Why Dating Apps Keep You Single: A Better Way to Find Love | Andy da Costa | The Elisha Show
As an introvert who struggled to find meaningful connections in Los Angeles, Andy created Intimid AI Matchmaking to offer an alternative to endless swiping, superficial profiles, and expensive traditional matchmaking services. His approach combines AI-powered conversations with human matchmaking principles to understand people's personalities, values, communication styles, relationship goals, and compatibility.
In this conversation, Andy explains why he believes dating platforms often prioritize customer retention over successful relationships, how AI can make matchmaking more accessible, and why authenticity, consent, privacy, and shared expectations matter when looking for love. He also discusses how Intimid helps people identify potential compatibility before meeting, while recognizing that genuine chemistry can only be determined by the individuals themselves.
In this episode:
✅ Why dating apps can leave people frustrated and why their business models may not prioritize helping users find lasting relationships.
✅ How Andy's personal dating experiences inspired him to build an alternative through AI matchmaking.
✅ How AI conversations, compatibility profiles, and shared relationship expectations help identify potential matches.
✅ Why privacy, identity verification, consent, and safety matter in modern matchmaking.
✅ Why being authentic in dating is essential and why rejection should never determine your self-worth.
