Bumble is one of the most popular dating apps out there today. According to a 2021 Bloomberg report, Bumble had over 42 million active monthly users as of January 2021. According to Lovz, some pros of Bumble are its image-recognition AI technology, which can detect when a d*ck pick has been sent, she says. “It’s refreshing to have an application built for and by women that lives up to its nickname as ‘the feminist Tinder.’” Bumble also has Bumble BFF and Bumble Bizz features, which allow you to take a break from dating, and match with potential friends or career mentors.
One of the biggest cons of using Bumble is the fact that women have to message first and within 24 hours (again, this only applies to heterosexual matches). If you’re on the shy side, this feature might be intimidating. “Connecting with someone online is difficult enough without having one party muffled,” Lovz says. “Luckily, Bumble tries to make starting conversations easier with Bumble questions, which users can select to start a conversation.”
According to Bombola, however, even shy gals shouldn’t be too unnerved by the task of breaking the ice; men on the app are pretty happy to have the pressure taken off them. “After talking to male friends and clients, [the format] takes the fear of rejection of shooting one’s shot off the table if they know a woman is interested,” Bombola says. “Then, they can take it from her initial message and be the lead.”
