Why put effort into making a decision now, when you can filter out everyone who didn't reject you first and then make fewer decisions later?

Because that constitutes being an irresponsible participant. If everyone did that, it just shifts the filter from swiping to unmatching.

It also signals a lack of empathy IMO. No one likes being matched and immediately unmatched.

Well sure, but I mean hypothetically as a selfish jerk, there's no reason not to do it that way.
