Thanks for clarifying! So let me rephrase this to ascertain I understood you correctly: Your algorithm is basically "swipe 'NO!' upon all the non-very-beautiful people to get yourself put into the 'very beautiful people' bin by Tinder and then hope that it eventually shows you to people in that bin", right? If yes, that's funny, because that's what I would do anyway without even wanting to game the system: I think it is a rude waste of people's time if you date them even though you don't think they're attractive :) Prevents them from meeting someone who actually does.

The frequency of matches can be so low that people begin to swipe YES on almost all matches, hoping to see who bites. On an app like Tinder, it inadvertently or intentionally makes that easy to rationalize. This is A strategy, but it practically ensures being in the less attractive bin and never even shown to people in the other bins. Regarding rude waste of time, people adjust their standards, just like in the physical world.
