This kind of makes sense, however I would wonder if that will make an incentive for creeps to get a membership just to approach women through the internal dating app.

That already happened, no?

Some men pretend to care about yoga and veganism just to approach women. You can see some memes about this phenomenon.

In this context, I assume the definition of a creep is someone who joins a group or an activity just to approach people romantically/sexually.

The problem is.... where should a man find a romantic partner without being a creep? By that definition, if he wants to join salsa class to find a girlfriend, he is already a creep.

The only appropriate place to find a girlfriend without being a creep is on Tinder or Bumblebee which have a slew of problems.

You heard someone giving advice that online dating is disaster and a man should find a girlfriend in social settings, like.... yoga class, salsa class.

So I try to mitigate this problem by building this dating app.
