I have started to use Bumble and I got about 100 positive swipes in 3 weeks (using the paid option to see who swiped on me before). In general it is more fruitful because woman have to text you first so there is more commitment in their conversations. However, I have been on 3 real dates so far and the main issue still remains, profiles are borderline fake, half of these women seem to be mentally unstable and the general quality is low. I had one date where the woman in question happen to tell me in a little subclause that she is currently divorced with three children, something that wasn't mentioned in her profile. With another woman I couldn't find any resemblance to her pictures at all. I fell like the very first step, to see and meet in real life, is so time-consuming that the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Most people would be better off talking to someone from the friend circle or the gym, uni, spa, campus etc. to skip that lengthy date setup.
Bumble stats: about 1 in 3 matches will actually text you and of these about 1 in 3 will go on a date, so expect a 10:1 match to date ratio.
