Waste Of Money
August 21, 2024

In theory, the idea behind Bumble sounds good. Women make the first move so you would think you are matched with people who are really attracted to you. Reality doesn't match up! I happen to like younger women and maybe that is just unrealistic. I can't say how many times I have been matched with women and open with a respectful or humorous line and pow-they just evaporate. This happens whether I respond either based on physical attraction or common interests. So frustrating! I receive quite a few messages from women that want money or an "arrangement." Haven't met with a single person from this site after spending lots of money. Bumble charges for almost everything like spotlights, compliments, etc. I really think money would be better spent somewhere else but unfortunately I don't find the other online dating sites much better!

Misdadig
August 19, 2024

Super slecht.
Bij aanvang krijg je allerlei likes die geblurd zijn. Om ze te zien moet je bj betalen. Als je eenmaal betaald hebt komen er geen nieuwe voorstelen van mensen in de buurt of nieuwe likes.
Je kunt niet meteen communiceren met iemand waarvan je denkt dat die leuk is. Dit kan pas als de ander jou heeft geliked. Voor elke extra mogelijkheid moet je betalen.
Vervolgens is het opzeggen van het abonnement onmogelijk. De instructies die ze geven zijn niet toepasbaar.
Het mag duidelijk zijn dat het een site is die er vooral op uit is om jou niet te matchen met iemand om zelf zolang mogelijk geld te kunnen incasseren.
Trap er niet in!

I was banned on Bumble 07/13/2024. I tried multiple times to reach a live representative that could explain why I was banned. I received multiple times the same response stating that the ban is permanent and that I violated community guidelines. I asked what community guidelines I broke and received two automated responses.

After an investigation and much consideration, we have made the decision to permanently block your account for being in violation of our guidelines: https://bumble.com/guidelines.
We want to make sure that Bumble remains a fun, friendly, and, most importantly, safe place to make connections, so all members must comply with our guidelines to use Bumble.
Our decision about your profile can't be changed and exceptions will not be made.

We have investigated the block placed on your account extensively, including it being reviewed by multiple support team members, and I can confirm that the block was issued correctly.
To protect the integrity of our moderation processes, we are unable to provide any further details about this block. Please trust that these decisions aren't taken lightly, though we are always happy to review them as we have done on this occasion for you.
As we've now reviewed this block for you on multiple occasions, we will no longer be able to respond regarding this matter.
You can review our guidelines here:

Let's not talk about the past regarding Bumble because I'm sure there are many who have positive things to say about previous years of bumble. Let me just tell you this in the last 12 months this site results in nothing but what looks like clearly under age illegals and illegals That have been transplanted into the cities they now call home. So if that's what you're looking for bumble is the place to go in addition the ratio of liberals to conservatives on this site is at least six liberals to one conservative. The number of women who love to put in their post how much they hate Trump is only measured by their weight and less than attractive appearance. Listen, I've been on this site for the last four years and nothing has been worse about this site than the last 12 months. I wouldn't find a date on this site comparable, I don't care if the woman was a millionaire. Not one dime would I pay for Bumble after seeing the flood and let me tell you I'm being generous when I call it a flood what I should call it is a meteor impact of illegal underage, girls, and women looking for Mr. Goodbar. Don't waste your money and certainly don't waste your time.

I do NOT recommend Bumble to anyone who values their time, money and has dignity. This site is an expensive crap with zero customer service. They can at ANYTIME deny your access to your account and KEEP your personal info and pics. A total game of power.

I met Bruno Poirier 3 years ago. He is schizophrenic and bipolar and has narcissistic tendencies. He is extremely verbally and physically abusive. Also sexually perverted. He was charged with 5 counts of assault. Ladies do not get involved with this man please stay away. He will hurt you and destroy you.
I uploaded his photo.

At some point they decided to verify my photo. I sent them several pictures. They rejected all of them. Their requirements are ridiculous like "You copy the pose exactly", "Your photo matches your profile pictures". Do I have to go back in time? Do I have to drive 100 miles to the forest I had as background? They claim they use facial recognition software. Probably from 19th century.

