Man's Bio Tweak Gets Him 9 Bumble Matches In A Day; Here's What He Did

In recent times, the use of dating apps has experienced a surge, providing convenience for individuals seeking connections. However, a significant portion of users face challenges in securing matches on these platforms. In a recent social experiment, Aman, a software developer from Delhi, sought to attract more matches on Bumble.

By making a simple adjustment in his profile, specifically by changing his height to 190 cm (approximately 6 feet 2 inches), Aman observed a remarkable increase in his Bumble matches. Sharing his experiment on X, the user disclosed that he quickly received nine matches within a day solely due to this height alteration. Despite later reverting to his original height, Aman realised that, in the realm of dating apps, humour or appearance may not be as influential as height in attracting potential matches.

For those unfamiliar, similar to Tinder, Bumble users are matched when both parties ‘swipe right’ on each other’s profiles. This reciprocal action opens the door for matched individuals to initiate conversations on the app. Meanwhile, the Delhi man who shared details about his experiment wrote, “Changed my height to 190cm on Bumble as a joke. Got 9 matches in a day. Nothing else in my profile was changed. I’ve now changed it back, but I’ve realised, you’re not ugly, you’re not poor, you’re not unfunny, you’re just short.”

Since the user shared the post, it has gone viral on the microblogging platform and garnered more than 5 lakh views.

A user asserted that, in real life, they have noticed that their shorter friend, standing at 5’5, easily attracts more romantic interest than themselves, who is 5’10.

“As someone who is actually 190, I am questioning myself now ???? Happens with me on hinge, but bumble is barren,” another person wrote.

Despite being relatively tall, a user shared that height might not be the sole factor influencing matches.

“So that just shows that India’s youth have a similar mindset as that of their parents. Recently, I got to know about someone who was asked a higher dowry since the guy was ‘compromising’ on a girl who was short,” read another comment.

In a previous report by Evie Magazine on Bumble, intriguing insights into women’s preferences regarding the height of potential male partners on the dating app were revealed. The statistics indicate that 60% of women on Bumble prefer men who are over 6 feet tall. However, this preference significantly decreases as men’s heights decrease. Only 30% of women express a desire to date men who are 5’11”, and a mere 15% are open to dating men who are 5’8″ or shorter. Surprisingly, the report highlights that a higher percentage of women are willing to date men with heights like 7 feet, rather than settling for men who fall slightly below the 6 feet mark.
