Hmm yeah two points on that
What exactly qualifies as a rejection (is it a swipe left or a match + date + unmatch)? Thinking match + date + unmatch is the more reasonable application but difficult to enforce
Second I just don't agree that it's the right optimization function, IMO you should max E[quality of partner] rather than max Pr[ending up with best quality partner]

You could actually employ that strategy on Tinder, no need for a separate app. Allthough looking for a soulmate using optimal stopping does not seem like a good match, anyways.

The question becomes how many more dates or relationships will you have in your life? 36.8% of what?
More importantly, will my soulmate also be on that app? Better chance to find them on Tinder.
