Coming up with a perfect Bumble bio for men is easier said than done. According to a study on online dating published by the Pew Research Center, 54% of women confessed to being "overwhelmed by the number of messages" they get, whereas 64% of men said they feel "insecure because of the lack of messages they received."
Considering that Bumble is different from apps like Tinder because women have to make the first move and bios are limited to 300 characters, that fact matters even more. But should men just throw in the towel? Or should they continue to fight for the perfect match by improving their Bumble bios?
Desperation won't get you anywhere, so it's time to roll up our sleeves, see what women like (and don't like) about Bumble profiles for men, and check out some bio examples that will surely hit the mark!
Bumble Profiles For Men: What Women Have to Say About It
When asked what they value on a Bumble bio, female Redditors were open about their online dating pet hates and provided some valuable insights for men. According to our research, the big no-nos usually revolve around one of two things: male insecurity and inexperience.
Male insecurity shows through what, statistically speaking, the Bumble bio women hate the most: sharing your height followed by something like "apparently that matters here."
Bumble's most-hated bio doesn't do well with the ladies because it portrays guys as both disgruntled and self-conscious—they're not sharing their height because they want to, but because they feel like that's what apparently matters to women.
Male inexperience, on the other hand, shows in different ways, like when guys write bios that simply repeat info from their Bumble prompts, or when they copy-paste jokes they have found online (which shows a lack of creativity). The same goes for men who think cheesy pick-up lines will get them somewhere.
What NOT to Include in Bumble Bios For Men
- Your height: While it's probably a good idea to list your height on Bumble, the bio is not the place to do it.
- Your insecurities: Have women hurt your self-esteem before? That can happen a lot, but this doesn't mean you have to complain about it, especially in your Bumble bio! As one female Redditor has put it, "I would avoid anything that makes you sound bitter about dating."
- Your hate for Bumble: Women hate the Bumble bio "This app sucks," and they're 100% right—all it does is show that you're bad at online dating and resentful about it…
- Your lack of creativity: There is a reason why "Just ask!" is among the worst Bumble bios; it doesn't say anything about you, and it may portray you as either lazy or utterly unimaginative.
- Other people: Just like a picture with your ex doesn't make for a good dating profile photo, a Bumble bio focusing on other people (like your children) can push some women away. Focus on who you are, not how you relate to other people.
Tips For Making Great Bumble Bios For Men
- Be positive: When online dating gets frustrating, keep on looking on the bright side of life instead of giving away to the negativity.
- Be yourself: Women only like 4 out of every 100 dating profiles, so you'll never please everybody with your Bumble bio. Telling you to be yourself may sound like a clichè, but it's the best Bumble tip you'll ever get.
- Ask others about what makes you special: Your best friends and family may have some cool insights about your personality that you wouldn't even consider to start with, so ask around for help when writing your Bumble bio.
- Avoid fluff: Bumble bios can only have 300 characters, so don't waste them by repeating info people can find elsewhere in your profile. Also, please don't feel obligated to write all 300 characters unless you actually have something to say.
- Put your Bumble bio up to the test: To know if your new Bumble bio works, just give it a spin and see how it affects your match ratio. In case it doesn't work out, change it to something different.
As a final note that's not exactly related to Bumble bios, do your best to include high-quality photos of yourself on your profile, as these are adamant for women. If you run into trouble, our guide to taking better photos can help, and so does our AI photo enhancer.
25 Examples of Great Bumble Bios For Men
The best Bumble bios for guys are different from Bumble bios for girls, but they follow the same general rules. They're generally positive, short but informative, charming, and either seductive or funny (or both).
A great Bumble bio for men should also be original, so try to use the following examples as guidelines instead of just copying them. I have divided them into five categories:
Simple and Straightforward
- "I'm here for the real deal."
- "My love language? Quality time and acts of service."
- "Fluent in English, Spanish, and sarcasm."
- "Just looking for someone who can laugh at my weird jokes."
- "Life's too short, so let's skip the small talk."
Funny and Playful
- "Half surfer, half coder, 100% into you."
- "Looking for someone to enjoy pizza night with—every night!"
- "I'm a real catch, at least according to my mom…"
- "I'm not a science expert, but I think we have some chemistry."
- "Are you into fireworks? Because I'm starting to feel the spark."
Smart and Witty
- "All I want is to be the reason you delete this app."
- "Currently accepting applications for the love of my life."
- "Now that I have your attention, all that's left is your heart…"
- "I'm not a fortune teller, but I envision that I will make you happy."
- "Me and fine wine are the same—better with time and perfect for a dinner date."
Flirty and Confident
- "If you bring the spark, I'll bring the fire."
- "Warning: There's a 75% chance you'll fall in love…"
- "Most men are mistakes, but I will be the best decision you will ever make."
- "I will surely make you laugh, but let's aim for something more…"
- "My only addiction? Making women feel good!"
Daring and Inviting
- "Tell me about your best date ever and I will tell you how I'll top it."
- "I spend way too much time on my phone; wanna make me forget about it?"
- "Make me a playlist, and I will make you laugh."
- "Say hey and I will tell you a secret."
- "Feeling adventurous? Let's cross something crazy off your bucket list!"