The female profiles on this site all seem to like hiking, horse riding, yoga, wine, cheese, gin, the gym, and running.
Photos showing a selfie in the gym, crossing the finish line at races, or petting their horse.
Common pre-requisites from the women who are looking for their "partner in crime" include:
"must be able to make me laugh"
"must have nice teeth"
"Must have good banter"
"must have a beard"
Completely false, laughable and depressing at the same time.
Fake profiles and time wasters everywhere, verification means nothing.
The algorithm means you'll find your successful activity lasts around 1-2 weeks, after which your profile will be banished to the wilderness of Bumble, resulting in no more matches, and you'll have seen all there is to offer in the local area.
DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY.
Avoid this site like the plague.

When overseas
January 21, 2024

Guys like myself if you are in Japan you need to verify your age. Fair enough it asks you for proof ( drivers licence, Passport) which I have done but it will tell you like me can't verify after a few attempts it will lock you out saying you are under age contact support.
Good luck this is where the fun begins 1st response after 3rd day submitted what they asked for still waiting for an answer have been written every day still no answer.
So if you are overseas especially Japan which wants proof that you are over 18 STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP AS IT IS USELESS.

Scam! Paid 65$ for 1 month and got 5 matches.- now they have my profile (which I cannot take DOWN)... My image is up there... but I AM NOT THERE... they are profiting... Every time I try to take my profile down I get 10 screens of "you are not a robot right?"... then (and this is the kicker) I get a screen with "PLEASE COME AND VISIT US WHEN YOU ARE 18...SORRY YOU ARE NOT 18" I am 60 and I want to start a class action lawsuit against these clowns!

If they block you, they will not respond to your support messages and the only thing they will say to you on social media (Twitter/X) is we respond to everyone and we don't block for just any reason. They are quick to go on defense (Look under Trustpilot), but they will never fix their problem. Tons of people have been wrongfully blocked and it has never been fixed.

Do not use this site, I had only been on the site for 2-3 weeks, and if you read the terms and services, they pretty much keep track of the photos you have/had posted and of your IP address and phone number so if you try to make a second account you will be banned instantly.

Avoid bumble
November 16, 2023

Yet another bad review for bumble. Surprise, surprise (sarcasm). They banned me. I contacted bumble support several times to ask why I was banned. They refused to let me know. Fine. Don't tell me. Leave me in the dark. Well. If you choose not to tell me what I did wrong, at least refund me. Give me my money back. They also refused to refund me. Avoid bumble. Choose another dating app

All men beware! I have been bumple for a while and after a lot of swipes this has been my experience. There is rarely a real profile there. Bumble tries to keep you swiping and pay for premium features such as 'compliment', 'super like', etc. Occasionally you will get a match and start texting only to get no response after a text and then eventually be 'unmatched'. Sometimes you send a 'compliment' to someone and get an out of context scripted message and then no response either after!

It ismnot only frustrating but disappointing to know that you are being swindled by an App that calls itself legit. Contacting bumble support for help is impossible. They don't respond to your messages either! Bumble is similar to a scamming 'call center' overseas, but only right here!

A scary unsafe app
October 5, 2023

I started going out with a guy. He goes by the name Larry House. Or Houser. At first he was nice. Then he started verbally abusing me. He lied to my father about where we were going on a vacation. Turns out we didn't go to st Augustine, as he told my dad we ended up in North Carolina. The whole time he was swearing at me and threatening to leave my on the side of the road I was able to get help from a family member and got out and away from him! Stay away from this man Larry house -fl he isverbally abusive smokes 420 while driving and almost killed us,

It should be a Dating APP. But it is a APP with 99 Fake Pictures.
Normal People are not Models... Bumble makes that to get more people paid.
There are so many bad reviews about Bumble. JUST NOT USE THIS SCAM.

They rip you off. I hope they go down to 0 in NASDAQ this is SCAM/FRAUD

From the business

Bumble has changed the way people date, find friends, and the perception of meeting online, for the better. Women make the first move. On iPhone + Android.
