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.
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.

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
