Bengaluru airport magic? Man gets 100+ Bumble matches in minutes, internet asks how, his dating app tips go viral

Can you really get over 100 matches on a dating app in just 10 minutes? That’s exactly what an X user named Ankit has claimed, and social media is absolutely stunned.

What Did He Say?

Ankit shared a screenshot of his dating app matches on X, showing a whopping 111 matches in just a few minutes of swiping at Bengaluru airport. Covering the profile pictures with symbols, he wrote:


"10 minutes of bored swiping at Bangalore airport is all you need."

The post quickly went viral, racking up over two lakh views in a single day. Some people were impressed, others were sceptical, and many just wanted to know his secret.

"I Sold Bumble Mentorship for Rs 8 Lakh"

One curious user asked Ankit to share his profile, to which he responded:

"At a certain point in my life, I made Rs 8 lakh selling mentorship for Bumble. The bottom line is—it's not about how you look but what you look like. I am 5'9" and probably not very handsome."

This only added to the mystery. Is there really a trick to getting more matches?

The Internet Reacts

Social media users were both amused and shocked:

• "111 matches? Is that even possible?"
• "I need to see what your profile looks like."
• "My brain can't fathom a man getting this many likes!"

But Ankit wasn’t done yet. Seeing the flood of comments, he decided to share his dating app strategy.

How to Get More Matches – Ankit’s Tips

According to Ankit, getting 100+ matches per hour is “pretty reasonable” if you know what you're doing. Some of his students, he claims, get six to seven times that number. Here’s what he suggests:


1. Don't swipe. Buy premium. Swipe only on people who swipe on you. This keeps your likelihood to match (elo) as 100%
2. Pictures with horses are nice. Dogs are out of fashion. I do equestrian so that helps
3. In general getting clicked where everyone is getting clicked is a bad idea. Cultural context and sustainable sources of attention are more suitable. If you're in Bangalore, pictures from Europe work. If you're in Europe pictures from Bangalore work.
4. Your bio comes last. But your profession and college come first. Be creative there.
5. No dark pics. Light= rich. Dark = poor. Red= anger. Green = rich. Blue = business. Use colours. Basic colour theory always helps
6. Use pictures that don't display excessive emotions. Too happy = immature, too passive = dark, too gym bro= insecure. Opeeate against heuristics
7. Your competition isn't good looking People. It's people who look just as good as you. You can only punch over your weight so much. No amount of presentation will get Bappi Lahri his Deepika Padukone.
8. Don't try to look good. (as in appear like a good person). Look like you are downplaying yourself. I mean a lot of people really sell themselves
9. Don't use boost
10. Set dates fast. Don't focus on outcomes focus on interactions. Build a story and set your profile up for that story for ex have a bio that makes her ask you out. (eg- my last Bumble date was/ I am actually a/ I don't go out on Tuesdays because/ etc)
