Bumble For Friends: Meet IRL 17+

Okay so I signed up for this app like a year ago ever since I came home from school, separated from my friends, & started working, I’m 22 years old with autism and I’m really good with ppl and starting to get better at communication. I met some ppl on this app and some I even met up with them in person which were great. The meetups were absolutely fun and hope to see them again :)

But honestly, I’ve been scammed by a few girls here. They eventually swiped me on bumble and I swipe back. They seem interesting so I was like why not and they plan to want to meet up with me. And vibe with me so we exchange instagrams. I then messaged them on Instagram because we aren’t on bumble that much and that’s fine

Next thing you know. I find out that many of them blocked me on Instagram for absolutely no reason when I simply ask hang out they have any plans like friends do? Most of them were disappearing one by one sadly as I became more devastated after losing my best friend 💔💔 honestly I never felt this alone before. You say you want to hang out and stuff but you block me out of nowhere ? What did I do?? I didn’t do anything to them. That really broke me.

But honestly this app is good for meeting ppl if you’re new to a city. It’s their loss because I am a nice and kind sweet person and the best friend would ever have. Too bad that these ppl failed to see that but I no longer want to try and fix it.

Thanks for your kind words. We're sorry to hear your experience with other members hasn't always been great. Your feedback is so valuable to our team and we love knowing that you’re enjoying your experience. We’re so lucky to have you as a part of The Hive. 💛

I've been using Bumble for months with no issues! Then all of the sudden I am logged out and my account is blocked out of nowhere, no warning, no anything! I read the community guidelines throughly and know I didn't do anything to break any of the rules. I contacted bumble support and I absolutely got no help. I felt like I was talking to a robot. Not only did I receive the same exact responses twice, but I was provided no real explanation over what happened, and absolutely no solution, then was told that I would no longer be getting a reply after 2 messages. If it was real people helping then they would see that there's nothing wrong with my profile. It is a shame because I enjoyed using Bumble until this unfair issue/ treatment arose!
Update: Contacted Bumble support again via Twitter or X and still get the same responses I got via email. There was no real solution provided or no real reasoning as to why I got blocked. No appeal process, no way to access/ see your account to confirm that you didn't go against community guidelines. And after 2 messages they say that they won't be responding anymore. My original statement still stands, and I'm really disappointed.

Thanks for updating your review.
We always appreciate feedback from our users.

Mentally I have been cataloging various failures on the part of Bumble. Ages ago it was a worthwhile dating app. However, as of the past few years… it definitely has gone downhill.

The Bantr effort was good on paper, but in practice the men I would chat with either denigrated me to an object since there weren’t any images, and were already making very sexual remarks from the get-go, OR they were patronizing from the start OR talking with them was like trying to herd cats. Beyond that, Bumble on its own hosts some of the most egotistical men I have ever matched with on a dating app which seems sensationally out-of-character considering the reason for its creation. Lastly, their efforts at competing with other dating apps seem woefully pathetic and lacking in imagination. My “Opening Line” does not automatically send, nor does it allow me to copy and paste to send or something of a similar vein. You would think this “invention” would not require one to retype the entire question each time, but it does.

I think that paying for Bumble is not worth it, and now I am simply fed up with the app altogether. So downloading it does not seem worthwhile at this point either.

We appreciate your review. It looks like you're referring to the Bumble app, and not Bumble For Friends, but we'd be glad to address your concerns. Please know that we don't tolerate any behavior on Bumble that goes against our guidelines (bumble.com/guidelines), including sexual harassment, and that you can report any profiles directly in the app. Your Opening Move should be sent automatically to your matches, so this is definitely something we'd like to investigate. Can you please reach out to us bumble.com/contact? Thank you. 🫶
