Women absolutely would participate on a platform that is free to use and has a high enough barrier to entry that they can select out all the scrubs and they can freely get what they're after without all the mess. Have you seen online dating today? It's a dumpster for both men and women. Men get a better shot at what they want for a higher fee, women get access to men they'd actually want to meet with.
- men who can't afford that are already scratching the bottom of the barrel on dating sites and feeling like total losers because they have no prospects they're happy with
- most people would show you a picture of their butthole as long as they knew it would be kept confidential if that meant they'd have a better shot at finding what they're after
- information source aggregation, analogous to meeting people in more places than the singles bar
- wasting peoples time is an undesirable trait
- youre using an app to find sex and/or love, the interface changes nothing about this
- the last two are the same as number 2, just analytics for the algorithm.
When you're designing an algorithmic solution to mate pairing, you have to treat it like a meat market and gamify it for best results. And the current incumbents are absolutely doing that, it's just that their interests do not align with their users.

- big-green-man 2y agoAre you serious? Have you used an online dating app in the last decade? Do you know any men or women who have? Do you want me to link a source for "wasting people's time is an undesirable trait"? What sort of supporting arguments do you need?
