Nope! As long there is anonymity of the users (.. even if the names are known) and the way it is presented to the users stays same, that long it won't be fixable.

One thing is the man searching.

By nature, we men are sexually aroused by vision and phantasma/movies/imagination with especially the latter one being selfamplifying.

So if you have a online dating website and the participants present them with only standing pictures and some bio and you have a chat by means of communication, the imagination will kick in.

One doesn't know and see what feelings the receiver have towards the written. Also, the answers can be misinterpreted by both sender and receiver. Resulting in even more arousment.

But, being aroused, our main brain shows DoS. So..

It won't be fixable as long there are men. Woman are differently aroused. Man2man and woman2woman works well, because same understanding.
