The problem with dating (both in person and in apps) is that you have this period of bullshit during early interactions. It's worse with dating apps, since you can have old/fake/not representative pictures (as opposed to being overly made up in a dark environment) and it's easier to spin a web of lies when you're not being interrogated face to face. Dating apps are also too much work, it'd be nice if they were fun. My ideal dating app would just let me record short video questions/statements with a filter that makes them somewhat homogenous (no duck face/angle play, background replaced with something generic, etc), then let other people respond with their own similar videos, and an algorithm would order responses based on my past swiping history. This would make it sort of like a tiktok-esque video chat app for single people. If the video questions/responses were ephemeral That would eliminate a lot of the fakeness as well, unless you wanted to get made up for glamour videos every day.
