Whitney Wolfe: People Want Dating Apps Where Women Can Feel In Control

Posted on February 15, 2016

Bumble whitney wolfe1TELEGRAPH.CO.UK – Feb 14 – Whitney Wolfe is 26 and she has already been at the helm of two major dating apps – Tinder, which she accused of sexism on her departure, and now Bumble. She always held back in dating. "When it came to guys I had to sit on my hands. I wasn't allowed to text them first according to my friends and society. That's really broken." She launched Bumble, a dating app where only women are allowed to make the first move. A year in, Wolfe and her team are working on ways to expand the app's influence. They're trialing a reward-system that will benefit "well behaved" users – people who have used the app consistently, interacted with their matches and never been abusive or rude.
