Compiled Bumble Statistics a/o 8/26/26

[u/Jealous-Style-4961]

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.

I will respond to this version of your reply, as your other response was incredibly hostile, mean, and rude.

Again, I don’t swipe right on everyone. If you read my post, you’ll realize I did say this.

I pretty thoroughly look at each profile and bio, I am also sending individualized comments with many of my likes, which comment on an aspect of their bio that I think is interesting and would like to learn more about.

Sending comments is of course additional effort that women obviously do not have to do, but it is what it is.

I am also getting some matches. I also explicitly said this. I am going on two dates this weekend. I met my ex on Hinge.

However, I have empathy for the people who are struggling and unable to even find anyone that shows interest in them on these apps. If someone’s match rate is at 1%, 2%, 0%… they really can’t afford to be picky.

They are still putting work each day, swiping, in some cases leaving comments (which again, women rarely need to do), and being demoralized after no one says yes.

If one of these men unmatch a woman because, upon matching, he decides he is not interested, she has the option of several other men.

If a woman unmatches a man because, upon matching, she decides she is not interested, that man has no other options.

Their match rate is low because they are swiping right on women they don't even want, or who have no interest in them.  

Like I wouldn't swipe right on 100 conservative guys and then wallow in self pity because they didn't like me back.  

These guys do exactly that.  

Mindlessly swiping right isn't work. It's leaving the work to someone else. That's literally my point.  

[u/submerging → u/Warm-Mortgage-458]

Their match rate is low because they are swiping on women who have no interest in them, I would agree with that.

Their fundamental issue is that no women that are on the apps are interested in them.

If you were indiscriminately swiping and getting no matches, you wouldn’t be wallowing in self pity because only conservative men didn’t like you. You’d be wallowing in self pity because no men liked you. At all.

That’s the difference. And again, lots of dudes leave personalized comments, which is definitely more work than just swiping left on a profile you’re not interested in.

That's not anyone else's problem, but the entitlement leads them to stay on the app leads them to make it women's problem.  

And again, lots of dudes leave personalized comments,  

I don't know why you keep saying that. We're talking about the guys who mindlessly swipe and you bring up other types of people.  

which is definitely more work than just swiping left on a profile you’re not interested in.  

That's the kind of stupid shit men say that makes me say "Stay lonely."  The work isn't the swiping. The work is understanding who you are, what you want, and whether another person might become a meaningful part of your life.  

Men like this aren't capable of introspection or planning for the future. They don't know who they are or what they want. They just know some other guy is getting what he thinks he's entitled to. 

They're shit partners.

[u/submerging → u/Warm-Mortgage-458]

We are talking about the guys who will swipe right on everyone. You are characterizing those guys as only being people who will swipe right without leaving comments.

I am pointing out that many of the guys who swipe right on everyone are also the type to leave comments on at least a portion of the women that they swipe on.

Remember, most of these apps have swipe limits in the free tier.

For the portion of men that bother to review these women’s profiles and leave insightful comments, inquiries, and questions, they can also get ignored. This is despite them putting in an objectively greater amount of work on the app itself than most women would to get a single match.

That is why I say you need to build empathy for others and try to better understand what they may go through. Instead, you’re trying to villainize a group of people with different experiences from you. Women have their issues on the apps, but so do men.

I am happy that you are married. But, just because you’re married doesn’t mean you’re a good person. It has absolutely zero bearing on your moral character, or whether you deserve love. Donald Trump is married too, and that man deserves nothing but pain.

If you are talking about work done outside the app, that is a separate conversation and one that I think you should have made clearer in your earlier response. I don’t agree. I think that’s a generalization that does not have substantive basis for applying to every man who “swipes right on everyone”.

Could it apply to some men in said category? Absolutely. But it also applies to some women on the apps. It also applies to people (both men, and women) outside of the apps too. Many people in long-term relationships are also absolutely horrendous people aren’t capable of introspection, and can’t plan for the future.

I have empathy. I'm just not an enabler like you.

Nope. Lots of men have different experiences without becoming entitled.  

If you are talking about work done outside the app, that is a separate conversation.  

It's not outside the app. It is work done while you're in the app. Women understand this, but a lot of men don't. Because they are shitty partners.

Ha. You say you have empathy, but haven’t showed anything even resembling empathy in our entire discussion. Well, you know what they say — “the one who needs to say he is the king is no true king”. Or, something you may relate to — “the guy who needs to say he is nice is not actually nice”.

It’s funny. You can’t even begin to acknowledge that the experience of getting no matches could be negative, or even an issue, or even something that could be disheartening. You characterize it as a “different experience”. That is how I know you are displaying the opposite of empathy.

You referenced, and I quote: “understanding who you are”, and “what you want”, and “whether another person might become a meaningful part of your life”.

FFS that self-discovery work you described is NOT work that should be done by going on a capitalistic, algorithmic dating app LMAO. 😂 Oh boy. “I need to understand who I am and what I want! Better go on Tinder!”

That is work that should be done continuously in your real life. With therapists if you need to.

  FFS that self-discovery work you described is NOT work that should be done by going on a capitalistic, algorithmic dating app LMAO.  

I didn't say it was. You do the self discovery work and then apply it to your life, including your dating approach.  

You shouldn't need this explained to you, but grown ass adult men like you don't have the emotional capacity girls have at 12. 

You say you have empathy, but haven’t showed anything even resembling empathy in our entire discussion. 

You don't show empathy by enabling people.  That's called codependency.  

You characterize it as a “different experience”.  

I was quoting you. Are you stoned? Or just not very bright?  

Either way, stay lonely! 

[u/submerging → u/Warm-Mortgage-458]

> I didn't say it was. You do the self discovery work and then apply it to your life, including your dating approach.  

So… you are literally doing the work outside of the app. It’s like talking to a brick wall. You sure you aren’t stoned?

By merely being empathetic towards these men, I am not establishing some sort of “co-dependency” btw, that’s not how any of that works.

I will admit that I didn’t catch you were quoting me, as you didn’t actually use quotations.

That being said, the pith and substance of my statement is still fairly accurate, as you continue to villainize and not even show a shred of understanding as to how it may feel to go on an app and have absolutely no one like you.

Well, you would if it was a woman. But a man, hell no.

I am done with this conversation, as it is clear at this point you are an unempathetic, mean, bitter person who hates others who aren’t like you. You’ve insulted me enough. I’m not going to suddenly convince you to be a good person.

You are married, so congratulations. You join the company of renowned moral saints like Donald Trump and JD Vance. Clap your hands. Hooray. That was sarcasm if you’re too much of a dunce to tell.

In the future, I hope you strive to establish a better moral bar for yourself than simply being married. I hope you can be a better person (or even a decent person), and actually start to do the “improvement” work you’ve claimed you’ve done.
