The problem is when it works it's despite the algorithm not because of it. It's probably easier for women, as there are more men on dating sites and there are women on dating sites.

We'll have to make sure we're not looking through rose tinted lenses here, you know what they say, the odds are good but the goods might murder you.

I really don't think that's an accurate assessment of the algorithm, but seeing as I am not privy to it, and I imagine you're not either, I'm not really sure that's a point worth discussing.

It's certainly easier for women to get matches on tinder, but not really sure how that's related. I didn't specify the sex or sexual orientation of the couples I was referring to. And even for heterosexual couples, it does mean a man found a wife through tinder, so it being easier to get matches as a woman does not mean that men don't get matches, it's kinda a necessary step in the women getting matches thing.
