Wish You Were Here! Bumble x RE/Done
We’re having a major #FlashbackFriday over the RE/DONE Sessions party we cohosted at Kola House this NYFW. Seeing Blood Orange perform was major, as was hanging with our RE/DONE crew. Is it too early to say we can’t wait for New York Fashion Week s/s 2018?

The End of Catfishing: Introducing Photo Verification
At Bumble, we are constantly working to make the way you meet people feel safer, so our team is thrilled to announce photo verification. After over year of development, we’re now ready to launch Bumble Photo Verification and put a much needed end to fake users once and for all. Bumble is the first in the U.S. in its space to launch this “catfish-killing” technology, which we will be rolling out live in app over the next 2 weeks.
Want to get verified? Here’s how:
Tap the verify button either in your profile or on another person’s badge.
You will be prompted with an example of one of 100 random photo poses by Bumble. Take a selfie mimicking that pose and send it to the Bumble administrators in the simple step-by-step verification process.
All photos are reviewed by a real person on Bumble’s team.
Within just a few minutes, you will receive confirmation or rejection of your verification.
If a user has been reported as a potential fake profile and is ALSO rejected in verification, their profile will be turned off, meaning they will see no one on Bumble and no one will see them.
If the photo is verified, the user will continue to Bumble as normal.
Our mission has always been to provide the safest possible experience for connecting with people online, and through the launch of Bumble Photo Verification we’re taking another major step in that direction. We expect to have a fully verified user base by the end of the year. So if those pretty profile pictures don't match up to your pretty real time selfie, you will get the boot! We're a real app, for real users.

WTF Do I Wear
overalls, t-shirt, sunnies, denim shorts (or these), purse (or this one), sneakers, scarf (sold out, but similar here and here)
Here at Bumble, we’re big believers in wearing what makes you feel most comfortable and confident - trends and date-night standards be damned. That said, we also are all-too familiar with that feeling of pre-Bumble date panic: having nothing to wear (even though we #literally went shopping last weekend) and group-texting our girlfriends for outfit suggestions. The thought alone makes us want a second pre-date cocktail. So, the Hive got together to talk go-to date outfits. From drinks to concerts, dinner dates to picnics, we’ll be sharing what makes us feel like #QueenBees when we meet up with our Bumble dates!
Being based in Austin and within walking distance to several amazing parks, we love an impromptu Bumble date at Zilker Park or Auditorium Shores. Normally, we’d wear workout gear, but for Bumble dates, we’ll dress up (just a little bit) with comfy overalls or denim shorts!

A Modern Horror Story
If you went to a social event but didn't take a picture, did you really even go? Yes, you totally did. And you might even be better for it. We admit it: we are all about #DoingItForTheGram, but not at the expense of posing for thirty minutes in front of the step and repeat to get juuuust the right angle, then deleting all those photos because the ones in front of the neon signs have better lighting, and totally missing out on the party. We want to take away more from the event than great pictures and a greater hangover. Because, are you really even there when you take the picture?

Bumble x NYFW
Buzzin' around New York Fashion Week was a total dream. So many thanks to young jun koo, Melodie Jeng, Lauren McGrath and Brian Green for capturing the amazing Queen and King Bees of the fashion world. Aren't they absolutely beyond cool?

Wish You Were Here! New York New York, presented by Bumble
After a full day of #NYFW, Bumble threw an intimate afterparty with New York New York at Up&Down. Bryanboy, Adam Katz Sinding and several other major fashion favorites helped us host an ultra-cool crew for music by Chase B (Weekday Warriors), Vashtie, Mike Nouveau, and Chapman, as well as a performance by Tyga. We admit: it was definitely a top-five favorite memory of Fashion Week s/s 17!

At the Hive, we prefer laid-back, low-stakes dinner dates, like exploring hole-in-the-wall Asian spots and hitting up the latest food truck. So, true to the laid-back vibe, we’ve curated several easy, unfussy versatile pieces that you will be able to put your own amazing spin on!
Bumble Success Story: Tomer & Manya
What stood out about Tomer’s profile?
Tall. Dark. Handsome. I saw his big brown eyes and it was an instant physical attraction. I also appreciated the little shit talking sarcasm in his bio which made him seem fun, even if a little cocky...
What stood out about Manya’s profile?
The fact that she was witty, pretty, that she used the word, "jousting," and was into Central Park. Overall I was attracted to her confidence.
What was Manya’s first move?
"Hi... size actually doesn't matter, although it does help." (In response to his bio which said, "Since it usually matters - 6'4."
How long did you talk before deciding to go on a date?
We waited a whopping 6 days before going on a date. We developed this witty banter right off the bat which made it hard to wait any longer.
Where did you go on your first date?
Pure Food and Wine in Gramercy Park... the same place where he proposed exactly a year after our first date.
Tomer, what emoji represents Manya?

