IMPACT – Amelia Brookes from Impact Magazine shares her experiences of using Bumble BFF. Bumble BFF asks users to write a bio, put a little information about themselves, answer one or two questions and talk about demographics they are in (religion, drinking and smoking preferences, etc). Then they start swiping – right for yes I would like to be your friend, left for you're probably great, it's just that I don't think we have enough in common. There aren't half as many people on BFF as they are on Bumble. There seems to be a 90/10 women to men split, with mostly women showing up looking to make friends. One thing Amelia noticed was that it can be quite difficult to find friendship matches, and they can take days to reply. The problem with friendship apps is that they aren't as well-known or widely advertised on the market.

People Should Be Playing More Games While Dating
ELITE DAILY – The popularity of dating games has been a long time coming. Dating experts and entrepreneurs alike think that it's time to start planning some play dates. In Apr '20, Bumble launched its in-app Question Game, which allows matches to ask and share personal questions and answers with each other. Then, in Sep '20, Serena Kerrigan, founder of Let's F*cking Date, released her first expletive-filled card game (and sold out twice within 24 hours). She's since launched two more decks: Let's F*cking F*ck and Let's F*cking Play. Lox Club, a members-only dating app for people with "ridiculously high standards," entered the game field in May 2022 with Date Mode, their first in-app game, designed to be played on first dates. These games can open up communication in a really effective way. "Icebreakers like LFD cards give a sense of structure, which most people are open to receiving for better dating experiences," Maria Avgitidis, matchmaker at Agape Match and host of the Ask a Matchmaker podcast, says.
