7 Things That Get Men More Matches On Bumble
Getting more matches on Bumble is simple! Verifying your photos, answering the prompts, and waiting until the last minute to use the extend feature are a few things you can do to boost your results.
Your photos and the about me section are critical for success. But going above and beyond and following the list below will get you more matches on Bumble.
1. Verify yourself.
An easy way to get more matches on Bumble is by using its photo verification. This feature allows you to confirm you look like your pictures.
By verifying yourself, women will know you're pictures are current. You're not some catfish. It's worth your time to verify your photos.
Verifying yourself is simple and takes minutes. Bumble shows you a random pose. You take a selfie mimicking the pose and send it to the Bumble photo moderation team.

Once verified, your photo gets a blue checkmark. This little blue mark can boost your results because women know you look like your photos.
Lastly, if you decide not to verify your photos, a woman may ask you at some point. Women can ask you to verify yourself in a message. They can send you a request which acts as their first move. If you don't verify yourself, the woman can choose to end the conversation.

2. Link to your Spotify and Instagram accounts.
Bumble allows you to link your Instagram and Spotify accounts. The benefit of linking your Bumble profile to these platforms is women gain more insight into you.
Linking Bumble to Spotify shows women the top artists you listen to right now. Your favorite music may create a connection with women viewing your profile.
Adding your Instagram account to your profile shows off additional pictures yourself. Photos of yourself having fun, enjoying life, offering a peek into your life can result in more right swipes.
Adding your Spotify list to your profile gives you a boost.
3. Answer three Bumble prompts.
Bumble allows you to answer up to three prompts on your profile. My advice - answer all three. Use everything Bumble offers to your advantage, including the prompts.
The purpose of the prompts is to highlight more of your personality beyond your written bio. The bonus is they act as conversation starters for women.
Bumble offers several prompts. Choose prompts that allow your personality to shine through the most. Bumble offers several prompts, so you have a lot of options.
Bumble offers you several prompts - choose wisely.
When answering prompts, avoid one or two-word answers. You want to put effort into your prompts. Fill in as much information as possible.
Avoid clichés, negativity, and sarcasm. These won't help connect to women. Humor, confidence, and creativity is the way to go.
You can share a hobby, a useless skill, a goal, or a funny philosophy. Anything is fair game. Choose the prompts that allow you to express yourself the best.
Use the prompts to showcase your personality.

4. Don't skip your profile traits.
An overlooked section on Bumble is the profile traits. These are front and center in your profile. They are critical, so don't overlook them.
Women look at your profile traits to assess if you're a match. Each trait impacts your results - some more than others. I recommend you fill in the following traits:
- Height - This is important to women.
- Drinking - Only if "never" or "socially."
- Pets - Leave blank unless you have a dog.
- What you're looking for - Women typically seek a relationship.
- Smoking - Use "never" otherwise, leave it blank.
There are traits you can leave blank. Here are the traits you can avoid:
- Politics - This is polarizing these days. I recommend leaving it blank.
- Religion - Unless this is important to you, leave it blank.
- Astrological sign - This adds no value to your profile. Keep it blank.
If politics or religion are a deal-breaker for you, then it's OK to answer them. You will get fewer matches but better matches. Women on the same page are more likely to contact you when sharing these traits. However, women who aren't on the same page will swipe left.

5. Swipe when women are most active.
Bumble found the best days to swipe are Friday's and Saturday's. This fact shouldn't come as a surprise, as people use dating apps more on the weekends.
Also, aim to use the app at 6 pm. According to Whitney Wolfe, the Bumble founder, that's the best time to connect with women.
6. Extend your daily timer at the last minute.
When you match with a woman, she has 24 hours to send you a message. If she doesn't reach out, she vanishes from your queue.
Keep an eye on your daily timer - extend when needed.
You can use the extend feature that adds an additional 24 hours to the countdown timer. Everyone gets one free extend per day. So, choose wisely.
It's a good idea to wait until the last minute to extend your match. You want to optimize this setting. It's important to wait until it's about to expire.
7. Consider a premium membership.
You can do well on Bumble using the free membership. However, you might want to consider upgrading to the premium membership because it helps your results.
The main benefit of the premium membership is these features:
- Access to your beeline (the hidden likes).
- Backtrack feature that allows you to undo a swipe left.
- Rematch with women - keeps expired matches in your queue.
- You get unlimited daily swipes.
- Can use the extend feature for all your matches.
Access to everything above can improve your results on Bumble. Think about it; you're not limited to daily swipes, can rematch with women whose time expires, and get more than one daily extend feature.
The odds are you will do better on Bumble using the premium membership. The key is, do you want to pay the cost of the premium membership?
The premium membership gives you unlimited daily swipes.
