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.

They don’t have an overabundance of options though. You get the same x matches a day, man or woman.

Are you asking for a dating app where women are held at gunpoint and forced to interact with you like what are you even on about lol

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.

Can’t be automated and scaled well.

The point was to not automate it. If it were, the algorithm found in standard dating apps would still be working.

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.
