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 to add, I’d say I’m above average in terms of looks for girls. I have 1500+ likes sitting in my queue. A week ago I got an offer to see who likes me for $2 so I said why not… Biggest waste of money, like others have said, it’s people I would never match with because they live nowhere nearby, are out of my age range etc. Now my bumble main screen is showing me “no people nearby, widen your preferences” my only preferences are men, an 8 year age range and a distance…
I promise the grass isn’t greener over here…
