r/bumblebff

Crazy manipulative tactic tbh. I'm talking about people who go "I rarely use Bumble/can't pay for the membership/so pls hmu on Instagram so we can be friends!" EVERY time I've bothered to follow someone on IG/privately DMed them saying I'm from Bumble not a single one of them has DMed/followed me back. And the other day when I tried to reach out to a girl on Bumble in her DMs saying I saw her account on Bumble and would like to be friends, she blocked me. Wow, what a GREAT way to make friends with someone when you explicitly stated to follow/contact you on your bio. I don't know why every time I gave these mfers a chance but its clear they'd rather prioritise following count over making genuine friends. I'm stuffed with this app, and after Wednesday's debacle, I guess I'm really never gonna use it ever again 🤷🏻‍♀️

anyone else feel like there’s lots of inconsistency online when it comes to making friends or meeting people? It’s so hard to keep up or keep people interested anyways always looking for friends.🥰🌸

Hi all. I’m 25(f) and got a friend request from a guy 33(m) on bumble bff. He followed my Instagram as well and we chatted friendly only. We agreed to meet at a bar a few weeks later, and it was cool he was cool.

By the third bar and more drinks he was flirting with me then me being single and tipsy flirted back. Ended the night just fine but there was a lot of sexual tension and we kissed.

Now we are hitting the arcade tomorrow but also plan on hooking up.

But I’m newly 25, my frontal lobe is second guessing. I really did want a male friend. And now I’m like crap, I also could benefit from a fwb. But it just sucks like I’m at a crossroads? Don’t judge me pls. I’m torn between saying I truly did want to make friends and just sticking to plans. We both said fwb is fine and exploring the city is a want It’s odd to me that he was so comfortable though. It wasn’t regular bumble.

She's from London and is moving back tomorrow, but she flies down to Melbourne to live with her extended family for a month at least once a year. I loved having conversations with her and loved her unruly 'spicy' mean London girl nature - I guess looking back that was just code for her secretly being a huge bitch. I sent her a text that my Visa got approved to see her in the UK, but then she read my message, immediately blocked me after that and never talked to me again. I'm just in complete shock and I feel so hurt and let down that something like this could happen, but whatever, I'm not gonna waste my time thinking about her if she doesn't need me. Forgive me for venting but this is the second time a friend I've met in person on Bumble, seemed completely energetic to make plans with me again, then never talked to me again in person. It makes me feel less and less confident about using Bumble. maybe I should go the old school way and learn how to make friends in real life 😭 but it's hard

What am I doing wrong? I can’t click on a profile to enlarge it: Do you have to wave first? I feel like this should not be this difficult for me to figure out

I bin on it for years and i do find reactions that People who make lifelong friends on it so i felt hope. me I match with girls talk to them for a while and i made it clear that i want to meet up early; she says okey we set a date and then no reaction. They even iniate themself sometimes.

I genuily don't get what People get out of this... it's really anoying ,why make a whole profile on the app just to talk a little and not meet up. Do People not have better things to do ?? I Can't understand that People take the time out of their day to make a profile just to talk to someone and be very flaky or say things like yeah love to but never meet.....

I understand if you first want to get to know the person and maybe meet up in a public place but yeesh i am not a guy or sireal killer. I really don't get why make a profile with a whole bio about wanting to meet genuine friends to go out festival etc just to never see that person.

I’ve been leaving comments on posts by people complaining about the new BFF app and discovered that not many people know the lore behind the new app. The app didn’t come out of nowhere, it used to be an app called Geneva that was basically, how I’ve always described it, “girly Discord”because that’s what it looked like. It was an invite only app for content creators to connect and talk with other content creators in their niche and area (maybe it was also used for other things akin to Discord, but it was hard to search for other groups since they were invite only, and this was just my personal experience with it). I was on it for years because I worked with Adore Me, we were all talking about how the app was changing in real time, and then it suddenly became the new BFF app seemingly overnight and I haven’t heard from any of those people in the past three months (we didn’t know what was happening, we just knew something weird was happening with Adore Me that they weren’t telling us). So all of our content creator profiles just got magically switched to BFF profiles. So I hope that gives everyone a bit more insight on how weird this whole situation is. In my opinion, I preferred the old BFF app, and it sucks that people joining the app now have this impression of it. It just feels like BFF jumped through hoops to make the whole experience as weird as possible.

Also, R.I.P to the free undies that I will never get from Adore Me again because they also went dark with their creator program.
