Everyone has that ONE sign they're deathly allergic to.
Bumble users appreciate the app's ladies first approach to online dating. They're also appreciating one of Bumble's newest additions, a feature that allows you to filter out matches by star sign. Yes, that's right. Scorpios everywhere are shaking following the late 2018 addition to the popular dating app.
The realisation that you can now filter your Bumble matches by star sign has been a relief for a lot of people.
A friend just informed me you can now finally filter boys on Bumble by star sign and honestly it’s made my year pic.twitter.com/TOZowsV3kv

When I meet someone new, we always have to get at least three minutes of general astrology chit chat out of the way. It's just the law.

My brain:
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Me: So what's your sign??
And some folks already knew which signs would be on the chopping block.
Everyone has that one star sign they're deathly allergic to.
Bumble is good because you can filter by zodiac sign so I don’t have to see or be seen by Leos

I heard about bumble allowing you to block people if they have a certain star sign and tbh that's fine cuz I haven't met a single scorpio who didn't end up being a sociopath. I have horror stories of my past with them that I don't have the strength to date one.

Of course, this now creates the possibility of people potentially lying about their star sign.
Bumble really put zodiac signs in profiles.....dudes really gonna be lying about their star signs now too

Not everyone is into the whole idea, though. "Hey, bumble, now you implemented the zodiac signs, will you also implement an option to filter out people who believe in zodiac? Because YIKES," wrote one Twitter user.
Obviously, it's all in good fun and people shouldn't live and die by a potential partner's star sign. Besides, 2019 is the year we're going full natal charts. We're not just asking their star sign, we need their time and location of birth to get the real tea!
