If I was going to try to disrupt dating, I would look at ways to please the women on the site. The women are the limiting factor, it's important to get more of them.
I think this will look like harsher and more invasive prescreening of the men. Make an app that watches a man do 50 pressups. Work out how get the mens' financial info. Work out some AI-based test of confidence that's really hard for the man to fake.
The problem with this approach is that unfit, loser-ish men are the profit centre for these apps, so the app wants to string these guys along just enough to get money out of them. Still, it might work as a nonprofit or something.
Another angle that might work is trying to provide a credible commitment mechanism for people who want commitment. Marriage used to fulfill this, but it has its problems. A sort of "digital marriage" system that punishes people for going back on their commitments, particularly men stringing women along or women divorcing men later.
