Bumble is fake. Prior to paying for a 6 month subscription, they "claimed" that I had 10 "likes" waiting for me. After my subscription payment was processed, those "likes" disappeared. For 6 months I received only four "likes." Then, to prove it's a scam, the day after my subscription ended, Bumble tells me that I have 9 new "likes" and that I would need to purchase another 6 month subscription to view their profiles. I actually tried to cancel the subscription within 30 days of my first day with Bumble, but they refused to provide me with a refund. Bumble is a joke. Please don't waste your money. Trust me.
I left it. There are better options: AdultsFlirt.com - an example of a legit site. I can confirm it as a lawyer and as a man who met his wife there. I have long forgotten all that nightmare experience with Bumble when all I had to do was figure out and filter off fake profiles (which make up the overwhelming majority of Bumble profiles) and then think of the ways to stop Bumble from overcharging me. Bumble use all the old tricks in the scam book: 1. Fake profiles to lure you in. 2. Overcharging you for "additional features" 3. Automatic renewal of your subscription at a much increased rate. 4. Gathering your data and passing it to the other lame sites. Just stay clear of it.

MY Bumble account was active for a few months. Even had a couple dates. BUT, that was after wasting a ton of time and $ on fake profiles. The way they work is the more attractive the Lady the more likely its a fake account. Then they Blocked my account after I responded to a female who made rude comments to me about my age, race, and hair color lol. Yes, they blocked me for responding in a semi negative way, " no foul language btw" to her insults. She is still on there, of course... Sexist, Racist to support her like that, you tell me?
Tip for consumers:
Was quick and easy.
It feels like a scam, a gimmick, a trick somewhat.
It showed my friend 4 matches, but when he actually paid for the premium, the matches reduced to 1.
They are just making money off men. We emailed their support, and they didn't even reply.
Do yourself a favor and don't install bumble if you like your money or if you have any self-respect.
Also, the reviews seemed way too positive, I think they are paying for fake reviews. I can understand women rating the app higher, but for men, it's not very useful and I am surprised how high the review is.
Tip for consumers:
DON'T USE IT
Fake profiles and a sabotaging algorithm. You will be made to feel like it's working but in the end it's all a scam and you will not find a partner or love
Tip for consumers:
Really just don’t use it. It will waste your time. If you pay it will also waste your money. If you’re sad, In the end you will be more depressed.
The company makes millions but won't spend enough to staff their customer service. I paid for a lifetime premium membership and they banned my profile for reasons that were not correct but they didn't care to find out because I had already paid the maximum they weren't going to get any more money from me so why bother to answer my request to text or email with a real person instead of a bot who just kept repeating the same answer which was totally false about me. Very sad indeed. Yet, my male friends have told me they get tons of fake foreign young women texting them - really? They aren't banned. I'm a professional woman and I got banned - my friends couldn't believe it.
Tip for consumers:
Had I known that I would not be treated fairly and that there is no personal customer service only a Bot I never would have spent money on them. And the time I was there I saw all the same people on Tinder - which is a much better-run company!

