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.
