(There’s really no ubiquitous app for LGBTQ women, as compared to Grindr for men.)Ī Bumble BFF match compared to a standard Bumble match. It’s frustrating since queer women are already underserved in the dating/hookup app department. (Sorry ladies, but I’m not here to make friends.) Yet I keep matching with women who, it appears, are looking for female friends, rather than looking for female, well, friends. The app has binary options (dating or friend-finding), so you can’t use it simultaneously to swipe for hookups and friends.Īs a gay woman, I have my account set to display “Only Women,” so my profile on Bumble shouldn’t be shown to any women using BFF and I shouldn’t be shown theirs. Users can opt to be shown only men, only women, a combination of women and men, or they can opt for the BFF setting, which in theory shows only people of the same gender also looking for brunch buddies, drinking pals, or somebody who will see the revival of Cats with them. If you’re currently using Bumble, you have a few swiping options to choose from in settings. Happy National Best Friend Day!
