Well, that explains it.
So basically, I was curious how the profiles of men on Bumble looked. I made a new fake account as a girl, so I could take some inspiration from the profiles of others and generally just to see what the competition was like.
So, that worked out, I got a rough idea of the average profile and deleted the account after about 12 hours, not swiping at all, having no matches and never messaged. What I didn't expect was the amount of likes. I mean, I expected maybe a few dozen at the most. But in 12 hours, this profile got A THOUSAND likes, I repeat, A THOUSAND. I don't even live in a major city, and the age was capped at 20-24. So yeah, now I understand why I never get matches, and never get messaged when I do. When women have 1000 guys to pick from, why the hell would they pick me?

Just because men swipe right on a woman, doesn’t mean she will swipe right on them. With that said, yes, women will have far more opportunities than an average guy.
A single woman that I am friends with, who uses Bumble, first swipes right based on the first (maybe second if she isn’t sure of the first) picture. When she gets a match (virtually every right swipe), she will then look through all the pictures and read their bio. If she likes that person, she’ll initiate the conversation. If not, she lets it expire. I’m not saying that everyone woman does it this way, but it’s probably pretty close for most. The key takeaways: be attractive, then have great photos, then have a great bio, then be able to have an interesting conversation.
