Well, there ARE a number of issues: - the emphasis is predominantly based on looks and sex appeal. - people can take an awfully good looking photo - you are more confident online. You can be a person other than who you really are. With a damn good photo and the mask of the internet, you can be a dream come true. - solid, loving relationships are based on attachment, bonding and openness. The above factors set off a relationship to a start contrary to that. That and I think a lot of women face quite a bit of harassment on these sites or at least used to. That can reduce trust in the platform and perhaps increase the occurrence of the factors above.

  Disgraceful. I think solving that problem is one huge step a dating site can make. Though, the old technical solutions to social problems thing comes up. Perhaps one step is a write up of what you wish to get out of the service. Over time, find patterns with those write ups and that behaviour. Interrsring problem.
