As a seasoned Bumble vet, I have to say that I have seen my fair share of total douchebags on the app. You have the gym selfie dude, the guy with a baby in the pic that makes sure to mention in his bio that it’s ‘not his kid,’ and my favorite: the guy who blurs out the faces of his ex in all of his pics. But lo and behold, a lucky gal named Ashley came across this fuckboy named Connor below and sent the conversation to Bumble, who posted the screenshots along with an open letter to their blog. I am all for public shaming, especially when a dude is just plain asking for it. Sweet little Connor was actually banned from the app because of these screenshots, so let’s break this shit down.
Classic first line from Ashley, she is just trying to start the conversation. She mentions work, typical, and then asks about his job. It is all downhill from there.
First of all, a girl isn’t asking about your job to “pry into your career” we are simply just trying to make sure that YOU HAVE A JOB.
Of course he “didn’t ask her about work” because he probably does not care. Shocker that finding out what someone does for a living is, in fact, a way to get to know him or her. If I asked this question and a guy replied that he manages an Abercrombie and Fitch, I’m out. If a dude replies that he’s an “entrepreneur” (code for “unemployed”), I’m out. Asking these questions are simply a way for a girl to know if a guy is somewhat normal and/or employed. She did nothing wrong.
Love that he thinks his job is important enough that girls have “shamelessly attempted to pry into his career.” Like, what does this guy do? The only way I would be shameless trying to pry into his career is if he said he was a Whataburger franchise owner and I was looking to score some free taquitos. Let’s be real Connor, no one gives a fuck about your boring job.
I honestly know so little about jobs that are not in my field that I would have no idea what his salary range would be based on a simple job title. Unless he’s telling me that he’s a damn neurosurgeon, I am going to assume we are in or around the same income bracket.
“I put my job in my profile.” Cool but like, she was asking what you actually do. Most Bumble-ites have a very, very vague job description like “Finance” or they just list their employer. Poor Ashley had no idea what his deal was career-wise and fuck this guy for calling her shameless and unintelligent. IT WAS ONE QUESTION.
Low-key super disappointed that Ashley did not include her response to this maniac. I do love that she called this a tantrum, though. You go, Ashley.
“I don’t have time for entitled, gold-digging whores” WOW Connor. Just go right in for calling her a whore. Stand. Up. Guy. Any Bumblebee would be lucky to have you!
Ok. How DARE he bring Beyoncé into this. What did she do to you Connor? Did you cheat on your girlfriend and she listened to Lemonade and then dumped you and that’s why you are on Bumble? Leave Bey out of this.
Also used the words “feminist cancer” and I just….is he doing the Trump thing or what the fuck is up?
Last but not least, as we all expected, he throws out his “salary” and no one asked. No one cares. You care, Connor. You are the only one. Girls love when a guy brags about how much money he makes and how prestigious his degree is. Panties just drop.
Just kidding, someone kick this guys ass. Please..

Dude 100% is not tucking away 300k a year.
If he was he wouldn’t be on bumble or give a fuck if she was a gold digger.
Sup, Ashley?
Conor probably makes under 50K, spends too much time at strip clubs by himself, and had been told “it’s okay, it happens to lots of guys,” on multiple occasions.
It does happen to a lot I’ve guys. Trust me, plenty of girls have told me.
I’ve only met a handful of Connors in my life that weren’t douche bags
I was gonna say, I definitely know someone named connor who I could see being this much of a tool box.
Connor probably works equities in Dallas for a bottom tier given his safety school “finance” degree.
“Hey!” – Dallas Equity Guys
Solid “Liar’s Poker” reference here.
You’re toeing a fine line shit talking Dallas on this website.
Love the equities in Dallas reference. Made that joke at the office once and nobody understood what the hell I was saying.
Notre Dame $300k Finance degree an oxymoron. You don’t make that coming out ND unless you knock over a bank!
Most people in the United States won’t ever earn 300k/year, Notre Dame or not, you’re living comfortably even in the more expensive cities at that pay grade haha
While Notre Dame graduates can be insufferable you can not knock a degree from there. Notre Dame has floated between the number one and two undergrad business school for years. 300k is still pretty absurd tho unless you are a front office hedge fund guy in which case it’s very possible.
I will bet my $40,000 account manager salary & state university degree that this dude is related to Chad from the Bachelorette
This guy acts like he’s Batman or something.
“You can never know what I do. But it’s super important and you would be impressed if you knew.”
He drives a sports car just to prove
he’s a real big baller cause he made a million dollars but he spent it on porn and lube
Hate to bust up into the misogynist apologist club, but some might say being called a whore and a gold digger is pretty damn offensive. And by “some” I mean pretty much anyone with a modicum of decency. Let’s not forget that all she did was try to start a conversation with him. Not sure what you guys would deem “all that offensive” but it’s probably illegal in Canada and most Scandinavian countries.
I didn’t say what he said wasn’t offensive. I said a ban seems excessive.
banning a user of a dating app for being abusive toward another user actually isn’t “excessive,” it’s appropriate. This is an app that is designed to facilitate in person meet ups and this guy is verbally abusive out the gate, seemingly unprovoked.
He didn’t drop any of that until after her response that she cut off. Who knows what ya girl said to him that she didn’t bother to include. Regardless, a stranger on the Internet said something mean. Unmatch them and move on with your day.
