Knowing a few Bumble tips for guys can really help to get the most out of the online dating platform. As a guy using Bumble, you might feel like you\u2019re at an automatic disadvantage. Without the power to message women until they reach out to you first, you may feel like you’re faced with extra work when it comes to standing out from the crowd. But don\u2019t let that discourage you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, you can\u2019t send the first message. but there\u2019s a lot you can do to stand out. Below, we’ve put together a few of our top Bumble tips for guys to help you towards better matches, convos, and easy first dates<\/a> in no time<\/span>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 Bumble Tips for Guys to Keep In Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Have really, really good photos<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, really. A guy’s Bumble profile<\/a> should have great pictures. And while everybody knows that\u2019s the number one rule of online dating, there are still so many men who don\u2019t actually follow it. Don\u2019t use pictures of your cat, group photos, or a picture of yourself chugging a beer from 10 years ago. Use nice pictures of your face, period.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Don\u2019t have any good photos? Take some new ones<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not suggesting you have to hire a photographer to take professional headshots, because you don\u2019t want it to look like you\u2019re trying <\/span>too<\/span><\/i> hard. But if you\u2019re having a difficult time finding good recent photos, look for opportunities to get better ones. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next time you\u2019re out, ask a friend to take your picture. It\u2019s nothing to be embarrassed about, but if they give you a hard time, you can always say it\u2019s for work.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Put your best photo first<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot riding on your first photo in particular. (No pressure!) The reality is, your first photo might be your only chance to make an impression. Choose one that shows your best self.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Put thought into your other pictures, too<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once she\u2019s seen a few pictures of your face, it\u2019s okay to get creative\u2014within reason, of course. You still shouldn\u2019t post a picture of your dog, but you CAN post a picture of you posing WITH your dog. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any cool hobbies or hidden talents, you can display those photos, too. Basically, show off something that\u2019s worth messaging you about.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Spend time writing an attention-grabbing bio<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, this is online dating 101\u2014and yet so many people disregard it. If your bio says \u201cMessage me if you want to get to know me,\u201d guess what? She\u2019s not going to message you. You may only have limited characters, but you can still use them to pique her interest. The best Bumble bios<\/a> will give her something that\u2019s worth messaging you about.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Ask a fun question in your bio<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though you can\u2019t send the first message, asking a fun or unique question is a secret way in. Would you rather have breakfast for dinner or dessert for breakfast? What was your best AIM away message<\/a>? Asking a question makes it easy for her to start a conversation. If it\u2019s a really good one, she\u2019ll be compelled to message you with a response.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Take it seriously<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not getting better matches or more messages from the types of women you want to date, take a step back and examine your profile with a critical eye. If you were a woman looking for a date, would <\/span>you<\/span><\/i> date you? Even if you think you\u2019re taking it seriously, you might come off as someone who isn\u2019t. Being sincere will get you very far.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t think you\u2019re getting the most out of your online dating experience, these Bumble tips for guys can make all the difference. They\u2019re easy changes you can make today that can help lead to better matches and longer conversations<\/a> right away.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
