Bumble: Dating app & Vrienden

Complete scam! 5 people like me yet no match…. Untill you pay…

The only thing dating apps like this are made for is to drain your wallet the American way. They don’t care about you as a person as long as you keep paying ridiculous prices for what you get. And if you don’t pay, it’s completely useless—you get zero likes or only fake accounts. I’d rather spend another 10 years single than go through the hell of overpriced dating apps that exist solely to make you addicted and play with your emotions for profit. Unfortunately, this app is just another one of them. If, like me, you have no choice because you’d never meet a living soul of your same age otherwise, then this is the best of the worst—but still unaffordable and downright depressing. More than 1 star isn’t possible because of the insane pricing, the flood of fake accounts, and the American-style emotional manipulation designed to squeeze money out of you. And I already know the response will be the typical, over-the-top, corporate-sounding: “I’m sorry to hear that.” Nope, you’re not sorry, because you don’t care. It’s just your job to reply. So either change the app and make it actually human-centered, or just be honest and admit it’s all about shareholder profits, not people. Right now, I’m just happy to be off it for a while, but I know the time will come when I’ll have to go back, just to find a real human being again—because living in total isolation isn’t exactly the dream either. Here’s to hoping for an app that’s actually built for human emotions, that values people over profit, and that follows a European mindset instead of exploiting emotions for cash. P.S. This is from a male perspective, because I have no idea how much women have to pay for a subscription or if there’s a difference. Dating apps often have different subscription models for men and women, and men usually get far fewer likes. I was lucky to get at least one like some days, but whether it was real or fake? Who knows. I haven’t asked women about their experience, so I can’t comment on that—but most men I’ve talked to feel exactly the same way.

Ik zet er gewoon een foto in komt die app met een melding dat het niet goed is ja hallo je ziet gewoon m’n gezicht geen filters niks en toch problemen wat is dat dan

Het lijkt echt onmogelijk om een fatsoenlijk gesprek te voeren met vrouwen op die platforms. Het is niet alleen Bumble waar dit speelt, maar ook op andere apps. Veel vrouwen lijken daar alleen maar te zitten om likes te verzamelen of om samen met vriendinnen profielen door te nemen voor de lol.

Zijn wel veel nep profielen aanwezig. Ook dat als je een like hebt, dat er geen reactie komt.

Je hebt geen idee wat je nu gedaan hebt en je likes zijn niet terug te vinden. Daarnaast moet je voor complimenten betalen of duurder abonnement nemen, je reinste geldklopperij. Eens maar nooit meer.

Truly horrendous support and unfair treatment

I just got a super swipe and found out that it's really unclear who gave you that like. I was expecting a lot from it because I use super swipes myself. But if it does not make stand out what's the point. Stupid cash grabbing app!

Wat een waardeloze app, Bijna geen serieuze profielen en de inhoud van de profielen is belabberd. Zo der locatiegegevens is de app niet eens te gebruiken. Het is gewoon nutteloos swipen.

They advertise on how they empower women by letting them react first. I’mtotale fine with that. Reality shows however clearly that most of the time women don’t like to send the first message or don’t get any further than sending “hallo”… So although I like the concept and want to support it, my experiences tell me it’s not really working and actually creating a first initial barrier..
