From no longer tolerating BS to the men that get it.
Bumble dating app releases its 2025 dating trend report, “Hot-Takes.”

More specifically, approximately 72% of global users reported that they were seeking a “long-term partner in the next year. However, the level of tolerance has shifted, with 66% of British women saying they are being more honest with themselves and no longer making compromises.”
