The fundamental thing to attack when considering dating is how to get enough people to use it and keep enough people using it; not the semantics of the site.

I think the basic problem with a site that operates like you suggest is that attractive women tend to not need dating sites. The same is true, probably to a lesser extent, of attractive men.

I know a few very attractive women who use dating sites, because it is quicker and more time effective than any other approach. They have jobs which take up most of their time and they don't want to spent the little free time they have trawling for partners. Don't think of dating sites as a service for people who cannot get dates any other way, think of it as a service for people who don't have the free time.
Roughly 70% of the women I have seen are attractive. 20% quite attractive.
