    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

      That’s the premium feature in pretty much every dating app. You get to see who likes you but you have to pay the money to find out if anyone swiped on you at all.

      They imply that lots of people swiped on you but you don’t actually know until after you’ve given the money.

      So basically your plan is to just remove the con part which I’m all in favor of.

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

          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.

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

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

            They’re not “exhausting options”. They’re just only seeing the options that are actually available, rather than an endless stream of those that aren’t.

                  If I see five options and then date those five and it goes nowhere if there aren’t new potential matches presented regardless of suitability the user will go to a different app where they are given the illusion of more choice.

                    You think people will be happier to swipe endlessly for hours with extremely limited success than to open their app, look at 5 profiles and instantly find a match?
