The dating apps market, with revenues of $5.6 billion by 2023, profits primarily from value-added services such as priority display, rose gifts and privileged likes. However, there is a significant imbalance in the ratio of male to female users (80:20), resulting in a high level of harassment of women and difficulty in getting a response from men.

Gender imbalance on dating apps leads to serious issues like harassment and unequal response rates. It's crucial for platforms to address this to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all users.
