it would work better if it was "women swipe first'. men can look at and swipe the women who swiped them already. this solves two problems:

  1. women are not seen by anyone they don't want to be
  2. men don't need to spend hours swiping hundreds of women

please give me 1 million dollars

Facebook dating kinda has this where you get notified if someone likes you Ironically it works better than any other dating app. The whole swipe til you both match deal is just to keep people paying and using the app for longer

Now if Facebook Dating would increase it's freaking character limit for profile bios, it'd be perfect. But nooooo...

This means men will see many fewer women on the platform in many cases.

it means men would not spend hours on the app, which means nobody would ever do this

Exactly, Im 50 and Im not rich or particularly good looking. If I was straight I might only see 5 or 6 women on the app that would match with me to begin with and if those didn't become anything I'd be done with that app. It can't work

i am the most attractive sexy man in my entire giant city of 23 million people but i still have to swipe 50 girls to get 1 match and i might not even be that interested in her. better to meet girls in real life and follow them around on the tube and insert myself into their personal space 🚀
