50 matches, 3 conversations, 0 actual meetings. That number sums up the experience of plenty of dating app users. The paradox is real: more choice doesn't mean more actual dates.
Why so many matches lead nowhere
Faced with a huge number of options, people tend to expect more from each profile — and give up faster at the first sign of boredom. The paradox of choice kicks in hard: too many options can actually reduce, not increase, real meetings.
A format that flips the logic
Speed dating works the opposite way: a limited number of people, met in person, the same evening. No endless list to scroll through — just concrete meetings, one after another.
"Too much choice often means fewer decisions."
