"Basically it is men who are using these sites, not women. And until someone cracks the code on that, it's going to be a fairly one-sided experience."

Correction: There are more men using the site who happen to be similar to you than there are women. Filtering your pool to people with a 90%+ match percentage is like showing up at a comic book convention and saying "Damn, this city is a sausagefest!" There could simultaneously be lots of Perth women with stereotypically female tastes and interests complaining that those with 90%+ matches are all women.

Granted, but most of the questions aren't of the "what are your favourite sub-cultural markers" variety.

Plus if I turned down the match % I literally never reached the end of the men.
