Ladies-first dating app

When it comes to dating apps, Tinder is arguably the front-runner. While there are more similar apps cropping up these days, the popular platform still holds the reign. Bumble is yet another social app that provides a convenient way to connect users to their potential better half for free. However, unlike Tinder, it aims to level the gender playing field by having a roughly equal ratio of male to female users. More than that, it also requires the ladies to make the first move after a match.

Compared with Tinder

Bumble and Tinder work similarly. Both apps want to get you out there as soon as possible to meet your match. However, the process of making a match is quite different. The biggest of which is that in Bumble, only women can message first. If you're a man, all you can do is like the profile of the user that caught your interest. It is up to the woman to decide if she wants to respond or not. A man can send an icebreaker to extend the connection another day. However, if a woman drops out, it is over.

Additionally, Bumble has a more in-depth profile than Tinder. Unlike the latter, it asks a lot of information about yourself, such as your height, whether you smoke, or what you are looking for in the app. It even prompts you to answer questions, such as your best travel story or if you prefer Netflix over nightclubs. Answering the questions generally increases the chances of matching with someone who shares the same ideals as you.

Bumble extends this difference by allowing users to make platonic and business relationships through Bumble BFF and Bumble Biz. However, since the app is generally made for romantic connections, these features are basically ghost towns. 

Same goal, a different journey

There are many online dating services available nowadays, but Bumble is perhaps the only contender to Tinder. Both apps have the same goal of helping you make lasting connections with people near you. However, how you get there is a different matter. Where Tinder allows you to dip your toe in a large ocean of single people, Bumble lets you dive into a smaller pool where matches are less frequent but more promising
