Hello, my single friends. In case you haven’t heard, Bumble just released new prompts to their profile offerings to help users connect with each other better. If you’d like to learn more about this and see some real-life examples of people who are doing a good job with their responses, click here.
If you’re looking to stand out from the competition and are ready to create your own prompt responses, I’ve got some fun ideas for you. Keep reading to learn more.
Ideas To Help You Craft Your Bumble Prompt Responses
When crafting creative ideas for your Bumble prompt responses, try using games like Cards Against Humanity to brainstorm funny ideas that set you apart from other guys. You can also use other games to spark your creativity likeWho’s Most Likely To… and Bad People.
You can even steal funny one-liners from TV shows. Back when I was single, I used to borrow lines from sitcoms like Modern Family to spice up my profile. The likelihood of someone reading my bio and knowing that I’d borrowed ideas from somewhere else was low. And if I’d been caught, it would have been by a person who was super compatible with me anyway. The person reading it would have also had to have watched the show and remembered the line.
Funny Bumble Prompt Answers
Many of the ideas below were inspired by the card game “Who’s Most Likely To…”. You don’t have to use them word-for-word but often, just reading through a few funny cards will spark an entertaining and imaginative response. Creativity and humor always set a man apart from his fellow competitors.
Being that funny prompt answers are the way to go let’s kick things off by serving up some pretty funny Bumble prompt answers.
- Don’t forget the sunscreen when we spend entire days lounging on the beach drinking whatever seltzer is most trendy
- don’t forget to pick up fresh spaghetti on your way home from work so I can make us carbonara
- get to know me as well as Google does
- sing nostalgic emo-rock songs from middle school with me at least once a month (aka my love language)
- listen to me more than Alexa does
- He’s cool. But not like too cool. Not like, o wow see that guy over there, he’s too cool for school. Nah. He went to school actually, Michigan actually, but I don’t judge.
- If love were blind you’d never be able to see Matt in his The Office Spinkles cat t-shirt and crocs. Hmm, maybe it should be blind.
- He’s the kind of guy you can take home to Mom, then find it alarming how quickly they bond over herb gardens and Doton Abbey.
- One time he drove an hour in a snowstorm because my snowman was missing a carrot nose. So yeah I guess he’s okay.
- new socks… when you hit a certain age, your priorities just shift.
- pumpkin spice season… yes I’m a basic bitch
- the whitest possible activity on earth… paying farmers to pick their apples then going home to bake a pie.
- free samples – what’s that? You want to walk around Costco and try all the free stuff on a first date? Baby I’m a member, let’s ride.
- my symptoms on WebMD. Maybe excited isn’t the right word, more like anxious about my impending death.
A Word Of Caution – Avoid Using Random Responses That Have Nothing To Do With You
I’d recommend not just using random responses because they’re funny or ironic or weird. It’s more about taking the funny ideas you find and tweaking them to fit you. For instance, if you see something that you like below, but it doesn’t describe something relevant to you, think about how you can tweak it so that it’s still funny, witty, or amusing, but also revealing and authentic.
For example, no girl wants to read that for work you are a couch potato, or that you would like to reenact Noah’s Ark for absolutely no logical reason. Random responses don’t tell her anything about you, and so you don’t end up attracting compatible women, and you get swiped left on a lot more.
Sarcasm Reveals Nothing – It’s A Defense Mechanism
My first profile during my 100- date experiment was so sarcastic that it revealed nothing about me. I got called out on it too, and because I was doing a research experiment, I was receptive to the criticism and optimized it.
But when I had the sarcastic and defensive profile up, all I attracted was sarcastic and defensive men who were mean. Do yourself a favor, get creative with your responses and bios. Use funny examples to spark your imagination and craft a response that’s unique to you but that also employs the entertaining framework you learned about here, or on a sitcom, or from a standup comedian’s sketch.
With all this said, let’s get on to some of the best prompt response examples for guys. Below you’ll see a screenshot cut-out with an example prompt response that you can use. Underneath the screenshot, you’ll see additional bullet-point examples that I’ve created for you to copy/paste OR you may revise them to show/describe a bit more about yourself.
So without any further foreplay, let’s reveal the wittiest/funny Bumble prompt answers.

Bumble Advanced Tricks & Algorithm Hacks
As I was collecting the research for this article, I noticed something interesting. As I swiped left on everyone (didn’t want to lead them on), I saw that I got rematched with one guy’s profile who I had already reviewed that same day.
And I remember it well because he had this great response to one of the prompts and I’d taken a screenshot of it for this article. What was fascinating, though, was that I’d swiped left only hours before and had then gotten rematched with him again that same day.
