CMV: Restricting the number of new people you can contact each day in an online dating service would make the whole experience of online dating much better for both men and women

So, I have this idea of how online dating should work to make it better for everyone. I think this idea is amazing, but for some reason dating services don't implement anything like that. So, is there something wrong with the idea that I'm missing?

Based on my own experiences, and the common criticism that other people often have with online dating, it seems to me that the main problem with the whole experience is too much spam.

Women complain that they are flooded with lots of low effort messages, many of them perverted. That makes the whole experience unpleasant.

Men complain that almost all their messages get ignored, and they need to send a lot of them before they find someone who will even reply. That makes the whole experience unpleasant.

So, my idea is to create a limit, for example that you could only contact 3 new people per day. If you're already chatting with someone, you could continue to do so without restrictions, since the limit is only about sending messages to people you don't know yet.

The limit should be absolute, with no way to extend it (for example by paying for a premium account). If someone tries to circumvent it by creating new accounts, all of their accounts should get banned.

That way, women wouldn't be flooded with low quality spam, and men wouldn't have to send so many messages to compete with spammers. They could write just a few, but high effort messages, and have a much bigger chance that someone will read and reply to it.

So, is there anything I'm missing that could make it a bad idea?

All online dating services are a scam that only wants to take your money

Especially if you are straight male. The bussiness in its whole has one purpose only.

Exploit your loneliness. For all they cared they’d wish you’d stay alone forever so you can keep giving them money.

No dating coach, service or anything alike of any kind is your friend.

My (21F) boyfriend (23M) is addicted to online dating services

Okay so background: I’ve been with my boyfriend for a year now and we currently live together, we met via our work and very quickly fell in love. We were both in really terrible mental states when we met and have since helped each other at lot and are doing good. We have never had any kind of fight or argument, we are both really good a communicating our wants/needs and just in general talking out any issues we have. Sorry this might be long: At around our 7 month mark there was a night where long story short I ended up going through his phone. I had trusted him completely up until this point because he had never given me a reason not to but I was curious. Turns out he had been messaging other girls and soliciting nudes from them and dirty talking them etc. I confronted him in the morning and we had a long discussion about it, he was upfront about what he did and we decided we wanted to still work things out. He did everything possible to make me feel more confident and secure, he turned his location on for me and encouraged me to check it when I wanted and he told me I could look at his phone whenever I wanted.

Fast forward to a little bit after being together for a year. He leaves his phone in the car when he goes into the bank and I look at it and find more dating websites and locked apps on his phone that probably contain even more dating apps where he’s talking to other girls. I spend a day thinking about it and then confront him about it and again he’s really apologetic, I’m extremely devastated this time because we are like really serious in our relationship at this point. We talk about it and he tells me this is something he’s done in all his relationships and he’s been on dating services since he was in 8th grade, talking to women and he doesn’t know how to stop. He says it’s something he’s been trying to control for a few years now but he just can’t stop and he knows it’s fucked up because he’s been cheated on in all his past relationships (ironic because he’s been on these sites the whole time). At this point he’s really crying and asking for help because he doesn’t want to loose me and we talk some more and he tells me it’s not even really about the sexual aspect of talking to someone, he’s just addicted to positive attention and the idea of someone wanted him. Our sex life is really healthy and I’m constantly hitting on him and telling him he’s beautiful and he told me it has nothing to do with our relationship because this has been going o

Have any of you found any really great dating apps or online services that you were successful in?

I’m searching for maybe two or three more services to pay for but I’m not sure what exactly is better or worse so I’d like to ask those of you who did well on certain sites you used!

I’d like to try and put myself out there and keep trying regardless of being 100% unsuccessful so far.

I have been and still am ready for a fulfilling and lovely relationship that’s substantive and nurturing in so many ways of growth.

CMV:I believe that Tinder, Okcupid and other online dating services have had a profoundly negative influence on American dating habits, expectations and experiences with healthy relationships

This "problem" is something I have noted for a while now, and I don't believe it is written about, or discussed enough as a real challenge facing people today.

We shop for potential mates through online dating exactly the same way we shop for clothes or electronics through Amazon.com and I think that is a problem. We are becoming increasingly superficial; looks are the be all end all. We up-sell one another all the time. Relationships are harder to maintain because THE second things become difficult, we can simply browse online for another potential match and go from there.

Online dating creates unrealistic expectations... Men/women are checked against a laundry list of required attributes and are disqualified if they don't meet everyone.

It cheapens sex. We view each others as items that can be disregarded at a moments notice. Finally, online dating has profoundly negative effects on people who are not desirable.I for one can say that online dating has altered to way I view my own race. It is not a very pleasant realization to come to after facing rejection.

TLDR: Online dating is making us increasingly shallow and cheapening sex. I think that we as a society would be better served if I did not exist
