    To say that bumble wants to help people build real relationships, would be like Marlboro saying they want their customers to live long happy lives. Let's not kid ourselves, bumble is a publicly traded company that is created to make profits.

      I'm also not sure where Bumble sits on the good-bad spectrum - but I disagree that every public company making profits is bad. It's the foundation of how our society works and we enjoy many things in life because of it. Is it perfect? -> absolutely not. But I'm quite happy I can pay a farmer to grow my food rather than grow it myself (whether I pay enough is another discussion).

    Overall an ok interview, but misses a couple major questions you would expect out of Bloomberg. With the stock down almost 80% since IPO, and Wolfe Herd herself selling millions of shares earlier this year, how does she and her team account for it all, and what are they doing about it? How do they even think about their shareholders?

    Well I guess Bumble is more of a problem than a solution. I feel since there are more options than before for people to date, they are always looking for a "better match". Ultimately leading to more breakups and mistrust among people. None of my friends who are married have found a soulmate on such apps. Instead finding matches through mutual friends seem to work better.

    Bumble is a prime example to show how women have no ability to converse
    If a man ever starts with "hi" no response
    If a woman starts with "hi" it's a default expectation to get something intriguing in the reply
    Otherwise it's a red flag, too weird, no chemistry and list goes on

  • @patrickpaterson8785

    My favorite part of Bumble was that it highlighted how unbearably awful women are at initiating an interesting conversation. Like at most one in ten matches would say anything beyond "Heyyy", with an emoji or some generic thing attached. It's literally the exact same thing that dudes do, lol.

    NOT IMPRESSED. This woman worked for Tinder, dated one of the execs, then sued the company and received a 7 figure settlement (claiming seggsual harassment after the exec called her a promiscuous woman, but in a not so nice term) which bankrolled her Bumble app which is a direct competitor of Tinder. She's not even a programmer, but was able to hire them to build her app through her lawsuit settlement funds and compete against her former employer, then became a billionaire. IF YOU OWN A BUSINESS IN THE US, be very cautious when hiring women as they can claim all kinds of BS since they need to be handled with kiddie gloves.

Imagine someone ourdays creating and app and saying men are more important loud, what will happen to him? We both need to evolve to a more equal world, even take a look at the earnings of Bumble, how much % come by men vs women? she should treat us with more respect but I can understand that she thinks this way because of her personal experiences (Tinder etc), but anyway prefer more a equal thing, but is just my opinion, great app as I said!
