It’s the best friend you need, but honestly, judging by your track record, don’t deserve. It nudges you to meet the cute guy over at the bar (with Bumble Date), pulls you into its huddle of really cool friends while asking you to join their squad (Bumble BFF), and also gets you to hustle for that perfect job you’ve been dreaming about ever since you left college (Bumble Bizz). What I like about: Bumble is the wingman you secretly pine to have in your corner. Which is funny, because all I am looking for on Bumble is some dessert. This is a problem, yes, because sometimes it takes me longer to decide what I want to have for dinner. Once you’ve matched, you only have 24 hours to strike up a conversation before your prospective partner disappears into the dregs of deleted chats and long-forgotten matches.

That’s three different apps for the price of one (or if like me, you chose to go for the free version, the price of none).īut there’s a catch (if there wasn’t, would this even be a dating app?). However, in this case, the app comes with three different modes to look in – date eligible men with Bumble Date, meet new people with Bumble BFF, and network with aspiring entrepreneurs with Bumble Bizz.

You collect the ones you love, and ignore the ones you don’t.īefore you start swiping, you do need to fill out your profile – a few pictures, a well-worded bio, some personal questions (but not like the ones you get asked by your nagging aunt), and a quick verification later, you are ready to start looking. You can swipe right to ‘Like’, or turn left to ‘Oh-I-don’t-think-so’. How it works: Like most dating apps in the market, Bumble is a clearance sale of Facebook/Instagram profile pictures. Conventional ways of finding love are nonexistent for the quintessential gay man of today, so we look for every opportunity that comes our way, hungry for love - including dating apps that aren’t meant for us, in the conventional sense.Īlso, we're really bored of talking to the same people on Grindr. And contrary to most rom-coms, he’s not waiting for us at the airport. If our next big love isn’t hidden behind a mesh of profiles on the dating app of our choice, there’s a very big chance he’s not waiting for us at the bar with free drinks (and if he is, there’s a chance he might give us chlamydia). Actually, we don’t have safe spaces at all. We don’t have safe spaces when it comes to finding love. ‘Why do the gays need to infringe on our space?’ the vilest of bigots would ask, ‘Won’t they think about the children?’ they’ll yell.Īs a self-aware, self-loving gay man, let me tell you something. What it is: Bumble may have started in 2014 as a safe space for women to ‘date, meet and network better’ by sending the first message (and making the first move), but when have gay men ever let a good thing go to waste?
Without further ado, make a beeline for a fresh new beginning to last year’s hit series, and come say hi to Bumble.
But it’s 2019, and I’ve got more ground to cover. If you’ve been an avid reader of this column, you’ve probably read all ten of the brutally honest dating app reviews I covered last year. This implies that gay men are obsessed with the idea of finding companionship. Contrary to what we will tell you, gay men are obsessed with the idea of finding a sense of normalcy.
