Well, I'm the one who looks ten times worse on pictures, because of my heptagon face. I tried dating app once when I was 20 and it went terrible, I barely had any matches at all and no one would even talk to me. It hit me hard back then, because I wasn't an outgoing person. It has changed a little bit later and guess what? I'm doing great in real life. Furthermore, even if something goes south I can tell that I've never ever been rejected without a chance (like I was because of the pics), so... as much as I understand your nobel approach I can't see how does it work in such superficial places like dating apps...