Manya, what emoji represents Tomer?
(He insists on having two) 🇮🇱😜
We are so happy for you two! Congratulations and so much love from The Bumble Hive.

Hey There, Bad Bee
Hey there bad bee, you are a legend. And not because you're Insta-famous, or you're starting your own business, or because you made a 6 am SoulCycle class on a Sunday morning. But because you're you.
So stop being so hard yourself. Stop comparing your insides to other people's outsides. Stop wishing you were someone else. Stop trying to change who you are.
Who you are - right now, in this moment - is amazing. Who you will be - tomorrow, next week, next year - is amazing. Lean into what makes you who you are, and be excited about it. Because no one - out of the 7.4 billion other people on our little planet - is better at being you than you are. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Buzzin’ Bout
Hi there, Honey! Between tending to our honeys and general beekeeping, The Hive has been buzzin’ about a few things - and we couldn’t help but share them with you!
What’s got you buzzin’ this week? Drop us a line and let us know!
Xo,
The Bumble Hive
1. Have you seen us buzzin’ around NYFW? It’s been a blast. Make sure to keep up with us here!
2. Don’t worry, we still have a few trucker hats left at our Beetique, a la Kendall Jenner!
3. Our Bumble Honeys have been busy bees, and we are so proud of the cool ways they’ve been getting their campus buzzin’ on Bumble!
4. From designers, inventors, and dancers to activists and politicians, Refinery 29 is showcasing the young game-changers who push us to keep questioning boundaries and shaping a more equal, empathetic world. We’re pretty stoked our very own CEO & Founder, Whitney Wolfe was included in the list.
Wish You Were Here! Bumble x Chloe Chapman & Laura Enever
We had a blast hosting our #LadiesWhoLunch installment with Chloe Chapman and Laura Enever at Manly Wine in Sydney!
If you don’t know now you know: Chloe Chapman is #QueenBee founder of Aloé Swimwear and Laura Enever is an incredible professional surfer. These women are the epitome of #QueenBees - passionate, fearless and hardworking.
To say it was a pleasure brunching with them (and the other equally aaaah-mazing ladies who attended) would be an understatement!

Real Talk: Consent
Between social media, dating apps and IRL interactions it’s wild, wild dating world out there. While we’ll be the first to hop on Bumble, we know the digital components to meeting people have further complicated dating, because let’s be real: liquor and Snapchat are a dangerous combination. But even as FaceTime and Instagram Stories (or whatever the kids are into these days) take over, there’s something that has not, nor will ever change about budding or matured, casual or serious, committed or non-committed relationships: Consent.
A snapchat, a low-cut top, excessive heart emoji’s via text, a tight skirt, or rumors about her previous flings do not mean she wants to sleep with you. Laughing at your bad jokes, touching your arm at the bar, accepting a drink, holding your eye-contact or even placing her hand on your thigh does not mean she wants to sleep with you. Making the first move does not mean she wants to sleep with you.
In fact, the list of what does not constitute her consent includes every single imaginable (or unimaginable), possible (or impossible) person, place, thing, scenario, action, or act of God except for one. And that is a verbal yes.
Revolutionary, right? Wrong. It has, and always will remain, a simple yes that opens the gates to what we believe is the empowering, fun, positive act of sex. Anything else is not empowering, fun or positive. In fact, it’s not even sex.
Sex is not assumed, owed, paid for (in drinks or cash), deserved (for buying dinner or doing the dishes), earned, guaranteed or understood. You are not entitled to getting laid. If this is news to you, someone has done you a profound disservice. You have unknowingly hurt your previous partners and missed out on the powerful experience of consensual sex.
Girls, this applies to you, too. Sex is not assumed, owed, paid for, deserved, earned, guaranteed or understood. You are not obligated to sleep with him because he paid for dinner or watched The Bachelorette with you. You don’t even have to kiss him goodnight because he opened your car door. Your value doesn't come from whether or not a guy or girl wants to sleep with you. Your sexuality – and any expression of it, large or small – is your own.
But – as with anything else you have ownership of – you are responsible for it. We’ll put it this way: just communicate.
At Bumble, we are trying to change the way people communicate. But we get it, social change takes time. In this case of sexual relationships, we think about 10 seconds: the time needed to ask for consent, and the time required to give (or not give) it.

