You’re on Tinder, someone writes “BMB” to you and you don’t know what is meant? Here you can read what the abbreviation means and how to use it.

That means “BMB”: Please with picture

The acronym “BMB” is a prompt on dating apps or when flirting on social media DMs. The abbreviation stands for “bitte mit Bild”, which is intended to ask chat partners to send a selfie or photo of themselves so that you know what someone looks like. For example, on Tinder, if a person doesn’t have a picture of themselves on their profile, a match with “BMB” can ask for a photo.

This is how you can use “BMB”.

Have you just met someone online who hasn’t posted a profile picture? Then you can indicate to this person with the abbreviation “BMB” that you would rather meet them if they send you a picture beforehand. Due to the anonymity on the net, it is easy to fall into the trap of scammers. But fake accounts can also fool you with a photo.

Before a real date, a photo of a match is still very helpful so that you can recognize the other person at the meeting point. Some also use “BMB” because they want to know beforehand whether the match is actually their type.

Even if you buy things used on the Internet, you can say that you would like photos of the item you want to buy by specifying “BMB”.

We have collected these examples for “BMB” for you:

• “Hey, if we want to meet up soon, BMB. I’d like to know your face beforehand.”

• “I’m interested in your Xbox. BMB so I can see how good it is.”
