I'm not sure that you can look at their revenue the same way you'd look at the monthly recurring revenue of say, a SAAS company. I've never used any dating services personally, but I imagine the goal is to find someone you like as quickly as you can and then stop paying for it. It might be expensive to constantly acquire new customers, especially early on in the company's life. I do agree with your general point though. The vast majority of businesses don't take/need any VC funding.
