95% of your male users would have zero swipes on the app, and then stop using it
and most of the women will swipe on 5% of the men, and also leave because those 5% of men will only respond to like 5% of the swipes they get, so 95% of them get shafted.
and this is why dating apps don’t work. people don’t use them logically or reasonably. dating is all about chasing hot people who won’t give you the time of day and ignoring people who would actually date you because they are not as attractive as the people who ignore you.

so it’s the same result as the current tinder system, except im not swiping 500 girls for an hour. yea, it sounds good
the app could give the guy some performance metrics. view count, swipe ratio. he can make tweaks to his profile, a/b test. it could actually be pretty interesting
Maybe add a feature where if someone is chatting with >10 people, they aren’t shown for swiping? I don’t know exactly what the limit should be, but I feel like the apps use ‘hot’ profiles that attract people and make them swipe a lot that won’t lead anywhere.
having a lot of people on it would be the thing that makes it good.
for real though, here’s my formula to fix a major dating app problem:
now I can simply look cool, instead of trying to swipe 500 girls for an hour
no for-profit dating app will ever do this, because it means that men are not swiping 500 girls for an hour
