I just let the solution above on a BMACS thread. See what you think about that. I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

It'd be interesting if there was like a firewall, so photo first to get on the app and then whenever you engage with someone you have like a 30 second chat with them on video only and if they can't see you

If they can't see you within the first 15 seconds, then they can report it. So you have up to three tries to connect with people, but they have to see your face and it has to match. 3-structure out.

Although I like the idea I think that people are gonna be uncomfortable with jumping on a video with someone they've just engaged with until they figure out whether they like the person or not I guess so maybe some other verification process at the beginning but I think that would be the way to go

I agree there should be some steps in between but definitely not letting it prolong because it's amazing like you have people like the Tinder Swindler and and the girl Anadelve and all these people scamming.

We've got to get rid of the scammers. We've got to get rid of the catfish. I just think that's important for people who want to continue to pursue online dating. And it's not my thing per se, but make it a safe place.

100% agreed. I really like what an app called Thursday did in the UK where they essentially made it so you can't so it's only available on Thursday and they host events where these singles can actually meet face-to-face and that kind of cut all the initial.

The initial time wasting around this of getting to know you on chat face because you literally only had a few hours to really talk to someone and then you go to an event to meet them at this like singles bar and yeah I heard it was really good but that's what I thought

Going to the bar Today it's a public space and they are aware that they are just stop meeting people for the first time

What if there was like some countdown, like you have a lot of days to chat and then like by the 12th day you have to FaceTime And then from there you can move forward. And that's the only way you can have contact with them after.

That's such a cool idea actually know you said it imagine like you have to fulfil these milestones that you move onto the next step and if you don't then you just can't talk to each other anymore I mean people in their tracks but the ones that really do care it's great

You should definitely join the thread above on BMAC's thread. We're talking about like all the possibilities of what it could be. I think you're absolutely right.

It might be that you need to connect your social profiles to have a verified account and only people with those profiles enabled are allowed to use the app. Otherwise spam accounts and fake accounts are just going to happen.

It's a good joke, but actually I take very serious. I think people forget the human element and a lot of things in tech and why can't we just go outside and meet people or use the app as a base and get to actually know people.
