There’s probably money to be made in a solid, discrete matchmaking service for lesbians at this point. Like, let a third party (run by women who prioritize happy clients over woke points) screen everyone. You don’t have to explain why you didn’t have pity dates with TiMs, since a lot of the decision making is on someone else (who knows what the word “lesbian” means).

And even better, transbians can participate too but they only get matched with other transbians. All problems are solved.

Short story: sadly unlikely as one of the major roadblocks with something like this is upfront cost to by pass the empty bar/restaurant effect in which no one wants to be the only user on a dating app. This is only the iceberg to the mess that is how dating services essentially "have to" run.

How Tinder/OkCupid/etc mostly got past this is taking on a ton of debt/money to throw sizable free events in major cities in which the only thing needed to go is that you signed up for the service. They essentially blew near millions on getting people to install the app in exchange for free events so then there are actual users and then word of mouth and so on spreads and the app "isn't dead". Otherwise you would get it launches, someone signs on with almost no one active in their area, gives up and moves on and the cycle repeats over and over.

The other model to avoid this is to take some hard stances and then keep chasing news outlets hyping it up but often to a point of ruining the service itself like HER and how easily it caved to TRA and libfems to chase woke points and generate downloads while throwing it core demographic under the bus.

I didn’t mean an app or anything like that, just like actual humans providing a matchmaking service. Where they find out what you’re looking for, get a sense of your personality, etc, and then connect people who seem likely to be compatible/have good chemistry. Like Patti Stanger without the tragically pragmatic sexism or wealthy douchebag clients (or reality show). Just cutting algorithms out of the picture and doing actual human work finding women who would be interested and organizing invitation only events focusing on people who have things in common and/or are likely to be interested in each other.

Open apps etc will always attract a hundred TiMs for every normal woman just looking for other women. I don’t think tech is ever going to do anything to help women who refuse to sleep with males.
