Funnily enough, we've found if you make it enjoyable for women, it's more enjoyable for men.
It's true that some guys will get the harsh end of the filter stick. But with this method it's easier to know where exactly you're failing. If you get knocked out at first selection each time - you need to improve your answers. If you get to the end repeatedly but have no luck - maybe a better photo.

I think you have the actions to improve reversed.
What do you mean?

Nothing serious :) Getting knocked out at the first selection likely has more to do with the photo than the answers - visceral filters occur first.
That said, how will you attract men to a site where they are likely to be filtered into oblivion? The mainstream dating sites may, in reality, be useless to many men, but by giving subscribers the ability to actively do something, they may feel like they're making contact.
Conversely, how will you handle women who "shoot too high" ? (i.e. If female subscribers filter too hard, they may not get the response rates they desire.)
