I'm a pretty private person. I live in Texas, and I like my small network.Collection: Whitney

It's an epidemic. Instead of socialising and having proper conversations, we're staring at pictures of models in bikinis and wondering how they look like that. It's like self-loathing.Collection: Whitney
We are becoming so fickle and self involved. Always looking for the next best thing - especially when it comes to people. We spend hours buried in our phones trying to keep up with the social lives of people we may not even know. Envy and the fear of missing out have taken over. Yet we are all still longing for human connection.Collection: Whitney
After graduating in International Relations in 2011, I turned down safe, corporate job offers and instead accepted a position at an 'incubator' in L.A. - a tech word for a team of people who are funded by investors to create apps. I knew the future was digital and that I had to take a risk.Collection: Whitney
I worked all day, every day. I thought about Tinder in the shower and dreamed about it at night. It wasn't just my job - it was my life.Collection: Whitney
I have so many girlfriends who are powerhouses: They have big careers, are fearless in traveling in third-world countries or a launching non-profit. But they won't text a guy for fear of being perceived as desperate. That is broken.Collection: Whitney
I guarantee that if you threw 100 people into a room, the first three questions they would ask each other are: 'Where did you grow up?,' 'Where did you go to school?' and 'What do you do for a living?' Most people on Bumble are looking for a life partner, and those things have a huge impact on compatibility.Collection: Whitney
Who asks who out on the date? Who's supposed to pay for dinner? Who chooses where you go? Both partners should be involved in these discussions. If we want to be treated as equals, don't put yourself in a position where you set yourself up to not be equal.Collection: Whitney
One of the biggest things I tell women is not to lose themselves in a relationship. If you're willing to alter yourself to find somebody, it'll never work.Collection: Whitney
If you truly want to find a meaningful relationship, you've got to find yourself first and learn to be confident in your own skin. Don't sacrifice anything about who you are to be with someone. That's setting yourself up for failure.Collection: Whitney
There is no better way to create a confident and meaningful connection with someone than to be self-assured and true to yourself. Remember, you want someone to truly appreciate you for you, not for your best side. There is only one you. Be proud of that and own it.Collection: Whitney
We have all been there: we see that gorgeous person across the room, and we want to go and speak to them so badly. However, the 'rules' of society mean we usually don't end up doing it, despite our friends' best efforts to convince us to. Time for a change. Be empowered and say hi! It's proven that people really like it when you take initiative.Collection: Whitney
I realized that there's a big world, and really, the only way you can make a critical impact on something greater than your own little world is through technology.Collection: Whitney
I think that a big shame of how women are approached in business is they're oftentimes looked to for perspective and not implementation.Collection: Whitney
My biggest struggle being a woman in the workforce has not only been with my mother, my grandmother, and a lot of my girlfriends. When I'm working late hours, I'm almost punished for it by them. It's almost absurd that I would prioritize work over catching up with my girlfriends. If I were a man, that would just come second nature.Collection: Whitney
If we want to create change, we all have to be feminists - men, women, everyone needs to acknowledge that. Sometimes I have more in common with the man than I do the woman in the room.Collection: Whitney

I just don't harbor resentment toward anything or anywhere or anyone - I'm too busy.Collection: Whitney
I always wanted to have a scenario where the guy didn't have my number, but I had his. What if women make the first move, send the first message? And if they don't, the match disappears after 24 hours, like in Cinderella, the pumpkin and the carriage? It'd be symbolic of a Sadie Hawkins dance - going after it, girls ask first.Collection: Whitney
From its conception, I wanted Bumble's culture to match its values. If women were taking charge on our app, then they'd be running the show behind the scenes, too.Collection: Whitney
Candidly, I've noticed that throughout my career, whether in offices that are majority male or majority female, the men are quick to advocate for themselves for a higher starting salary or more pay bumps over time.Collection: Whitney
When women fight for a higher salary, they can often feel guilty. When men fight for more pay, they feel empowered. I've always wanted to encourage women to go after the money they deserve.Collection: Whitney
I believe in taking people away from their desks and making them feel collaborative and inspire one another instead of being siloed.Collection: Whitney
If you're doing anything disruptive, and if you know it to be good and true and progressive, let the naysayers fuel you to work harder and go faster and sleep less.Collection: Whitney
I actually don't think about Tinder.Collection: Whitney
We will always put our values before our bottom line.Collection: Whitney
I'm obsessed with Topo Chico.Collection: Whitney
I don't know why the leaders of social networks have overlooked the idea of rules. Real-life behavior is becoming more reflective of social media instead of vice versa, and that's a dangerous thing.Collection: Whitney

If I could police every other social platform in the world, I would.Collection: Whitney
The dynamic of how women and men are meant to interact, for those of us who are looking for a heterosexual relationship, is very broken, and it leads to a lot of really dysfunctional relationships, abusive and otherwise.Collection: Whitney
As we all know, sexism in the workplace is a serious issue. It's something that needs active disruption and change.Collection: Whitney
Networking is extremely masculine. It's a vulnerable thing to admit to, but even I experience feeling super insecure around certain masculine meetings. So, we put women in control. Women will make the first move on Bumble Bizz as well.Collection: Whitney
Often, the best jobs come out of just meeting people and letting one thing lead to another.Collection: Whitney
I'd read a lot about the psychology around rejection and insecurity, and I had noticed that when people feel insecure or rejected, they behave aggressively, erratically. Especially when you can hide behind a screen name or a profile picture.Collection: Whitney
Everyone deals with trauma differently, and recovery is always a work in progress. But courage is contagious, and the more that people stand up and speak out against misogyny, the faster we can create the kind of world where we won't have to.Collection: Whitney
I'm so tired of this notion that women only need to support women. Why can't we all support each other?Collection: Whitney
I've run into women who can be highly problematic, detrimental, and mean, just like I've seen that in men.Collection: Whitney
I was 24 when I was embroiled in a high-profile lawsuit. This was 2014, long before, en masse and on social media, we said #MeToo and #TimesUp. At the time, I felt completely alone. Visceral, hateful online harassment from strangers left me paranoid and anxious for years afterward.Collection: Whitney
Companies must put infrastructure in place to support their female employees and ensure that they receive the benefits of male and female leadership.Collection: Whitney
The implication that women are poised to make unfounded accusations in droves is even more alarming when every piece of data on false reporting contradicts that false notion. We need to believe women and believe in women.Collection: Whitney
I think, traditionally, power is perceived as something that belongs to men and is an excuse to behave in a disempowered way.Collection: Whitney
So many entrepreneurs approach me and say, 'I want to start the next big thing,' and I say, 'Well, what are you solving?' And oftentimes they say, 'Oh, I'm not sure. I want to start something big.' You can never start something big without solving something small, right?Collection: Whitney
I didn't really understand the concept of feminism until the media started to talk about it surrounding my name.Collection: Whitney
I had to live through being a woman who thought men always had a one-up... I knew I didn't like it. I thought that's how it was.Collection: Whitney
You know what I will do sometimes? I'll let my phone die... and I will say, 'You know what, I'm not lying, my phone died.'Collection: Whitney
