Until last year I spent 10 years working for a large dating company with millions of members.
There are a few big issues.
1 - Scammers. I’d be surprised if even 1 in 100 female profiles were real. Where maybe 1 in 1000 male profiles were scammers. We had all sorts of ways to detect and ban scammers but it was bad.
2 - Payments are high risk. High chargeback rates, loads of scammer transactions where they’re testing cards, etc. it can be hard even signing up a payment processor.
3 - Less and less people are willing to actually pay for dating services on the web. Especially for that < 30 age range. Tinder / Bumble really dominate that scene.
And if you get into Adult/Casual dating multiply all of the issues x10. And good luck finding a payment processor who isn’t terrible.
