Bumble has a lot of professionals and will actually want to meet within a few messages back and forth. Tinder is a lot of people that "hate drama", ie they crave it. I have met quite a few very pleasant people but we just mutually realized "not for me" after a date or two. We wished each other luck and parted ways. In the case of bumble in my experience there is an emotional maturity and interesting people. But apparently you are required to have a photo at Machu Picchu.

That gives me a great idea for a profitable new business: a website where you upload some photos of yourself, and it photoshops them onto a background of Machu Picchu so it looks like you went there for vacation, and can use this on dating apps. I agree, it does seem ridiculous: here in the DC area, it does seem that every single professional woman over 30 has such a photo.

    Why do you say that? I haven't seen a lot of photos like that on womens' profiles; in fact, I don't think I've seen any. But strangely, I actually have a photo just like that on my profile! It was taken at the NYC Natural History museum. For women's profiles, the stereotypical photos are: 1) Macchu Picchu 2) at a bar with an alcoholic drink in-hand, frequently looking drunk 3) at a beach 4) in bed, cuddling with a big smelly dog 5) at a gun range These are pretty typical of 30+ white women in the DC area, though they're never seen all in the same profile (the women who like guns don't go to Macchu Picchu). Also, you say that in your experience on Bumble, women are more emotionally mature. In my experience there, I'd say there seem to be more professional women there, but if you're not a big bar-goer and drinker, you're not going to do well there, at least in this city. Also, the women there seem to be almost all white and black; all the Asians seem to be on CMB, which is where I get the vast majority of my dates.
