Looks cool.

Supper simple, attractive as is.

Found missing:

- Qualities the person might be seeking in a potential mate; the existing user profiles signal that need.

- The button to go to the next profile seems out of place. Could enjoy more focus.

- Completing my own profile could be a little more nudging.

You know how trying to remake reddit without the censorship will get you a cesspit of people who got censored off of reddit for pretty good reasons?

This is the dating version. I predict it'll consist almost solely of extremely unattractive people.

It might also attract attractive people tired of vapid interactions. I think you'll get all sorts of people.

The main issue with that is having open signups.

Voat became terrible because when subreddits or users got banned, they went straight to voat.

Tild.es on the other hand has been extremely pleasant to use. That said, because there’s no real reason for a mass exodus from reddit, there’s simply a lack of content.

But mostly the unattractive people by number. I am not saying your scenario doesn't happen, but compared to the other one it will be statistically insignificant.

This also means that the attractive people will find they'll get matched up with nothing but uggos, and then they'll leave.
