I'm sympathetic but I disagree they're a failed idea. Far from perfect, but I know plenty of folks with appearance imperfections that have had great success on dating sites -- some now married to their matches, with kids! Anecdotally, the most successful (in terms of turn around, partners, matches, dates, etc.) male I know is overweight, has poor hygiene, and is somewhat misogynistic. Conversely, I know perfectly handsome men who could be models who strike out all the time. Sure, good looking people might get more matches, but do they universally convert at a higher rate? No. If anything, they spend more time interacting with these apps in a less productive manner.

Did the successful one flaunt some status symbol in his pictures or bio?

> If anything, they spend more time interacting with these apps in a less productive manner. Only because their standards are set higher due to needing to filter the incoming stream of matches to a manageable drip of first dates. In the end, their outcome is better. Just like you would interact on LinkedIn 'in a less productive manner' being a rockstar developer @FAANG..
