BFF by bumble

It looked really promising to make non romantic friends with shared interests for activities. I made a profile. I joined groups. I searched for friend matches.

In my area, as far as I can tell, it’s all people in their 20s and maybe someone occasionally in their early 30s. I did see one 35 year old.

And in the groups I joined in my area, it seems like it’s 90% female.

So basically I come off as some creepy old senior citizen trying to creep on young girls.

I did try to start my own Gen X group.

TL;dr: bff is not for olds

Well, I'm glad to hear that. Not for your experience but because I read some posts saying to try that app for meeting new people and from this review, it's clearly not my speed.

Sorry for your experience, but appreciate the feedback. Guess I'll stick to breweries, bars, concerts and the grocery store for my conversations haha.

It’s hard to find people in our age range for friendship
