The hardest part of making those websites work is attracting women on it, and it's not easy. Men are natural predators. In 2008/9 I used a french website "adopt a guy" (adopte un mec). It was really disruptive because it gave women much more powers. Men can only "charm" women, and women must "adopt" men if they want to talk to them. To be honest I was really surprised, it worked so much better. Women were more confident and it showed, I was having more discussions. Granted, I had to be patient, but the experience was much better. Obviously dating websites should not treat men and women equally.

What you are saying is that not every human is created equal?

  Heh... I think it'd be more accurate to say that he feels that not every human is TREATED equally. Especially where sex and intimate relationships are concerned. When I was younger, a lot of guys wondered how so many really scummy guys could get lots and lots of beautiful women ??? I did too. After many years I've come to realize that... well... sex and intimate relationships just might work differently than polite society believes they do. There are probably entire industries built on exploiting the chasm between propriety and desire.

  Obviously not, when it comes to sex. Men pay for sex, women get paid for sex. That's all you need to know about the demand and supply dynamics in the sexual "market" (which Tinder embodies).

      Payment isn't necessarily in cash. You pay with your time, commitment, interest, attention. If there is literally anything else you could be potentially doing but are spending time with a girl with the hope of getting sex out of it then you are paying for it.

      Wow down voted for that. Maybe the majority of HN reader need to pay.

I'm not sure it's so obvious, but it does seem like a good idea to try stateside: a dating site where women get all the power.
