  > and is showing strong growth mainly because the product is better and more respectful of girls than Tinder. Precisely. Bumble got popular because Tinder was not successful in helping connect people for meaningful relationships. Tinder works exceptionally well for keeping you engaged, and for a subset of users, good at fostering some sort of connection. As you are aware, Bumble's only innovation over tinder was requiring women to initiate the first message after matching. In their S1 filings, note they do not list any sort of relationship based metrics, rather all usage based. They are not in the business of helping people find love. As other products come on the market, users will eventually migrate away to services that are vested in creating long term partnerships. In my opinion, dating apps still have not solved the fundamental problem for straight couples--for a majority of women, they are overwhelmed, and for men they are lost in a sea of choices. But...that said, I have two dates this weekend from Hinge. Highly recommend Hinge over Bumble.
