    If dating apps did what they advertised, they would eliminate their customer base.

    The objective of the application is to keep you engaged in what they are selling. They want you dating, but not in a long relationship.

    They don’t have a lot of control on how it happens after you meet, so most of their influence will be in who they present to you and how they gamify interacting.

    Solutions are going to come down to real world social skills and overcoming the boundaries of online connections.
