What About Bumble?

Bumble is one of the first dating apps where women make the first move, and guys can't connect unless she chooses to connect with them.
The woman has to initiate the conversation first, placing it in the women's court and taking the pressure off the men.

The great ideas of this app: Allowing women to make the first move really gives women the power to select the partner they think most suits them, rather than the men choosing.
Men are often less picky in their choices of mates versus women who are more choosy. This is a good thing, and is inherent in our makeup; women need to be more choosy for obvious reasons.

The not so great aspects of this app I've found (from a woman's perspective):

1. Men don't take the initiative and pursue as much, when they believe the woman will take that role.
which could go so far to say, that these types of men on Bumble may not be willing to take that initiative to pursue as much in a relationship outside of Bumble either. For example, the woman initiates the conversation as to say " Hi there, how are you enjoying your weekend?", with the man responding, "great." The initiative isn't being taken as easily when it's assumed the women has taken on that role.

2. Bumble seems to be a hookup site (caution ladies!), with the likes of a Tinder. Even if a woman states "no hookups" or only interested in serious relationships. I have seen that men don't often take that seriously, in person. As women, we need to make it clear again, upfront in the initial stages that we aren't interested in that (unless you have different motives, of course), and make it clear what you are interested in, say friendship, dating or a serious relationship.

3. Many people seem to be using the apps/sites as a way to validate their worth, instead of really desiring a to meet someone or even start a relationship. This leads to many "false" connections, that often lead nowhere or to dating which is "non-committal."

Overall, it's the best out there for women, in my opinion, and women just need to be strong about what they are wanting, and state it up front when chatting. If you haven't given it a shot you absolutely should! Just beware of the downfalls listed above, and guard your heart, but be open to the idea of meeting someone great :)
