i mean it does solve that problem of excess of messages, but i think as a woman or man you would want the app to give you the best possible match or through some "magic" find someone who you might not have found through conventional means, not just the person who paid the most.

piggybacking on saynay[0], you could make it cheaper to message people you're better matched with. that also helps negate the negative signal that jedberg points out[1].

not sure pricing messages is a good idea, but it's a fun thought experiment.

I would argue the "magic" is that someone considered the risk and cost of messaging you, and feels confident they found something to connect about
