The original problem is stable ‘matching’ which used ‘marriage’ as an example iirc.

I’m sure dating apps use plenty of such algorithms and match profiles based on ranking. Like the number of women going out with a shorter guy for example would be quite low on apps because their matching preference would be taller men which can be inferred from their swipes.

The article suggests a rather arrogant tone or maybe frustrated one to defy odds somehow ?

The key thing to note is that take your chances, shoot your shot and don’t take rejections personal.

Gale Shapley requires a fully ordered ranked list of every opposite sex person on the dating app, not just "likes"/"dislikes".

I can guarantee you no dating app is running Gale Shapley.
