Singapore – As Singapore prepares to host its most electrifying event of the year – the adrenaline-pumping night race – Bumble, the women-first dating app, is introducing an exciting new feature: the Motorsports Badge. This latest addition allows motorsport lovers to rev up their dating profiles and connect with fellow enthusiasts who share the same passion for fast cars, roaring engines, and thrilling races.
The Motorsports Badge is a new way for Bumble users to showcase their love for the sport and seek out like-minded individuals. With motorsports fever sweeping through Singapore this season, it’s a perfect opportunity for singles to find a potential partner with similar interests. According to a survey conducted by Bumble, 61% of users in Singapore already feature a sports-related badge on their profiles. This trend highlights the growing appeal of connecting through shared passions.
The Intersection of Sports and Romance
The timing couldn’t be better. Singapore’s annual night race is set to attract over 250,000 spectators, making it the ideal setting for couples to bond over their mutual love of motorsport. In fact, Bumble’s recent survey revealed that nearly half of Singaporeans (43%) enjoy watching sporting events with their partners. Furthermore, 35% believe that attending or watching sports together makes for an excellent date, fostering deeper connections through shared experiences.
More than two-thirds (66%) of respondents expressed that watching a race or sporting event can reveal much about a person’s personality – particularly how they react to the highs and lows of competition. This season, sports isn’t just about entertainment; it’s an avenue for forming stronger, more meaningful relationships.
Top Bumble Tips for Revving Up Your Love Life This Race Season
