Have you been using Bumble for a while and haven’t found a match yet? Have you swiped steadily for days and got no results? If so, this tutorial is for you. You’re not alone in bad luck, and while it won’t make you feel any better, it’s usually more about how dating apps work than any shortcomings you may have. This article will show you what to do if you don’t get a match on Bumble.
We hear this complaint mostly from men. Since Bumble is a female-centric dating app where all power belongs to women, men have to work a lot harder to get a date. That’s great in a way, because when you’re dating someone it should be so much more rewarding. Getting there in the first place is the first hurdle we have to overcome, and that’s what this article is about.
You are not
The first thing to realize is that it probably isn’t about you. You are not ugly or attractive. It’s not because you’re not Tom Hardy or you don’t earn enough. This is just how dating apps work. It’s not about you or any real shortcomings. It’s about your profile and its shortcomings.
The main reason most people fail on dating apps is because they’re not in marketing. Sad but true. You are the product you are trying to sell on dating apps and you will struggle if you are not a salesperson. Unless you follow these tips.
Start getting matches on Bumble
I will give you some tips to improve your Bumble profile. I suggest you do all of them, but even if you change one or two things, your chances of being matched increase.
get a second opinion
Do you have a friend of the same gender you are trying to attract? trust them? Ask them to look at your Bumble profile and give you their honest opinion. This is market research. Ask your target market what they think, what they like and what they don’t like. Before we go to fix it, we need to know what is wrong. In other industries, we would then move away and refine the product based on this research. We will do the same here.
change your pictures
While Bumble isn’t as superficial as Tinder, it’s still all about looks. This is your product photo and it needs to look good to attract buyers. Enhance your images and increase your chances. If your second opinion gave you ideas for your photos, keep them in mind when making new ones.
Your pictures are the first thing everyone sees of you on Bumble, so they have to be good. No, they must be more than good. They must be great. Enough to get the person reading your bio and swiping on you. Make sure the main image is really good in front of you and in the middle and preferably smiling.
Make sure you use as many images as possible. Make them mainly from you in different situations. Whether it’s at work, playing sports, your hobby, keeping your puppy, saving lives or whatever. Make sure they’re real, reflect the real you, and show your best.
Revisit your bio
Your bio is the product description. It is designed to support the product image and provide additional data to encourage purchasing. On Bumble, your bio is designed to complement these images and tell the reader something they don’t know about you and give them a reason to choose you. It’s harder than it looks, but doable!
Here are some tips for writing a Bumble bio:
- Use humor if you can naturally.
- Be positive.
- Talk about your interests, passions or hobbies.
- Be honest and make sure it’s originally read.
- Write, read, edit, repeat.
It will take some time to prepare a winning biography. Write down the ideas as they come to you and then sit for an hour and write one or more bios. Leave them overnight and read again the next day. Arrange them and repeat the whole exercise until you are happy.
Get another second opinion
If there is someone in your target market you can trust, ask them for feedback again. Show them your pictures, your biographical ideas, and then ask for honest feedback. It’s a circular process that improves your bid every time you do it. Even if you’re (probably) not specifically trying to lure your friend, they’ll have a much better idea of how to get your profile down and will be able to offer wise advice. Use it in the next round until you’re both happy.
Practical changes to get more Bumble matches
There are other things you can do to increase your chances on Bumble. Increase the age range, increase the distance and complete your profile completely. Work, school etc. A profile full of content will ensure that you are viewed more positively by your target audience. There are rumors that Bumble prioritizes partial profiles over full profiles, but that’s just a rumor.
Either way, a completed profile gives your flirts more to work with and immediately convinces them that you’re worth swiping on!
