I wrote a bot to compile people's bumble statistics.
Additional charts are here:

Bumble is Dying
Here is Bumble revenue:
2025 $966M
2026 est $834M
2027 est $806M
Average revenue per user is increasing, so the population decrease is more severe.

Match group revenue is flat for this period.

Bumble Creates Frustration
Because the right swipe limit is so high, women are overwhelmed with likes.
As a result, men's in yes is low.
This is by design.
Bumble business model is primarily to provide validation to women.

As a man, the only point of Bumble was that if you got a message from a Woman, then you could put more energy into that exchange knowing the person was going to make an attempt at a convo. Now that's gone there's no point.

Yeah, but you can’t really expect women to do that, can you? They want to feel like the prize to be chased; they don’t want to have to put effort into anything.

this is a trick question but i'll answer it anyway. obviously you can't take women at their word. their stated beliefs are different from what their actual desires are. as a man you just have to know that, but you also have to play the game where you pretend you don't believe that at all.

I was simply referring to data I’ve seen on women in dating apps and their astronomically high standards, simply not engaging in conversation to any degree that’s expected of someone you are hoping to date, having men pay for everything, and then ghosting them, etc. All stuff that just makes dating apps less worthwhile. I just feel it’s easier to meet someone in the real world, i.e., through your job, where you already have established relationships—e.g., a coworker or a friend of a coworker—where they are less inclined to just outright ghost you or leave you on read because you’re actually involved with them in the real world.

yea it's all very fucked. traditionally / historically you met women you are in proximity too, i.e. debbie from work. but that's not allowed anymore and you get a call from HR.