When I looked a second time at his profile, I realized that it had been updated and had even funnier responses to the prompts upon a second look. Aha! This may be a critical insight into Bumble’s proprietary algorithm.
Update Your Profile Regularly To Get Higher Quality Matches
Based on this experience, I have a hunch that when you update your profile, whether it’s your photos, responses to prompts, or edits to your bio, it triggers you to get a second chance with all of the women who swiped left previously.
And it makes sense too because women may be more inclined to swipe right on you when you add different photos and different text. A woman who previously swiped left might also be more likely to respond to a specific prompt that is more relevant to her interests. That said, it’s a good idea to update your profile regularly. A good rule of thumb is to change up your prompt once a week or every other week to keep your matches fresh.
If you update your photos occasionally as well, then you have an even better chance at scoring new matches with high-quality women. Let’s say, for instance, that you get new, high-quality photos and you look way hotter than before. Wouldn’t it only be fair for the ladies to have another shot at seeing you, mainly because they might be more inclined to swipe right upon a second look? Chances are they wouldn’t even remember that they’d seen you before.
It’s In Bumble’s Best Interest To Keep Users Engaged
It makes sense to me, and it makes sense for Bumble because they want users to have success. If their users fail to make connections, get matches, and go on dates, then the perceived quality of their app goes down, and people eventually stop using it.
Why The Quality Of Your Bumble Matches Might Have Gone Down
You might even notice that when you first joined Bumble, you had a lot more matches and that those matches were much higher quality. Well if my hunch is right, that’s because you exhausted your list of potential matches and after about two weeks, probably hit the bottom of the barrel.
Sure you might get the occasional new user who just joined and is super high quality, but more often than not, you’ll probably keep getting slop. Sorry to be frank but I think it’s true.
Let’s See If It’s True
So I added this to the bottom of the article because if everybody starts figuring it out, the algorithm might update and make this little discovery less exciting. But if you’re still reading, I’d love to know if this strategy works for you.Send me an email and let me know at [emailprotected].
Where To Get The Best Bumble Hacks
There it is.
The funniest Bumble prompt responses, the wittiest Bumble responses, and the kind of Bumble responses that are bound to score you matches.
But getting a match is only a part of the journey towards everlasting love (or whatever else you’re looking for).
In my program, Dating Decoded, we’ve designed every aspect of our course to target each phase of the modern romantic journey.
First and foremost there’s MegaDating.
MegaDating is all about filling up your social calendar with highly compatible women. It’s a proactive approach to dating that involves going out with multiple women a week. We teach men how to do this because it’s simply the best way to find the best partner. Most men only work with a small sample size of potential partners. We teach them how to date prolifically thus exposing them to more women, more personalities, and increasing the odds of finding a super compatible partner.
Not to mention MegaDating also:
- Boost confidence
- Refines dating skills
- Helps you refrain from settling
- Is super fun!
But how are you supposed to meet all these women?
That’s where profile creation comes into play.
If you’re reading this article you probably already know that online dating is the most popular way we meet our romantic partners nowadays. If you’re serious about finding the best possible partner for you, you’ll have to download an app or two. The thing is, they’re super competitive.
Like 9 men for every 1 woman competitive (referencing Tinder here).
We’ll walk you through profile creation so you take and upload high-performing photos. We’ll also provide you with a bio template you can follow to write an amazing bio. As for the prompt responses, well, as you can see we’ve got you covered.
Now that you’ve matched, you’ll need to message with style. The MegaMessaging segment of our program teaches you how to quickly build enough attraction via the app to transition the dynamic from one confined by a screen to the real world. We also show you how to artfully use a TDL to pitch a first date (time, date, and location).
Lastly, it’s all about the date.
Our dating blueprint will walk you through the first three dates.
Why the first three?
The first three dates are the most precarious.
One misused word, misplaced hand, or bad date pitch could suffocate the flame you had worked so hard to keep alight.
We’ll show you how to plan a kick-ass date, the rules of the first three dates, how to create chemistry, and much more.
Dating Decoded is designed to show men that have been on the romantic sidelines for far too long how to take the dating scene by storm.
We teach you these skills via:
- Online Curriculum
- Mock Dates
- Weekly Strategy Sessions
- Online Community
But does our program actually work?
Just ask our alums.
But how many potential partners do our students end up dating?
I’d love to learn more about where you are in your romantic life and what you want your romantic future to look like.
Let’s talk via a 1-on-1 session so I can learn more about what you’re looking for and expand on our dating program, Dating Decoded.
