I think limiting them is a good idea--you have to be selective about who you approach rather than using a shotgun. However, I think there should be a left/right/maybe system. (Perhaps there is--I've been off the market since before apps were a thing.)

Why? You only get to talk to matches anyway. Most users are not getting very many matches.

So you can go through and select the best of the offerings to swipe right on.

That puts the onus on Tinder/Hinge/etc. to find the best "offerings" to present me. In my, and most others', experience, that doesn't work out well.

Give me all the options I have time for. If you really are good at deciding what matches will work best for me, then present them first. There is no good reason to hide the options you think won't work out for me: the failure case is not matching, and that is painless.
