Similar to my experience with Tinder, when you first create an account you will get a couple matches in a short amount of time, then none after a week. So the algorithm is rigged to get you hooked like your first drug high.
The average woman looks way more attractive on Bumble than Tinder. It's obvious that their algorithm sorts attractiveness and pushes attractive profiles (many of them inactive profiles) to the front of the queue.
Another thing is that it doesn't filter out your Facebook friends.
During my dating time, I've used Bumble, Tinder, OK Cupid, Match, POF and Zoosk simultaneously.
My theory was to cast as many lines into the dating sea as possible to increase my chances of finding the best catch.
It's all a numbers game.
That small investment paid off tremendously.
I was able to talk and date a wide variety of woman and hone in who I would invest most of my time.
Bumble proved to be the winner.
The quality of woman is definitely a step above Tinder, about the same as Match.
POF and Zoosk had many flakers.
The idea for a woman to make that first step if both matched was at first frustrating but proved to be the key.
The woman feels empowered to make that decision and you know that the chances of meeting and perhaps dating is in your favor.
I met a fantastic woman on Bumble and we've been dating exclusively for 6 months and going strong!
Online dating can be frustrating but going about it as a social experiment (don't get too serious on the sheer number of 'wasters' and taking the opportunity to know more about yourself in the process can alleviate the BS.
Quite winded here but I would highly recommend Bumble. (NYC area)

Bumble, I had no luck on and probably better that I don't use it anyway. Since it puts the onus on the girl to approach, goes against my rule to reject any girl who approaches first.

What's your theory behind this rule of yours?
