I was pretty hopeful for this app. I liked how women needed to message first, which weeded out a lot of gross comments you'd normally get. However, it was pretty inconvenient that you only had a set time to message or your match disappears. And the same goes for them to respond. If you're caught up with work/out of town that can really damper potential conversations with people. There also isn't a huge dating pool to choose from, I kept getting the same people to match with over and over again after saying no a week before. Guys also wanted a phone number/snapchat almost after the first hello. That's pretty overwhelming if you're talking to a bunch of people at once. The most concerning though was the amount of really questionable guys on it. Guys that expected a relationship after the first date, or guys jobless and living with their parents, or guys who would flip out if you didn't respond within an hour. Bad date after bad message led me to deleting the app. If you're going to try online dating I'd suggest a bigger dating site where the majority of people are looking for something, and all are background checked!

Hi Chelsea!

Thank you for your message.

We're very sorry you've had this experience with us. However, the feedbak of our users is very important for us and we will definitely use it to improve our app. Our Hive is continuously growing and we are sure it is just a matter of time until you can see more new faces. Also, if you believe there isn't enough people in yous, we would recommend to slightly widen your search criteria. It really helps!

Please rest assured that we do all we can to ensure that all users on our app are genuine. For example, we have implemented verification by photo and hace a team of moderators working 24/7 checking all the reports we receive. That being said, Bumble is open to everyone, and we do not want to discriminate users based on their gender, religion or class.

We are sad to see you going, but we can assure you that we hear your feedback and that we will do our best to make Bumble better.

It's obviously not for people looking for something serious. 90% of the people on it aren't. The 10% that are aren't exactly worthwhile. It's something to do when you're bored and just see who you match up with, but it's really not something to take seriously. It's not even good for casual dating because most aren't looking for a date. The most you'll get is Netflix and chill. Not to mention all the d*ck picks and solacious comments by nearly 1/2 the guys that'll message you. If you're looking to mess around or have a laugh then this is the place. If you're looking to potentially find a connection you're in the wrong place.

I tried POF and that didn't take so I decided to try OkCupid since I heard it was a lot different. You fill out a personality assessment and answer questions for it to help find you people that match up. I was feeling hopeful about that feature until I saw the messages I was getting. Every guy that messaged me was very unattractive and to be blunt I'm an 8 so I was baffled guys like that even had the nerve to message me. I wait two weeks to see if it changed. Not one message. Not one person stood out to me or was even average looking. I'm not sure if it's better when you pay for a membership but the free features are definitely a no-go. If you're someone who isn't unfortunate looking I don't recommend this site. These are the types of people that live in their mom's basement. Put off free online dating completely.

I recently decided to try online dating for the first time and decided to give this site a shot because it was the most popular free site, and I wasn't looking to spend money on something I wasn't sure about anyway. I made a profile and uploaded some pictures and waited. Sure enough I was getting tons of messages a day from guys in my area. I was excited about the good chance at meeting someone, since it's hard to do so once you leave college, have a job, and aren't thrilled about meeting guys at the bar. I found out rather quickly though that most of the people on the site aren't people I was even remotely interested in. Middle-aged men constantly messaged me asking me if I want a sugar daddy or a lot of guys looking for sex. Now, I understand no matter where you go or what you do you're going to get people like that, but it was ridiculous. Out of all of the messages I got I only got a few that really made me want to talk to the guys. They seemed normal at first, but then if I wasn't able to meet up/reluctant to yet would get irrationally angry, acted like they were in love with me and said really obsessive things before even meeting me etc. And a lot of these guys were very attractive and seemed like they had a lot going for them in their lives. I was getting more and more frustrated because I wasn't finding what I wanted at all. I met with a few guys I talked to for a little on the site and I can tell you none of them were how they made themselves out to be over the internet. Pretty much to sum up this site it consists of people looking to hook up with people in their area, people with mental/psychological issues or people who are completely socially inept. Waste of time if you're actually looking for a serious relationship and want to meet someone.