Bumble Success Story: Patrick & Taylor
Taylor, what stood out about Patrick's profile?
I got a true sense of Patrick's sense of humor from his bio, including being on the hunt for LA's best quesadilla. He looked artsy yet manly in his man-bun pictures.
Patrick, what stood out about Taylor's profile?
Taylor was a LA transplant, just like me, so we instantly had that in common. She looked beautiful and adventurous in her pictures. Specifically, she had a picture doing a handstand at the top of Enchanted Rock and another picture from her college graduation where she was heavily decorated in honors cords.
What was said on the “first move” on Bumble?
The true "first move" was when Patrick extended an additional 24 hours to Taylor. Taylor then reached out to Patrick, saying a simple hi with a smile emoji, which Patrick interpreted as really endearing. We spoke first about our mutual love of Game of Thrones and continued a playful banter from there.
How long did you talk before deciding to go on a date?
We had our first date the day after we started talking.
Where did you go on your first date?
We went to dinner in the Hollywood area then walked around, barhopping at a few places.
When did you know that Taylor was your person?
I knew that Taylor was my person by the end of the first date.
When did you know that Patrick was your person?
We just clicked after our first date, but I completely knew that Patrick was my person after the first week. On our second date, we took a mini road trip to Malibu where we climbed up some sand dunes that we sprinted down, walked on the beach, and hiked to a (barely trickling) waterfall. For our third date, Patrick took me to the planetarium show at Griffith Observatory, which was incredible. And for our forth date (all in the first week), Patrick took me to an artist's show at an eclectic art gallery.
We are so happy for you two! Congratulations and so much love from The Bumble Hive.

Wish You Were Here! Bumble x Two in a Million
We had a blast hosting another installment of our #LadiesWhoLunch with Tracy & Zoë of Two in a Million, a bee-yond chic lifestyle and fashion blog based in Sydney, Australia.
With Two in a Million, BumbleBFF hosted a small group of other #QueenBee creatives, bloggers and #GirlBosses at 55 Riley St Garage - a total Sydney hot-spot - for bubbles and small bites.
After our luncheon, we can confirm - Tracy & Zoë are definitely two in a million!

What’s in a Name? Top Names on Bumble
We present the most popular names on Bumble! That’s right, these lucky #KingBees and #QueenBees - and all of their abbreviated and spelling variations - make up 12% of the matches on Bumble and BumbleBFF. But, while honeys with these names do get more matches, we know that there's more to these users than meets the name!

Bumble Success Stories: Mya, Autumn, and Dani
Mya, what stood about Dani’s profile?
We knew each other prior to Bumble, so the interests she mentioned on her profile (beauty, fashion, shopping, music and crafting) were those we shared and connected over previously. If Bumble BFF had been around sooner, we definitely would have matched online.
Autumn, what stood out about Dani’s profile?
I loved Dani's aesthetic on Bumble and in her profile she mentioned she was interested in photography and videography. At the time I had just enrolled in night school photography classes so I thought we would have a lot in common. I also noticed her website (www.ichoseart.com) and also being interested in art, I thought we would get along great!
Autumn, what stood about Mya’s profile?
Mya’s profile had lots of artistic portraits, which definitely made her creative side stand out. In reading her profile, I also found out she loved sangria - 'nuff said.
Dani, what stood out about Mya’s profile? As Mya mentioned, we knew each other before using Bumble. Although, I have to say, once I saw that Kim Possible reference in her profile, I would have swiped right on her ASAP even if we were strangers.
Mya, what stood out about Autumn’s profile?
We had similar interests: art / creative projects, social media ...and sangria!
Dani, what stood out about Autumn’s profile?
I noticed Autumn's profile right away! I am very picky when it comes to girlfriends, even more so than when I am picking significant others. Autumn's bright and creative profile photos, as well as the words DIY, blogging and photography, caught my attention immediately. To be honest, I had to creep her on Instagram before deciding to swipe right, but I'm so glad I did and that we connected
What was your first BFF date?
We had our first Bumble BFF blind date on a road trip. We literally all met for the first time in Dani's car, heading 4 hours north of the city to Muskoka, which is cottage country. We vlogged the trip, stopped along the side of the road for photo ops and ate ice cream by the lake. There's nothing like several hours of sitting all together in a moving vehicle that can bring new friends together. We really got to know one another that day and it’s been fun planning exciting new adventures together!
What plans do you have for your next BFF date?
We are currently planning a girls trip to Miami for Art Basel in December. Palm trees, art exhibits and drinks in South Beach are the perfect mix for our creative trio. In the nearer future, we will likely meet up somewhere visually interesting on Queen St. West (Toronto), eat/Snapchat lots of food, and plan how we can take over the world.
We are so excited for you three, and can’t wait to hear about your next BFF adventure!
