For example, you&rsquo;re probably wondering &lsquo;Is Bumble just a hookup app?&rsquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with most modern dating apps, it&rsquo;s more complicated than just a yes or no answer. Us millennials are pretty complex, you know, and Gen Z even more so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, the <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/4737036\/dating-feminist-advice-bumble-founder-whitney-wolfe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">feminist-founded company<\/a>&nbsp;would never brand itself as a hookup dating site provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/how-does-bumble-work\">Bumble<\/a> is for making connections &ndash; some of them might last a longer time than others, but they all matter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, it&rsquo;s generally pretty accepted that all free dating apps (or <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/best-dating-apps-2020\">dating apps with good free options<\/a>) tend to be more on the casual side while sites you have to pay for are more specifically serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I&rsquo;m saying is, you can definitely find hookups on Bumble if that&rsquo;s what you&rsquo;re after but it&rsquo;s certainly not designed just for that purpose. And if what you&rsquo;re looking for is just hookups? Then be honest about it for goodness sake.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App.png\" alt=\"Is Bumble Just A Hookup App - Bumble App\" class=\"wp-image-17300\" width=\"675\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App.png 900w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App-600x309.png 600w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App-150x77.png 150w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App-768x395.png 768w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App-480x247.png 480w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App-510x262.png 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20675%20347'%3E%3Crect%20width='675'%20height='347'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Is Bumble Just A Hookup App - Bumble App\" class=\"wp-image-17300 eager-load\" width=\"675\" height=\"347\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" loading=\"eager\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App.png 900w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App-600x309.png 600w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App-150x77.png 150w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App-768x395.png 768w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App-480x247.png 480w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-App-510x262.png 510w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Of course, sometimes that&rsquo;s just what happens &ndash; you go on a date, they&rsquo;re great, you laugh, you drink, you hookup&hellip; and then you don&rsquo;t do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But looking for purely hookups without advertising that&rsquo;s what you&rsquo;re doing is&hellip; well&hellip; kinda problematic. Especially on Bumble for goodness sake, it&rsquo;s designed with the safety, comfort and autonomy of women in mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, get your feminist ally hat on and practice that emotional honesty!

Then you realize you use apps to find love, sex, food, you probably even found your job online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, why not just complete the set of human needs and find friendship through an app too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did that sound depressing? It wasn&rsquo;t supposed to. Bumble BFFs is a pretty fun concept, and it can be really helpful in a new place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also be helpful when all your friends only want to drink and play cornhole, and you have tickets to see a big retrospective at an art gallery. Or you know, vice versa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the only issues with Bumble BFFs is that it only allows same-sex connections. They claim this is to stop misuse of the feature, but given that queerness and mixed-gender friendships exist plus there&rsquo;s a perfectly good dating version of the site it does feel like a misstep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Bumble Bizz. This is another Bumble mode, this time for professional networking. It&rsquo;s open to both men and women but there is a women-only filter for businesses and recruiters who want to find a woman to fill a role.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections.png\" alt=\"Is Bumble Just A Hookup App - Bumble Bizz for connections\" class=\"wp-image-17302\" width=\"675\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections.png 900w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections-600x309.png 600w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections-150x77.png 150w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections-768x395.png 768w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections-480x247.png 480w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections-510x262.png 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections.png\" alt=\"Is Bumble Just A Hookup App - Bumble Bizz for connections\" class=\"wp-image-17302 lazyload\" width=\"675\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections.png 900w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections-600x309.png 600w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections-150x77.png 150w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections-768x395.png 768w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections-480x247.png 480w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections-510x262.png 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-Bumble-Bizz-for-connections.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Bumble A Good Hookup App?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be confusing to keep track of what app is good for what sort of dating &ndash; especially if you&rsquo;ve been out of the game for a while.

Bumble, like many modern dating apps, is a many and varied thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bumble can be good for pretty much whatever you&rsquo;re looking for, so it definitely can be a place to find a serious relationship if that&rsquo;s what you&rsquo;re after.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Bumble has done quite a bit to encourage somewhat deeper connections on their app. They provide ice breakers, and a &lsquo;your turn&rsquo; feature to nudge matches when they&rsquo;re being unhelpful in the conversation game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the company is doing a lot to specifically stop itself from being labeled a hookup app and promote the idea that users are looking for love.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-ice-breaker-question.png\" alt=\"Is Bumble Just A Hookup App - ice breaker question\" class=\"wp-image-17306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-ice-breaker-question.png 280w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-ice-breaker-question-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-ice-breaker-question-148x150.png 148w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-ice-breaker-question.png\" alt=\"Is Bumble Just A Hookup App - ice breaker question\" class=\"wp-image-17306 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-ice-breaker-question.png 280w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-ice-breaker-question-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-ice-breaker-question-148x150.png 148w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Is-Bumble-Just-A-Hookup-App-ice-breaker-question.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-8\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Their own survey found that 85% of users are looking for a serious relationship. To be fair, Bumble emerged as a salve for apps like Tinder that were brutally hookup-focused, and whether you&rsquo;re looking for something serious and long-term or fun and short term the app definitely feels calmer and more authentic than any app I know just built for hookups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s a perfectly decent place to look for serious relationships, but if you want to widen your pool and sign up for a few more apps then check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/best-dating-apps-for-relationships\">nine best dating apps for relationships<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the conclusion on Bumble? It can pretty much be whatever you want it to be! Well, within reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get too niche with your desires you&rsquo;re always going to have to find the correct corner of the internet (like, Doctor Who fans who only date other Doctor Who fans, or those men who marry cars&hellip;) but if you&rsquo;re looking for love, friendship, or fun, honest hookups then Bumble has you covered!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"exclusive-offers\">\n        <h2>Dude Hack Exclusive Offers<\/h2>\n\n        <ul class=\"exclusive-offers__grid\">\n            <li class=\"exclusive-offers__grid-item\">\n           \n                <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/click-9128028-10880594?sid=exclusive-offer\"><!-- link Serious relationship? -->\n\n                    <p>Serious relationship?<\/p>\n                    <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/untitled-1_325.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/untitled-1_325.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-9\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\">\n                    <span>Get Free Trial<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n           <li class=\"exclusive-offers__grid-item\">\n\n                <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/tinder-hacked-free\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><!-- link Tinder Hacked -->\n\n                    <p>Tinder<\/p><p> Hacked<\/p>\n                    <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Untitled-design-3.png\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Untitled-design-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-10\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\">\n                    <span>Get Free Ebook<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"exclusive-offers__grid-item\">\n\n                <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/best-dating-app-quiz\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><!-- link Best Dating App? -->\n\n                    <p>Best Dating<\/p><p> App?<\/p>\n                    <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/DATING_APP_ICON_CONSOLIDATED-min.png\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/DATING_APP_ICON_CONSOLIDATED-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-11\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\">\n                    <span>Take Our Quiz<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n\n           \n        <\/ul>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&rsquo;re new to dating apps or have been off the scene for a while, you might be asking yourself about the different apps and the purposes they serve.
