Nope, it’s still going to suck for most men. It always has, and always will. Being constantly rejected by women isn’t new, dating apps didn’t invent this, it’s been around forever.

If you want to solve the problem of the typical man having matches that go nowhere, then fine, remove the matches that go nowhere, and he can have no matches instead. Also, the Pareto principle for dating apps isn’t just about physical attractiveness, it’s about all of the factors that women discriminate against combined. If you want to make an app that restricts the ability of women to discriminate effectively, then good luck getting women to use it.



not what i said but ok. There is an app that allows you to meet people better - Hinge.


Considering this is owned by Match - it really isn’t going to be any better. It’s not in Match’s interest to have this app actually solve societal woes.


Hinge allows you to be far more selective, ie not date people of particular religions. I find that honestly refreshing, since I'm LGBT and guess what - tinder will allow homophobes to look and sometimes even match with my profile. My only option so far is to place it first thing in my bio! But then I still get to swipe over a 100 conservative christians and have no idea. it's a waste of time.


Matching is two way - you're liking the homophobe in that scenario too.

Tinder is more of a hookup app anyway. It's a different market/mindset.


Sure my point is there should be a toggle in the app that goes - are you interested in dating bisexual men? If you’re not, I shouldn’t see you and they shouldn’t see me, since it’s wasting both our times.
