Bumble


'''Bumble''' is a [[Online dating|dating app]] created in 2014 by Whitney Wolfe Herd, a former [[Tinder]] employee. The app was founded following a dispute she had where she alleged that one of the company's co-founders (and her ex [[boyfriend]]), Justin Mateen, had [[Sexual harassment|sexually harassed]] her. Due to her perceived mistreatment, she aimed to make her company as "pro-[[Femoid|woman]]" as possible, the app has been described by many as a "[[Feminism|feminist]] dating app".

Bumble functions much like Tinder, but unlike Tinder, it is openly [[Gynocentrism|gynocentric]] in the way it operates, if a match is made, the woman needs to initiate a conversation within 24 hours, or else the match will be deleted. this functionality was added so that women can choose to only have conversations with the [[men]] they want. The app has many other features that only benefit women, reflecting the gynocentric worldview of the founder. On a more positive note, only ~65.5% (2/3) of Bumble's userbase is male, a comparatively more favorable ratio than Tinder's ~75.8% (3/4), this is likely a result of Bumble's unfavorable system which discourages many men from installing the app.


It should go without saying, but Bumble is obviously not recommended for [[incel]] or [[nearcel]] men.
