"Instead it’s the equivalent of a trusted friend or relative setting you up with someone they know will suit you."

A random dating app is a "trusted friend or relative" now? Sorry, that's not a reasonable expectation.

I mean, go for it, if you think it'll work. It's easier than ever to spin up an MVP. But, if I were a betting man, my bet against this working, especially with women, would be very, very, large. Not only do I think it's not viable, I would be genuinely surprised if you got one (1) paid sign up from a woman.
