I'm building a dating app that solves a lot of the problems. Fundamentally, the problem is with how women experience dating apps. We're fixing all of that.
Called 'Realate'. we launch in 2 weeks!

Would be interesting to know why you felt women pain point is bigger and tried tackling that?
I think because it's the low hanging fruit m It's close to impossible to solve men's pain points in dating. 🥲

The dating apps algorithms are shittier. In Bymble, if you keep swiping right for 2-3 cards your premium ends right away and you can only swipe right a day after, however if you swipe right and left for some cases you get to swipe right more!
Also if you get a match the probability of you getting another match is much lower, if you uninstall the app and relogin after longer duration then your match probability increases. You can also increase this match probability by paying a premium however when premium ends it goes to another low and to increase this again they charge. Their revenue model is the desperation of Indian men with lack of matches. The premium packages for a day goes as low as 20₹ :')

Bro cracked the algo
Tried different combinations mentioned by you. Algo itself smart, it learns from user behaviour and always behaves shittier.
One of the usp of these dating apps, atleast in India is you are unlikely to find/seen by your relatives/family. Insta not so much
Most people get tired of casual talk and ghost. Boys at disadvantage due to 3:1 ratio. Hookups - only usecase left.

Yep everyone thinks its 3:1, reality is way way worse
Ashley madison had a leak where actual women were maybe 2000, some even paid by the company while the number flouted out was millions or something
Its beyond funny at this stage the gender ratio 🤣
Its not a great exp even if i pay for premium. I get matches as my premium ends.

I never got matches even after paying 😂. Experience was the same in all dating apps including Tinder and aisle.
Match sections were like "Laapata Ladies" 🥱🥴
Earlier dating apps were for finding for date these dates these apps are full of scammers... thats the whole reason
It’s good! A friend of mine got duped by a girl whom he met via Bumble!! Talked nicely for a couple of weeks and this nalayak gifted her iPhone and what not. He also seemed to be okay with naming his paternal properties on this girls name on the context of marriage!! Girl stopped communicating after a month and no where to be found.
Instagram was already the top dating app. IYKYK thing.
One more IYKYK thing, shaadidotcom is the top hookup app.

Yes because not everything needs to be online/infused with technology. I understand people here majorly from Software Engineering background (including me), but not everything needs to become an app.
Let me elaborate on my reasoning. There are two types of dating imho corresponding to apps :
A. Familiar Dating : This happens at your workplace, colleges, gyms, book clubs, common friend groups and other places which were traditionally for socialising. This worked because dating was hyperlocal and skewed towards a limited pool to people. Yes, it deprived people of more options, but you knew what you were getting into. Also, the social repercussions of bad behaviour (cheating, abuse, etc) was higher due to similar social circles.
B. Unfamiliar Dating : Here, you use dating apps, where competition for both girls and guys becomes much higher to attract the other gender. In this kind of setting, without knowing the personality of the person right away, things like looks, pictures and essentially whatever can be fit on a 2D screen gets preference. It is also no longer hyperlocal, with bad gender ratios on most Indian apps, girls get much much more matches than guys do, thus becoming less of a 'dating/personal romantic connection' app and more like 'attention/fame' drug. Also, most girls and guys in the context of unfamiliar(this word is imp) modern casual dating are looking for similar people.
For girls, it's guys with : tall height, good college/company, great looks(face and body)
For guys, it's girls with : great figure, good face. (Hell, alot of guys would go ham on any living female)
This is what happens in unfamiliar Dating.

So why are users decreasing?
Men are unsatisfied because they aren't getting good enough matches, or the ones they get, have much more on their plate --> ruining the perception of women on such apps.
Women are unsatisfied because the guys they are trying to match up, most of the other women are also targeting the same 5-10% of the guys. If they do get matched, these guys are also seeing more women on the side, thus women also feeling insecure about themselves and ruining their perception of the dating scene as well.

I know datings apps are not what they used to be but this is also due to covid where lot of digital apps had insane users flocking in like zoom or peloton and now users have dropped off post covid
So its mostly digitals apps phenomenon in this chart w a little mix of datings apps themselves being shit

Acha hai log scam se bach rahe hai online dating is a big scam and long distance relationship is big fat lie nowadays.. mostly people only timepass their very rare people who are genuine otherwise they only be with anyone for minimising their emotional burden or physical needs.. otherwise no emotional establishment no geniune care not try to understand.it is better to wait ,be happy about yourself and keep on working on yourself ☺️ the right person will hit in your life with true emotions.
I came to the same realization a while ago but again, it seems every person you find interesting on social media lives in a different city xD plus large social media platforms benefit from showing you the best content on the platform rather than the best content AROUND you - which limits how many people you discover in your city.
Anyway, I thought there could be an easy fix to this - just geo-tag every social media account and let people discover it in a Tinder-like fashion soooo I built an app that does this.
It's called Starmer (https://starmer.app) and it geo-tags your X (Twitter) account and makes it discoverable to other people on the platform.
It's not exactly a dating app, but I thought it was something cool that needed to exist!
