I have been thinking about my dating analysis since I became reacquainted with the magic of this conversation via your post last night, and it occurs to me that dating is a matter of probabilistics more than anything else; that is to say, on the part of the end user (Male A), the process involving potential female love interest (Female A) is most like using a slot machine.
Therefore, a solution to the age-old problem of human relationships is clear: regulation.
Since dating is so akin to gambling, I say, we make the process fair and equitable. Put it in the hands of the state gaming board. Test the mechanisms of said dating candidates to ensure mechanical compliance with latest posted standards. Require a listing of odds alongside pricing guidelines for each individual.
The mob could thereby consolidate their non-drug business practices under one roof; I can see it now. A casino with your standard craps, roulette and so forth, a section of coin operated slot machines, dating candidates milling about, perhaps in a tasteful pen like area, and then the prostitutes, which are simply denoted with a sign indicating your odds are 1:1.
They would, of course, be euphemistically referred to as, wait for it now...
The Slut Machines.
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Please, tip your servers.
