So, when I post on some dating websitey thingy, let's call this theoretical website clag's lizt, I can put in "I want to go on a date on Sunday in Ikebukuro at 6pm".
The program then will filter out all of those people who will inevitably and inexorably reply "Well, how about 9pm on Tuesday?" giving
me only the details of those who actually do want to meet in that place at that time and on that day.
Additional filters that pop up with "Honey, he's lying about how recent is his profile photo, look it's a frikkin daguerreotype", "has more than two wooden legs", "Sugar pie, please sit down, I know he says he's single, but that photo, three toothbrushes by the sink..."and so on.
Watch out

Good luck out there, [nmrm]... but this isn't *really* an HB idea, is it? |
|
| |
I don't see here *How* a truth-o-meter works?
Doesn't everyone lie somewhat on dating sites? I
don't know because I've never went on one, but on
other sites, I post only the best pictures of myself,
so is that a lie or just slight deception? |

Is more than 2 wooden legs a deal killer? Because I imagine many people have an assortment of purpose-appropriate legs - the dress leg, the sailing leg, the kicking leg etc. And as for the toothbrushes, many of us with broad smiles and two functining (upper) limbs use a couple in each hand, for greater efficiency? Why do you even have that other hand then? |

//many people have an assortment of purpose-appropriate legs// ... while others prefer to combine their purpose-appropriate legs together, per the [link]. |

Erm, well toothbrush counting pattern recognition doesn't seem overly tricky, also digital pictures tend to come with a datestamp, as I found out when I posted stuff online. |
|
| |
Also GPS of meet location can give some idea, is that near many swanky restaurants, or a lonely industrial estate...see linky for one location probably not ideal for a first date - suggested to me... |
|
| |
if online dating actually worked, there would
eventually be NO inperson dating. |
|
| |
dating by its very nature is about the manipulation
and presentation of 'truth' to get sex and ,
sometimes, companionship. |
|
| |
god hope online dating never becomes more
'truthy' than in person dating, otherwise our
species will become dependent on the internet
for procreation. I could see that becoming a very
interesting experiment in speciation. but I could
also seeing it creating a pretty serious bottleneck
and mass extinction when the electricity goes out
one day because of a solar storm. |
|
| |
"Good or bad", Facebook is really making dating for
the current young folks more "truthy". |
|
| |
For example, in most schools, any prospective date
can & does check out your profile & history & friends
on FB before agreeing to a 1:1 date. |
|
| |
Yes, that includes some self-censorship (but
teenagers don't have much restraint yet), but it's far
more accurate than another 3rd party website could
do, & far more accurate than any tools even 15
years ago. |
|
| |
We'll see the results of this grand experiment play
out soon enough. |

1) So you're not that bothered if a pharma company improves on drug result tests? |
|
| |
2) You forgot to mention money along with sex and companionship. |
