Whitney Wolfe Herd

"I run a dating site, but I will gladly tell someone, 'Do not date someone if it's not right.' And don't settle. This settling thing is insane. I've literally had to force friends out of relationships because they want to be married by a certain age, so they just date these guys that are not right for them."

"I think we are the first feminist or first attempt at a feminist dating app."

"I was tired of a system where women waited around for men to send them a message or ask them out. With Bumble - first a dating app, now a social network that helps you make empowering connections in love, life, and business - women had to make the first move, or the match was void."

"I've thought long and hard about this, and I think a lot of the dysfunction around dating has to do with men having the control."

"Never before has a major professional sports team partnered in this way with a female-driven brand like Bumble. It's an honor to partner with an organization as progressive and compassionate as the Clippers. Like us, they know generating awareness for diversity and gender equality is critical to business success."

"Saks helps to empower women through how they look and feel - and Bumble wants to give all women a platform to connect with other empowered women, whether that's in dating, friendship, or business."

"There were dozens of dating apps when Bumble came on the scene, but they weren't able to attract critical mass in a young professional group."

"There's nothing wrong with taking yourself out of the dating pool. You don't need to be in a relationship because that's what society expects of you or because your grandmother thinks you need to be married by a certain date. Those days are over. Instead, take a step back and say, 'I'm OK alone.'"

"When you're setting up your dating profile, choose the photos according to who you are today. A variety of recent shots that are a true representation of your character."
