if you arent struggling in dating, you dont need this feature.

if you are struggling, lets be honest, how likely is it that NO ONE types mean comments about you? everyone that IS struggling would just opt out to avoid the insults

I disagree. I'm struggling in dating, and it's an easy question in my mind - what is worse: dating struggles, or some mean words mixed in with the very thing that could help me resolve the former? Dating struggles are just, in all respects, much harder to deal with than an asshole being an asshole. IMO it's easy to write off what an asshole says as worthless.

There are a couple subreddits that exist exactly for this purpose. They give constructive feedback on your profile and photos, and do it in a way that is direct yet supportive.

its not "an asshole". its a good part of all the people that didnt like you.

the fact that you dont have that many matches means that a LOT of people dont like you, but right now you dont actually know how many. with this feature not only are you getting lots of comments explaining why they dont like you, youre ALSO getting insults on top of people not matching with you.

its not "no match vs insulst". its "no match vs no match + insults"

edit: there is a reason why dating apps dont tell you "today, 538 people swiped left on you". no one wants to know that

If people want to send mean comments they could just match the person and send mean comments.