Bumble Date
Because women make the first move, men try harder with their profile. I loved the verified picture function, because of millions of catfish. That feature eliminated catfish for the most part. It's a pretty good app. I'm taking a sabbatical from online dating as it's so stressful, but Bumble is my favorite so far.
They don't give you any way to contact customer service they want to keep billing you even when you don't want the app anymore it sucks!
Tip for consumers:
If they had a customer service would be nice they don't
You get 1 chance to review profiles and there is no way that you can go back and see them again. Or if you have liked someone. No way to see their profile again. It's like a one-shot wonder. I feel I have wasted my money...
Would I suggest this site to anyone. No. Maybe if they change some of their practices I might.
Tip for consumers:
If you join make sure you review and maybe make a copy any of the ones you do like. Chances are... you won't ever see them again. Oh yes... its for your protection. Well, what if you swipe wrong and want to connect... and why can't you write an intro message to them. Just so much wrong.
It a money making scam, selling overpriced subscriptions, overpriced super likes and compliments. Which I got burnt for twice by deluded female woke-tards full of white racism and gender ideology.
FFS the site even has a "non-binary" third gender selection, like what is that! A "hermaphrodite"? Cause what you are born with downstairs is what you are, hence blue or pink, if you think you can choose, you need to see a shrink,(in a lunatic asylum).
I don't have any screenshots this time, I hastily deleted my profile cause I copped a gut full of mis·andry, all because I prefer women who have meat on their bones and love handles to hug.
Like I said about POF, gents if you are shy, lonely introverted like me, 1st step is admit it to yourself and then see a shrink and get social lessons even social groups. I might see there
Tip for consumers:
GENTS stay away
Bumble is a total scam. I deleted my account due to lack of matches, re-signed up got 25 matches instantly. They are definitely defrauding people and They should be delisted from the Apple store.
Be wary of this sketchy, scam site.
1. They'll hide the cancellation option and continue to auto bill you each month
2. There's men dressed up as women on the women's side
3. There's prostitutes and prostitution on the app
4. Customer service is impossible to contact or unhelpful for the rare time they do reply
5. Fake profiles of models
I could go on but you get the idea. Use at your own risk!
Lots of frustrating issues.
If you snooze this should pause your subscription too obviously.
Premium can see all matches so the other swiping side should be for new people.
Need a setting whereby if you are up for something casual, then in new city you shown people where you would normally not fit their distance filters. However if you aren't looking for something casual, then in new cities you should only be shown to those whose distance filter youd normally match. Too many "how far r away r u"!
Should be clear on the app when weekly benefits have renewed.
Finally its very easy to get banned by the tinder/match group because of baseless malicious reporting. Need a better appeals process. My friend got blocked by the group by someone on the app shed been seeing. Tinder very very unhelpful.
Bumble is a total scam from start to finish. They entice you into getting premium membership but when you pay for it they ban you. Ridiculously simple, isn't it? I have no idea how these rogues get away with scamming people so blatantly! Bumble tried to put unauthorized charges on me even after they banned my account! Lol Be wary of this app!
Bumble tries to be different by having a site where women are the ones who have to initiate contact with a man first, but apart from that it's just one more dating app that's designed to extract as much money from men as possible when most of the thing's you're paying for are basic elements that should be free. All you can do is swipe right for the women you like and swipe left on the one's that you don't and hope that someone likes you back and as a man that's all you can do. As we all know women have all the power on dating sites so why design a dating app that gives them more power is beyond me. Studies have shown most women tend to sit back and just because of their looks and gender await interest coming to them, so the theory behind the site is flawed. As a man why would I ever pay for a site that I have no ability to send messages? Why would I pay to merely unblur women's photos who have supposedly 'liked' me when there's a good possibility, I wouldn't be attracted to them? I'm looking for a partner, not paying to gamble. I have had women like me but whom suspiciously never make contact, even though they know the sites designed for them to do so and the man can't. I suspect these are fake accounts to entice guys to pay. Overall Bumble is just a carbon copy of virtually all dating apps on the market and not worth your time or money, especially if you're a guy.
Don't make anybody mad on here because they will report you out of spite and bumble will ban your account without review, despite saying they review it. And don't make purchases because they can ban you right after and it is non refundable. I had to order a chargeback from my bank and I suggest you do the same
Tip for consumers:
Si a bank chargeback and use tinder instead
I should add that occasionally I do get about 1 contact every 2+ months from Bumble. My profile has professionally taken photos from a photographer & looks really good {IMO}.
Women I've talked to get 200+ responses PER DAY from Bumble. My target age range is also higher: I'm looking for educated, in-shape, women in the 53-63 age range. I myself am 60 but am in very good shape. Thus ratios are highly skewed (no women// many men). They will automatically renew you unless you put the renewal date in a calendar & make sure to cancel just before that date.
You can get customer support if you complain enough. I think support is not US-based but not sure.
Tip for consumers:
try to meet people at events instead
Usual process of when a guy signs up, you'll get one tailor-made contact from an incredible woman. This is fake. She'll be gorgeous, have exactly your same interests, and will seem friendly and interested in you. After a few exchanges, her profile will disappear and you'll get no more contacts from her.
I think all the online dating services do this to lure in guys. After this, there'll be no more contacts from eligible women.
Asking to pay money in order to meet new people, very inconvenient) I hope the will stop
Asking money to get more
Likes
The app is not bad, what I can say after 2 days. But, their t&c's are not really transparent and they can kick you for no reason. The system is detecting "misbehavior" and that's it. The support is unfriendly and just giving general answers. Then they cut you off without a real answer. I regret to gave them 49.90$. Don't waste your money. My advice
Tip for consumers:
Don’t try to start networking on this website.

This is the same woman from Eros! And she is from Models World too! Her number is *******402! She is also a internet bully hacker! Beware!
I just want to say thank you to Bumble to give me my destined partner and my lifetime!i would recommend this app for sure to all the folks out there.
This is all about boosting single women's egos. There is zero chance at a real relationship. It's more freee female therapy than a dating app. Biggest mistake I've ever made
Tip for consumers:
If male, run and never look back
Bumble forces you to pick a cause 2 weeks after paying with no way to decline / access account. Beware!
Bumble charged FRAUDULENT account charge. They charged my account after a year of innactivity so I could not delete the app from my subscriptions. THIS IS CALL MALICIOUS SOFTWAR. They; capture you for another year. That means you are unable to delete the app after a year. FRAUD!
I would recommend to avoid Bumble! It's run by a pack of crooks who make money on quilting gullible people into paid subscriptions. They let in as many fakes and scammers as possible because this is how they make huge profit. They don't care about the integrity and legitimacy of their site. There are better options: http://J4Love.net was helpful to me. I met my girlfriend there. They mostly have genuine women.
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.
