Want to dive into the world of online dating? Then you may want to find out more about one of the most popular dating apps on the market, Bumble.
Bumble is a dating app that encourages women to make the first move. Once two people are interested in each other by swiping right, the woman has 24 hours to message the man she matched with. If a conversation isn't started, the match expires. However, men do have the option of extending the 24-hour window if they're really interested in a user. A disadvantage to Bumble is that it is only available on the smartphone app. There is no desktop version, so the only way to use this dating app is to have a smartphone.
This dating app takes only around three minutes to set up. It will ask for the user's photos, age, location, career, education, and a short custom-written biography. Although it is quick to set up, a lot of other sites ask more questions about your personality and preferences, so that you may match with someone who has common interests as you do.
Best Features
Not Many In-Depth Questions Are Asked
If you are looking for a long term relationship, you may have to do a lot of trial and error dating this with app. There are not in-depth questions that are asked, that might be important to you in a potential mate.
May Not Get Many Matches To Choose From
A common complaint that I found with Bumble is that a person may not get as many matches to choose from compared to other dating sites.
Other Products To Try
If Bumble isn't exactly what you are looking for, there are many other dating apps to try. I'll go over two dating apps that you may be interested in: OkCupid and Plenty Of Fish.
OkCupid is a free dating app, but if you want to see who likes you, you will need to pay for a membership. Unlike Bumble, this dating app asks a lot of in-depth questions about yourself. First, it asks you about your personality and how long you want your next relationship to be. It then asks some fun questions, such as if you would rather be weird or normal, whether you enjoy talking politics, and whether you'd like to date someone who is messy. It will ask about your physical appearance, and you can add up to six photos. Once you add your photos you can be done, or you can continue adding information about yourself, such as what your diet is, what your drinking habits are, and if you use any drugs. It takes around 15 minutes to set up, which is enough time to fill in everything without getting bored. Overall, OkCupid is a great dating app if you who want a match that has similar interests as you do.
Plenty Of Fish is a free dating app. However, for photo messaging you will need to pay for a membership. Unlike Bumble, Plenty Of Fish has many in-depth questions. It will ask around 100 questions, as well as 30 psychological questions. There are more questions that you can answer, but they aren't necessary. If you are looking for a dating app that will find someone with similar interests as you, then you may be interested in Plenty Of Fish.
Conclusion
Bumble is most well known by the fact that women get to make the first move. While this is a good and unique feature, this app does have some downfalls. First, customers complain that they don't get many matches to choose from. Second, not many in-depth questions are asked when you sign up. So that means you may not have much in common with the person you end up going on a date with. I hope that this review can help you decide if Bumble is a dating app you'd like to try!
