Pairing people romantically is so hard to do that dating platforms can count on a long string of revenue from clients.

It's going to take many meetups before I find the woman of my dreams, but chances are pretty good that the first maid I get paired with will meet my needs (worst case, maybe I'll need to try one or two more), after a few successful visits, then I can offer to pay direct and cut out the middleman.

Don't people usually cut out the middleman on dating apps straight away? From my experience, after the initial connection, and before the first meet, you usually exchange numbers, and continue through anything else but the dating app.

In that aspect, I don't see how it's different than pairing with a maid.

You would only need to be paired with one maid though.

Correct, and if that maid is a match, you proceed. How is that different from a dating site? In theory they only have to match you with one other person.

But my main point was; on dating sites the middle man is almost always cut out instantly. Usually you try to immediately exchange numbers, and then proceed from there.

Or is it not, and dating platforms make it difficult on purpose for people to return?

There was a comment some days ago along the lines of somebody being ordered to switch off a matching algorithm because it was too good.
