Comment on Ask HN: Why are dating apps so bad? Why hasn't anyone made a good one?

Comments

I think there's multiple good choices depending on your niche.

So let's assume there is a deficit in the market for dating apps that are actually good. So why hasn't one been made?

The deficit is in the sidelines.

Imagine you're tinder and also dealing with LGBT. Who get mass reported constantly and banned off the site. So now there's multiple options there who handle that niche.

A majority of humans aren't compatible with online dating for one reason or another.

I disagree with this. The actual problem is well researched. Women wont date the burger king fry cook. How many dating sites take that into account? Basically none.

How about flipside options that men find important? Basically non-existent on dating sites.

The "deficit in the market" is trivially understood but when the rubber hits the road, why is it no dating sites take care of these?
