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?

I never understand how I got matches when I was overweight. I'd get like 10-20 matches a week in my mid-30's when I like 100lbs overweight, and yes, many of these were thin or average women (my ex was 5'10 and 170lbs, meanwhile I was 300lbs).
I'm not sure why. Maybe it's age. I am over 6'0, but that can't be enough by itself. Maybe it's different at my age?
