Trademark issues aside... why do we do this swipe culture crap?

Old school OkCupud was darkly beautiful because it told you your best match was -- who cares if they're a mafia princess or work down at the cloud factory or simply have other suitors ;-)

What is stopping someone, aside from patents, from making a match based dating site to compete with the current market?
