If you’re having no luck and have zero matches on Bumble, don’t lose hope just yet. There are many reasons that could be the reason you’re not getting likes on the dating app, and there are simple steps you can take to fix the problem. Here are the top reasons why you're not getting many Bumble matches:

1. Your profile isn’t filled out properly

Whether you’ve left your bio blank, don’t have many photos up, or have left other details empty – your profile isn’t complete which hinders how many people see it. Dating sites like Bumble rely on your profile information and without it, you'll struggle to find matches on Bumble. Your profile won’t be shown to relevant users and this limits how many matches you get. Fill out and complete your profile to get the first step of enhancing your profile done.

Ever wished you had someone to review your profile and provide valuable insights? You're not alone! Luckily, ROAST has the perfect solution for you. Take this quick 2-minute quiz and discover how ROAST’s profile review service can be the ultimate game changer you've been searching for!

2. You have too many selfies

If your Bumble profile is full of selfies, they may be the reason why you’re struggling to get likes on the app. Having too many selfies will make you look conceited and full of yourself, which most women won’t find attractive. Selfies are also boring and don’t show potential matches or anything intriguing while giving off the vibe you're avoiding serious relationships. Instead, delete your selfies and choose interesting and fun photos that someone else has taken of you.

3. All of your photos are group photos

When you only have group photos up on your Bumble profile, women won’t be able to tell which one you are, and are less likely to swipe right on you. Your profile picture should be a photo of just yourself, followed by a few friend photos if you’d like. Remember, group photos are hard to get right. If you’re not confident that you’re the most attractive person in the photo, don’t post it!

4. Your photos don’t show your face clearly

Your first profile photo should be a clear photo of you so that your match can see what you look like. Bumble users want to see you, so don’t hide your face! Ditch the hat, sunglasses, and group photos for your first photo so that your match isn’t confused. Smiling in your profile photo is a proven tactic to make you appear more confident, attractive, and inviting.

5. Your bio is bland and vague

Your Bumble bio is like your first impression after your profile picture. It needs to be interesting and catch the interest of potential matches. Stay away from a bland or too serious bio and opt for something more fun. Bumble prompts are a great starting point and work as amazing icebreakers.

Your bio should also tell women more about who you are. If it doesn’t, potential matches will be less trusting of you and won’t swipe right on your profile.

6. Your settings aren’t configured right

Your settings could be what’s preventing you from getting more likes on Bumble. On the app, you can choose two filters to help you find the most relevant users in your area. You can also expand your distance and age range to increase the number of profiles you reach which can get you more Bumble matches.

If your settings are set to showing verified profiles only, you're limiting yourself to viewing only verified profiles and ignoring other Bumble users. To get more matches on Bumble, use your filters to expand your horizons.

7. You’re too picky

By being picky with who you swipe right on, you could be limiting the number of matches you get without knowing it. Don’t just swipe right on the absolute best profiles you come across on the app! Having an open mind and swiping right on more profiles will increase your chances of getting more matches on Bumble. You never know - you could find meaningful connections and serious relationships in people you would have otherwise swiped left on.

You may be wondering if the reason you have no likes on Bumble is that you’ve been shadowbanned. We understand your frustration – getting no matches on Bumble can make you start to question Bumble’s algorithm. Fortunately, being shadowbanned is rarely the case on dating apps like Bumble.

1. Get your profile picture right

Nailing your profile picture is 80% of the job. If you get your profile picture right, most of the job is done, and you can focus on talking to your match and getting yourself a date. Here are a few tips on how to nail your profile picture:

• Use a clear, portrait photo– A portrait photo will show your match exactly how you look and leave no illusions. High-resolution photos are a great way to elevate your photo game on the app.

  
  

• Delete the group photos – if you have too many group photos, a woman won’t know who you are and swipe left on you, so it’s best to avoid them altogether.

  
  

• Show your face – avoid photos of you wearing a hat, sunglasses, or anything else that can cover up your face.

  
  

• Smile – Photos of you smiling will make you more attractive, inviting, and confident, which are all qualities women are looking for on the app!

2. Niche Down

Don’t try to please everyone by posting photos that attract every type of woman. First, start by defining what type of woman you want to attract, and then curate a profile that will attract her.  If you're looking for serious relationships only, show that through your profile so your potential match knows who you are and what you're looking for.

3. Show your passions and hobbies

Use fun photos that show you doing your hobby or passion. Women will love that there's more to you and that you have fun hobbies and passions you can share with them. Whether you love sports, hiking, or fishing- show off your passions and hobbies.

4. Use Bumble prompts

Bumble bios can be tricky to write, especially if you've never done it before or don't know how to express yourself in words. Bumble prompts open the door for fun and exciting conversations with matches, so make sure to use them in your bio.

5. Be Active

The more active you are on Bumble, the more profiles you’ll be able to access – which instantly will increase your chances of getting more likes. You don’t want to swipe too much, or Bumble might limit your swipes. There's no specific limit on how many swipes you get daily, but don't swipe too much as your profile might get limited for 24 hours.

6. Be open-minded

If you’re too picky with your settings and filters, you could be missing out on many amazing women without even knowing it. Set your filters with an open-mind. Keep your distance radius large to reach more people, and increase your age range to get more matches.

7. Don't leave anything blank

Most Bumble users who come across an empty Bumble profile will consider it to be a catfish and swipe left on it. Your online dating profile should assure potential matches you're a real person and should show them a glimpse into who you are.

8. Connect your social media accounts

Let potential connections see more of your personality by connecting your social media accounts to your profile. Social media platforms like Instagram and Spotify allow women to see more of your interests, and can also help you start a conversation about common and shared interests.

9. Try Bumble Boost or Bumble Premium Services

It might be worth it to invest in Bumble Boost or Bumble Premium, even if you never thought to pay for the app. f you've run out of free likes on the free version, give Bumble premium a shot for unlimited swipes. A Premium feature that can help you land more matches is the ability to extend time with your expired matches.

10. Send the first message

Don't be shy and send the first message to your matches. This will show women that you're confident and not afraid to take the lead. Some of your matches may just be shy and need some help starting the conversation.

Need a boost of confidence before sending that message? Let ROAST's expert profile review give you the assurance you need to strike up engaging conversations. Take this quick 2-minute quiz today to get started!
