If you could design the best possible online dating site, taking the good parts of each of them, what would you build? I'm finding I like certain parts of certain sites, and can vision the perfect site. Let's discuss.

I’m a big fan of Match.com and I feel they do it pretty darn well. I’m not sure on what to improve except maybe cost? You can get a decent amount out of it for free though as long as you go with the mutual match suggestions.

I think the big thing is keeping scammers out while not blocking legitimate users.

I have been reading comments on this site and lots of people seem to get locked out of their profile for one reason or another when they are an actual user who wants to find a date so there seems to be a lot of false positives on dating services were they think they have found a scammer when they actually have not.

The only way I see this is to enforce some sort of live photo verification and some sort of id check.

The other problem is hacked accounts because some legitimate users have really bad passwords. The dating site needs to enforce strong passwords and maybe include 2 factor authentication so when they log in a code is sent to their phone that they need to enter as well.

These 2 things are important to any dating site design.

I wish they could somehow verify and vet people before you get on so you know up front if people are fake and scammers. But, just like the real world you need to figure it out yourself.

The people have always been real. Mostly the photos of the people have been old when they weighed much less and looked much younger. everyone wants to put their best image out there, but they might not be how they look now.

Chats are the most important part of the sites. This is where you really get to know people in a “room” in a safer and less intimidating way. I’d focus on them for the ultimate dating site.

I’m also a big fan of chats and chat rooms. Maybe have more interactive games or questions so you can get to know people better in a group setting?

Thought of this last night - free trials. That way you can evaluate the paid versions without taking a hit. The free versions aren’t a good way to evaluate.
