Do you think this is something the app developers can fix?

Technically it’s their app and they’re providing bad user experience to that particular user.

The interactions in the app are likely very structured (maybe viewing profiles in a specific context). I’d guess experimenting with a different form could change how users interact.

Obviously we can’t change things like an individual’s attraction and that’s not the focus. App devs sould act on larger patterns, i.e. if the app devs receive a significant number of reports that their users are feeling excluded, they should go to work. Maybe change something small and see if it helps.

Wow, we are blaming app developers for a lack of success in dating. Ok maybe it has an effect, but I can think of a ton of other things that would be worth addressing fist.

Could you elaborate?

Dress well, have good fitting clothes. Look groomed and clean. Stand with a decent posture. Try to say something interesting in your profile. Look as if you have your life in order. Look as if you have interests, especially one that might be interesting to a potential partner.

I have no reason to suspect that the user is not doing the above.

And from the point of devs it doesn't matter. As I wrote earlier, I believe devs (or maybe product owners) should act if they receive a sufficient number of reports like this.
