If the author if this app happens to read this, can you perhaps explain the thought process behind creating this app? Are you expecting thousands of women to flock to try their luck matching with a developer (a male dominated industry)? If you're looking to develop another dating app perhaps look for ways to address the problems with existing ones. Here are a few examples: Horrible male to female ratio. Men swipe at everything, women are incredibly picky. F*boys. Female safety fears. Catfishing. Scams. Superficial decision making in matching. Ghosting. Lack of reputation building and tracking in the app. Crappy profiles. Old outdated pictures. Lack of actually wanting to meet. My humble suggestion: Pivot and come up with something unique that makes online dating a notch better than it currently is.

Some of this can be fixed with technology - but men swiping on everyone, women being picky, and other ancient habits are probably not on that list. What you’re after is more than likely much closer to a traditionally arranged communion (dating, marriage, whatever). The filters, pre selection, etc, would be in place by design. As we all know, that isn’t going to fly at all. You’d get your head cut off (in Minecraft) if you suggested this to women today as a viable means of pairing with men. What you’re looking at now is what happens when we take the facade of civilization, society, some concept of fairness etc in the “dating marketplace” and the filters away, and we show humans as they are. Their wants, needs, desires, desperations. And if things look bleak to you, I assure you, it’s not because of technology and it’s not something technology will fix.
