Best Bumble prompt answers in 2024

Bumble is one of the most popular dating apps available today. With many users on the app, there are countless potential matches available as long as you set up a good Bumble profile and make the most of its features.

Bumble's mechanics are similar to Tinder. Setting up a bumble account is a simple process of uploading photos and filling out a short Bumble bio.

Next, you swipe through profiles, right for the ones you like, and left for the ones you don't.

Where Bumble is different from Tinder and other dating apps is once there's been a match, or mutual like, only women can send the first message. Not only that but there's a 24-hour countdown. If she doesn't message within that timeframe, the match expires.

Because women send the first messages, guys need to make sure they stand out. Getting more messages means getting more dates!

Like the dating app Hinge, Bumble has introduced prompts to help you share more of your personality and get higher quality matches. If you want to see the specification for Hinge, just checkout our article about the best Hinge prompt answers.

To make the most of these prompts, focus on hobbies and interests you'd like to find in a potential match.

While Bumble isn't transparent about how their algorithm works it's likely that one of the tools it uses is matching keywords between profiles.

The big trick on any dating app is not just getting a match, but getting a conversation started. This is doubly true with Bumble because the women need to message first. So you need to make it as easy as possible for her to think of something to say by filling your Bumble profile with conversation starters. And Bumble prompts are a great way to do this.

One of the great things about this added feature is that they're a return to being able to show who you are through words. For a while, dating apps were all about who had the best pics, or who knew better than to make their main image a group photo.

These days, dating profiles based on words are making a comeback, which is good news for people who don't want all of their dating prospects to rely on their Bumble photo.

Bumble has more than 40 prompts for you to choose from, so be sure to look at a lot of options before you decide which ones to choose. You're only allowed to have 3 prompts at once so choose wisely!

According to Bumble, here's how to add prompts:

1. Tap on the gray silhouette in the bottom left corner

2. Tap on “Edit Profile” underneath your profile picture

3. Tap on “Add a question”

   
   

The good news is, you can change your mind about which prompts to display, or what answer to give, at any time. Just tap the "X" and make your desired changes.

The point of your answers is to get responses, here are some Bumble hacks to help with that.

Be specific

Like writing any part of a dating profile, a good prompt answer is specific. Don't just say that you love music, instead share some of your favorite bands or mention the last concert you went to see. Specific answers help your profile stand out and give her specific facts about you to respond to.

Include conversation starters

Online dating isn't just about getting matches, but about getting messages. That means you need to inspire responses from your ideal woman whenever possible. One great way to get a response is to ask a question. It's human nature to want to share opinions.

Write the kind of answer best suited for you

There's no point trying to be someone you're not online. Eventually, you need to show up to the date as yourself. So write the kind of answers that show you at your best.

Do you have a great sense of humor? Then write funny answers.

Are you soft-hearted? Focus on heartwarming answers.

If your smarts are your best feature, then the best Bumble answer for you is one that shows how clever and interesting you are.

I quote too much from…

Here's a great chance to find more matches who enjoy the same things you do. If you want to take a risk, you can try an obscure reference here. While it may fly over most people's heads, it'll resonate with the right people.

Never have I ever…

If you want to be a bit risque, this is a great opportunity to go that route, the way the original party game intended. Try something like, "... had a threesome." And see if anyone bites! Just keep in mind that this method can turn off anyone who isn't looking for more casual adventures.

The quickest way to my heart is…

This is a great prompt because it allows for anything from a heartwarming answer to something light and playful. You could use this as an opportunity to make sure your match enjoys the same TV shows as you. Try something like, "If your idea of a good second date is binge-watching Ted Lasso."

Swipe right if...

Why not incorporate some details from your dating life? This can be a great chance to get the kind of date you're looking for, in a lighthearted way. Try something like, "You're willing to split the check." Or, to go the other way entirely, "You believe chivalry isn't dead and will let drinks be on me."

If I could have only three things on a deserted island...

This is a great prompt for including your specific likes. You could list your three favorite books, or maybe a music player and your two top albums.

If you want to focus on funny Bumble answers, this question has the potential for comedy gold. You could even start a debate on whether the cast of "Gilligan's Island" counts as one item.
