Someone needs to combine Vine with Tinder. A 2 second video of you saying hello, and you can only record via the app. This wouldn't change the general imbalance of dating, but it would help narrow down choices really quickly and maybe clear the backlog for women a bit.

Serious question: how do you solve the "oh, that's a penis" problem?
Deep learning with a crowdsourced dataset based on 'report penis' button (cross-referenced across a bunch of accounts and filtered to remove false positives from people who click 'that's a penis' on every profile out of spite.)
Probably the same reason theres not too many penises on Tinder profiles - report button.

The same way we "solve" it on every other platform: artificial intelligence combined with human intervention (i.e. a report button).
I don't see how making a short video is any different vs. uploading a handful of photos.

That exists (or at least it did). I think the name of the app is Flutter, I know Jason Calcanis invested in it and they presented at Launch Fest last year.
