Living in London has its ups and downs and pitfalls. Finding new friends as an adult is another challenge in itself which should be quite easy to solve in a huge city as London, one thinks. Unfortunately this is not the case. London is very transitional and people are always coming and going so you always need to meet new people should your existing network begin to thin out. The same recurring story on many Bumble BFF profiles - my friends have moved away, all friends just had babies, all my friends moved out because of Brexit... That might make you think there are plenty of 'available potential friends' around. Yes... in theory, the practice is a bit different...
The experiences you can expect at Bumble BFF are as follows:
1. Fake profiles ... it has to be said, someone had to get this app going and that were the Bumble employees chatting to you while you find the real matches...
2. Ever wondered why people drop off the face of Earth after a chat? Look at the above point, it is also likely that the person is not really that interested or simply forgot you ever existed, you are just a photo to them at the end of the day, you thought you are a person? Think again.
3. Speaking of being a comodity - ever felt like a disposable cotton bud? Now it's your opportunity after meeting many people with various issues on the app, they will use you for whatever they can get out of you and then drop you like a used cotton pad. The boyfriend dumped them? - what better place to find a free therapy session than Bumble BFF. They are temporarily in town and need someone to entertain them for free? - Bumble BFF to the rescue. As soon as the boyfriend takes them back you will be history, you are disposable, remember?
4. Selling something? Looking for instagram followers? - Bumble BFF is full of gullible people you can feast on.
Is it possible to form real friendship and find real people on the app? I hear you ask... Is is possible to find anything real in this world anymore? Yes it is but it is very rare and hard to find nowadays and human relationships are becoming more and more fragile and disposable. There is still light at the end of the tunnel...
Conclusion: It is a great concept to be able to meet new friends on an app but as with everything you need a bit of luck and you should manage your expectations not to be disappointed. The fake profiles spoil it for everyone as not everyone realises they have been 'dropped' by a fake and they take it personally if someone disappears on them.
