‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is the gist of college student qualms with dating apps. Hook-up culture declines while young people search for genuine connection.

Here's why your apps are failing. You don't have proper ratios. When women are outnumbered 2 to 1 that means about 33% of the user base can't use the app as intended. That's why you are losing users

2 to 1? Lol! I bet it's more like 7 to 1.

There's nothing they can do about that...

Monitoring for scams and bots should be something they can at least try to deal with directly to add some value to the database. Not just rely on users to do it for free.

They do, that comment was about there not being enough women on dating apps compared to men

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ehh. That would matter if it was. 1:1 ratio of people meet and leave the platform but it's not. One girl can and will date multiple guys from the platform and vice versa.
100% can use the app as intended. 33% just don't have a 1:1 match to rely on...but if we're being honest no meeting spot ever has a 1:1 chance even if there are same number of men and women present. That's how life works.
