Dating App Review: Bumble

Ladies and gentlemen:

Are you tired of the same old dating apps? Well guess what. I am happy to tell you about a new app: BUMBLE. 



Bumble is the brain child of an ex-Tinder founder. So far, it is the best I've seen. For months, I've wondered where the hot men were in my area. If I exist, a hot, young, professional, surely my counterpart exists. Hopefully, he does, on Bumble. 

Bumble is similar to Tinder. It connects to your Facebook (but does not post to it!). You control your settings and what images get posted. You can even write a blurb about yourself. You swipe right if you like someone, and left if you don't.

What makes it better? The ball is in the woman's court. Long gone are the days that a woman must wait to initiate contact. A connection is made on Bumble when both parties swipe right AND the woman initiates contact. A woman can only initiate contact within 24 hours. If she doesn't, then the male is given the option to extend the 24 hour window an additional 24 hours. It's a brilliant plan because it forces immediate contact - not just a match that sits there without anything further happening. 

I must admit - I get delighted when I get a match. "You have a bee in the hive!" 

My first 24 hours so far in Bumble have been great. The men are much better looking, professional, and overall appear to match my criteria. I like that I'm able to have more control. 

Who knew that there were so many eligible bees in the hive! This is where the hotties have been hiding. We'll see where the bumble bees take me.
