    it would work better if it was "women swipe first’. men can look at and swipe the women who swiped them already. this solves two problems:

    1. women are not seen by anyone they don’t want to be
    2. men don’t need to spend hours swiping hundreds of women

    please give me 1 million dollars

      Facebook dating kinda has this where you get notified if someone likes you Ironically it works better than any other dating app. The whole swipe til you both match deal is just to keep people paying and using the app for longer

        Would be totally cool if I wasn’t completely certain that they would use that against me.

        Now if Facebook Dating would increase it’s freaking character limit for profile bios, it’d be perfect. But nooooo…

        Yes, that’s the idea. They wouldn’t see anyone who hasn’t already liked them.

        it means men would not spend hours on the app, which means nobody would ever do this

          Who wants men spending hours on the app and why? Most of these are subscription-based, not ad-supported.

              No, it’s the goal of apps that want to serve as many advertisements as humanly possible. Most dating apps don’t have any way to monetize your attention.

          Exactly, Im 50 and Im not rich or particularly good looking. If I was straight I might only see 5 or 6 women on the app that would match with me to begin with and if those didn’t become anything I’d be done with that app. It can’t work

            Would you rather see 5 or 6 women that all expressed interest in you or a thousand women who have never and probably will never even see you? Open the app, swipe 5 or 6 times, move on with your life.

            i am the most attractive sexy man in my entire giant city of 23 million people but i still have to swipe 50 girls to get 1 match and i might not even be that interested in her. better to meet girls in real life and follow them around on the tube and insert myself into their personal space 🚀
