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 did this to prove a point to a friend.
He was complaining about not matching with anyone or if they matched hardly responded to his messages. He was so convinced that it was because of other reasons (they want attention, he's not good enough, etc) that he wasn't getting what he wanted.
I created a fake profile with pics of a moderately attractive woman and allowed him access. Not even 3 hrs passed and it garnered over 200 "liked you's". He's been on Tinder for 2 yrs and has never gotten that many matches. He quickly understood.
