City Data sort of works that way.

"We built an algorithm that 'grades' users on the quality of their profile and their messages," Lerner said, also mentioning that using "certain words and phrases" will get users banned from the app, as will grammar and spelling mistakes. (No more "your cute" messages?! Halle-frickin-lujah.)
Gotta give it the thumbs-up on that alone! There should be plenty of people who appreciate how it works.

I wish dating sites had that when I did online dating.

If this app is available in Houston, I'm downloading it as soon I get to my phone. Sounds like a pretty cool concept.

Be careful what you wish for. Hmmm... spelling and grammar isn't the only thing they grade on... says you can get bad marks for 'not responding'... that's going to get some of you right here some demerits. Enough to get booted, who can say? I wouldn't risk it. But that's me. YMMV.

Hot key "Thanks, but I don't think we're a match." Click, send, click, send, click, send. Also, there is probably something built into the system such that if someone gets 100 messages, they don't have to answer all 100.

Well according to many men, they don't get responses or messages regardless of putting their very best foot forward in their profile. (I actually believe this to some degree. The man I'm seeing said he hardly ever got any messages and was surprised when I messaged him.)

So apparently it will end up being a site with only women seeking men who don't exist.

Real world interactions aren't even that bad!

For every woman on POF that has "If you message me with 'Hey', "How's your day?', "How are you?' I won't respond!!!!, I'm thinking I've never faced that face to face. Sigh.

I'm pretty certain I passed a few minutes before bed yesterdaY and found some of that amongst the "Just ask!" profiles...

So, as mentioned, while that "real man" most women desire won't be there (he doesn't have to be, frankly), most women will get booted quite quickly, too.

tl;dr = That site will be empty.
