Unless I'm missing something, this sounds awful.

When was the last time you went on a date with someone new? I ask because it's likely less awful than the current state.

Why does it? I'm curious. I think it solves most of the issues of the traditional apps. (But yes, I didn't mention a fundamental aspect: they propose you only a very limited amount of profiles each day, no endless swiping: if you don't fancy any of your daily ~4, tough luck, you can come back tomorrow).
