Well, let me tell you somethin’ about these newfangled dating things, Bumble and Hinge. They’re like two peas in a pod, but one’s got a little more sass, ya know?
Bumble vs Hinge
This Bumble, it’s like the wild child. Got all sorts of folks on there, young’uns just startin’ out, and some older folks too, all the way to, I reckon, 40 or so. Hinge, though, that’s like the more grown-up one. Seems like it’s mostly for the ones in their mid-twenties and up. Makes sense, they’re more settled, I guess.
Now, I hear tell that on this Hinge thing, you get more folks talkin’ to each other after they “match,” whatever that means. Sounds like a good thing to me. Gotta have a conversation to get to know someone, right? This Bumble, though, word is it’s startin’ to be more like that Tinder thing. And you know what they say about Tinder… nothin’ good, that’s for sure.
What’s the difference?
- Bumble, the gal has to start the talkin’. Then the fella, he’s got a whole day, 24 hours, to say somethin’ back or the whole thing goes poof!
- Hinge, anybody can say somethin’ to anybody. Don’t matter who likes who first, you can just say “howdy” right off the bat.
So on Bumble, the women, they gotta make the first move. Like askin’ a fella to dance, I suppose. And then he’s got 24 hours, a whole day, to answer back before the whole thing disappears. Hinge, though, it’s different. Anyone can say whatever they want to anyone else. Don’t matter who likes who first. You can just say “hey” or “howdy” whenever you feel like it.
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout somethin’ called “Hinge X.” Sounds fancy, don’t it? But one young lady said it ain’t worth the money. Said she’d rather spend her money on a, well, somethin’ else that makes her happy. I won’t go into details, but you get the picture. Hinge is popular, though, lot of people are using it, so it has to be okay right?
Which one is better?
Now, they say Hinge is for folks lookin’ for somethin’ serious, somethin’ that’ll last. They got these long things you gotta fill out, tellin’ all about yourself, and they say these Hinge profiles help to get you long term relationship. Bumble, it’s got a whole bunch of people on it. Some young girls just havin’ a look and others just foolin’ around.
They say you can use this Hinge thing for free. Don’t gotta pay a dime. But they got some fancy stuff you can pay for if you want. Most folks say the free one works just fine, though. No need to spend your hard-earned money unless you really want to, I guess.
Hinge is all about findin’ someone to settle down with, someone to share your life with. They got these long things you gotta fill out, tellin’ all about yourself. Bumble profiles are short, like a quick “hello.” Hinge got these other things too, where you can show what you like and don’t like. Makes it easier to find someone who likes the same things you do, I reckon.
Are these dating apps any good?
These young folks today, they’re all about these dating apps. Back in my day, you just met someone at the church social or the county fair. Simple as that. But times change, I suppose.
I don’t know much about these things, but it seems like Hinge is the better one if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ real. Bumble, it might be okay for a little fun, but I wouldn’t put too much stock in it, if you know what I mean.
Some folks say you can find a good man on these things. I reckon it’s possible. But you gotta be careful. There’s all sorts of folks out there, and not all of ’em are good, honest people. Just like in real life, I suppose.
If you’re gonna try one of these things, I’d say go with Hinge. It’s like plantin’ seeds in good soil. Might take a little longer to grow, but it’ll be worth it in the end. Bumble is like throwin’ seeds on the wind. Might get lucky, might not. Just be careful, that’s all I’m sayin’. And don’t give out your personal information to anyone you don’t know. There’s some strange folks out there.
Hinge and Bumble, they are trying to do the same, to get you a partner. But Hinge is better for finding the right person, I think.
You gotta be smart about these things. Don’t let these young whippersnappers fool you. Just use your common sense, and you’ll be alright. And remember, there’s nothin’ wrong with meetin’ someone the old-fashioned way. Might be a little harder these days, but it’s still possible. Just keep your eyes open, and your heart too.
