On a recent episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, the lovable talk show host played matchmaker for a sweet single named Julie. Known for her ability to make people laugh and spread kindness, Ellen teamed up with Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of the popular dating app Bumble, to help Julie find love. During the segment, Ellen and Whitney discussed Julie’s dating preferences and gave her some much-needed profile makeover tips.
At 51 years old, Julie was in a bit of a dating rut. She felt like she didn’t quite fit into the older or younger dating scenes. Ellen empathized with Julie’s struggle, as she herself had been asking celebrities “Who’d They Rather” for years. With their combined matchmaking experience, Ellen and Whitney were determined to help Julie find her perfect match.
Starting with Julie’s Bumble profile, Ellen snapped a photo of Julie looking absolutely amazing. They took a closer look at Julie’s conversations with potential matches and discovered that she had 21 guys in her match queue. Impressed by her popularity, Ellen urged Julie to have fun and be herself.
One of Julie’s matches named James caught Ellen’s attention. He happened to be a pilot, which meant he could meet Julie as she traveled for work. Excited by the possibility, Ellen suggested a playful opening line. However, when Julie tried to send it, she was met with an unexpected obstacle. Bumble’s cool to be kind policy didn’t allow explicit language, much to Ellen’s surprise and amusement.
Undeterred by the mishap, Ellen and Julie continued to explore her other matches. They came across Braden, an adventurous man who valued spontaneity and freethinking. Ellen saw potential in him and encouraged Julie to strike up a conversation by mentioning their shared interests. With a growing list of potential suitors, Julie was starting to feel the pressure of making connections.
As the segment progressed, Ellen and Julie delved into the profiles of more matches, including Jeff, Cameron, and Roman, who happened to be on a horse in his profile picture. They discussed Roman’s mention of “sex positivity,” a term used on Bumble to indicate a desire for a more sexually open relationship. Ellen and Julie had a good laugh discussing their interpretation of the term.
Ellen and Whitney expressed their confidence in Julie’s ability to find love, giving her tips and encouraging her to stay positive. With her newfound inspiration, Julie was ready to brave the Bumble dating world with Ellen’s blessing. Moments after the show aired, Julie received a heartwarming response from one of her matches, exclaiming, “Wow, I’m in love!” Ellen, Julie, and the entire audience rejoiced in this promising start to Julie’s dating journey.
If you’re also on the quest for love or just want some entertaining dating tips, head over to Bumble and see what surprises await you. With a little help from Ellen and the Bumble team, who knows? You might just find your perfect match too. Good luck and happy swiping!
