Dating sites are a stupid idea in the first place. Your system or algorithm cannot ever hope to compete with 30 seconds of face to face interaction, ideally with that first meeting occurring by way of mutual friends.
Sorry, but building a better dating web site is trying to drive a nail with a screw driver. People who need help dating need a larger and more active social circle. They don't need a dating website. Anyone trying to sell a dating site will inevitably discover they're hawking snake oil and surrender to that reality.
- neilk 18y agoActually, that's a pretty good idea. A site with no fancy profiles, just some really light filtering for age and location, and then a parade of people you can video chat with for 30 seconds. As the 30 seconds winds down, both partners have to press a big "greenlight" button to continue chatting. This might be like skydiving for some people but I bet it would ultimately make them more confident. And it could be sort of addicting -- if you hate this guy/girl, just wait a few seconds.
