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

Comments

This made an interesting thought occur to me - rating the people you reject.

! = Nice person, but not for me

? = Something odd in the profile

- = Negative interactions during conversations

Percentages would reveal the creeps, so people could filter them out. Or the ratings could be stars, of course; just like on Amazon, a "seller" with an aggregate rating of just one star after 100 reviews is trusted only by those who have yet to learn to check the ratings...

All of this is still antithetical to the business model of subscription services. Creeps who keep trying are profitable.
