Top 10 Bumble Hacks to Get More Matches & Dates

Are you tired of seeing no results after working hard on your Bumble profile?

If so, you’re not alone.

There are many guys who feel frustrated after having no success on dating apps, even after taking the time to curate a strong profile. Online dating apps like Bumble are extremely popular which means there's a lot of competition.

To let you in on a little secret: nobody knows how to make a good profile. They think it’s about just being honest or funny, when actually there’s an algorithm that favors certain kinds of pictures over others.

Here are the best Bumble hacks to help you get more matches with higher-quality women on the app.

1. Swipe during peak times

One way to maximize the number of profiles you see is to swipe during peak times on the app. According to Bumble, people are less picky about who they swipe right on during Friday and Saturday nights.

This goes for those on other dating apps too, so many are sure you're swiping as much as you can on Friday and Saturday nights as this is how the Bumble algorithm works.

2. Use high-quality profile pictures

On a dating app like Bumble, your profile photo is your first impression, so you want to make a memorable one on potential matches.

Your profile photos should be high-quality — avoid all blurry and low-quality photos. And all of your photos should show your face clearly and if you can, hire a professional photographer to snap a few photos of you.

Wondering how does the Bumble algorithm work?

It relies heavily on your profile pictures, so make sure you're making a good first impression.

3. Verify your profile

Verifying your profile is an important step in building trust with women on the app. Women commonly have to deal with fake profiles and catfish and can be wary of fake profiles.

When you verify your profile, you’re authenticating yourself and showing women that you are who you say you are, which will make them feel much more comfortable talking to you.

4. Ask a question in your bio

Women get a lot of first messages on dating apps like Bumble and can be pretty busy on the app. They aren’t spending much time trying to figure out how to send the first message, so why not make it easier for them?

When potential matches read your bio and see a question, they’ll have an easy way to start a conversation since all they have to do is answer.

5. Don’t swipe too much

If you’re constantly swiping on Bumble, the app won’t boost women to your profile since you’re so active and going through so many profiles.

Take a break from swiping on the app and let Bumble push your profile to women who have liked you. Bumble’s algorithm is constantly changing, but apps like Bumble will try to push users who are inactive to keep using the app by offering incentives and more potential matches.

6. Get rid of selfies

Although you might like them, selfies do not do well on dating apps like Bumble. Get rid of your selfies and replace them with photos your friends or family have taken of you.

Selfies can make you come across as being vain and self-absorbed.Candid photos that others have taken of you can show your match your different passions, and also shows them that you have friends to take your photos.

7. Use Bumble prompts 7. Use Bumble prompts

Add a Bumble prompt to your bio to intrigue potential matches and keep them on your profile for longer. Bumble prompts are an easy way you can make your profile more interesting, and give women an easy way to start a conversation with you.

Some of the most popular Bumble prompts are two truths and a lie, after work you can find me, and perfect first date.

8. Extend your matches

If your matches expire after 24 hours, you’ll lose them from your profile and won’t be able to talk to them. Since on Bumble, women have to make the first move and send the first message, you should extend your matches whenever you can to increase your chances of getting a first message.

9. Avoid swiping on Mondays

Apparently, dating app users are the pickiest on Mondays. Mondays are already tough, so to avoid getting more left swipes than right, wait until you’ve made it past Monday before you start swiping.

This way, you’ll increase your chances of getting more right swipes and will hopefully land yourself a few more matches.

10. Don’t choose your own photos

Ideally, if you know any female friends you can ask them to go through your Bumble account and choose your profile photos for Bumble. Women understand what other women are looking for in a potential match, so you’ll get some of the best advice from other women about your profile photos.

You can use an online feedback website to see what others think of your photos or ask someone you know for their opinion. With some outside help, you’ll be able to put your best foot forward with top-notch photos on your Bumble profile.

11. Show off your hobbies and passions

Although your photos and looks are important on dating sites like Bumble, you should also show a bit of your personality on your profile as well.

Show potential matches your hobbies and passions to give them a better idea of who you are as a person. You may find connections based on shared interests, and photos that show your hobbies will open up the door for conversation too.
