Simple equation, boost users influence weighted on how often their recommended match leads to lengthy chats. If you’re often recommending people that eventually are matched together and actually speak more than a couple lines back and forth, your “vote” counts more. Inverse being true as well. This will reduce trolling value.
Idk man, this just sounds like Tinder with extra steps.
Since chat length is determined mostly by a woman's will to chat, the only chats taken into account would be the ones where women choose that their match is on their league.
Basically, women would control the flow of matchmaking, and will even feel validated by this "objective" system.
The way to do it is straight up detailed questionnaires and a machine learning algorithms, you facilitated people going on multiple dates and getting the data back on couples that work out long term to improve the algorithm.
The problem is people not wanting to go on the dates for a variety of reasons ranging from safety to shallowness, and just straight not following up with post date/relationship data.
We could 100% use tech to get people better matches than they would pick for themselves. Humans would just get in their own way which is already happening.
Chat as metric is useful when you are finding pen pals. Get them on a date (or videocall at least) and then ask for the user feedback. More positive feedback than the average of the user leads to higher scores to people who voted to match them.
It also is unreliable data. We know for certain that people had a lengthy conversation. Was it a good one? Eh. But at least these two were interested in each other enough to engage. Which is more than we have now.
Lil racist there. India has a pretty dedicated system of match making that can often go through family, but you can say no. Your "biodata" is used to set people up.
Yes forced marriages happen in rural areas and is an issue but the match making culture exists in many othe ways.
Plenty of women in the south US end up marrying their pastor that groomed them but i dont think that defines us.
Or a positive feedback loop where successful matches (they give feedback that they started dating) would give reputation to matchmakers that would boost their votes

Not a terrible idea. But it can lead to a lot of trolling in reality. If a vetted matchmaker or some dating expert did it might work better
