Bumble Premium+ post mortem/breakdown +observations

Tl;Dr - 100+ matches in less than a week, but the experience still sucks as a guy.

Hadn't tried using premium+ on bumble, it was them basically copying Tinder in this aspect by tiering the likes and features further.

Seems like most dating apps trend towards 3 or 4 tiers: free, premium and premium+

I used to get matches as a free user with occasional premium subscription (one week max). That changed a while ago, roughly when they introduced premium+. Thought I'd give it a try and share my experience as a user in NCR. Hadn't used bumble in a few years either.

Some numbers : 🔴10-15% of matches expired without any messages exchanged 🔴50-60% of matches did not initiate or put effort in conversation 🔴5-10% looking for sugar daddy and passenger princess treatment 🔴5-10% are absolutely unhinged and desperately need doctors and therapists. 1 psycho blocked. 🔴 Remaining profiles are scammers and fake

The sad part of being an average guy on dating apps is that you don't usually get matches 99% of the time. And when you do, it's often shitty nonetheless. The level of entitlement in women on dating apps is way too high, with very little substance to offer.

On the plus side, did get a few decent contacts (10-15) and some are also interested in attending my dating mixers too. Haven't met any of them yet, will see how it goes.

To those who want more matches on bumble, give premium+ a try with good pics and profile. It could be a very different experience for you in a different metro city. Planning to visit Mumbai and Bangalore soon, might try this there as well. Don't think it's useful for tier 2/3, not enough users there in the first place to need premium. Happy to help you with profile suggestions and consultation if need be.

But please be very careful, don't exchange insta/numbers too soon, and watch for scammers who ask you to come to a specific location/restaurant only. Always decide the place of first date yourself, letting women decide is too risky these days.
