For a large number of people, it obviously doesn't. If it did, there wouldn't be a market for dating apps. Tinder and Grindr each have a user base in the millions. Many people pay for dating websites like OKCupid. This was true before the pandemic, and continue to be true.

Do dating apps "work" for those people any better than real life though? I'd argue that if you are male, you need to be in the top X (20?) percent to get any success on these apps, and if you are there then you'd get just as much success in real life.

The market exists because swiping is the easy route. But that does not necessarily imply a higher rate of success.
