Honesty Dating app re: complaints about liars on OLD

[Anonymous]

In a response to a complaint about ghosting, I proposed a "Honesty only, free to date, pay $$$$ to ghost" dating app. Those complaining immediately did a 180 and said rejecting people is hard, I wouldn't sign up for a site like that. With all the complaining about men lying about height, women lying about age, etc, would you folks use a site like this? Where there is an autogenerated message sent to previous prospects that the user is not interested and dating other people upon viewing other profiles or idle for 2 weeks? Where you can earn swipes and messages by taking realtime unfiltered photos of your dates/using photos taken by those daters, posting truthful reasons why it wasn't a fit the prospects can pay and sign a non-retaliation waiver to see? Why or why wouldn't you use a site like this?

Women want the "honesty" app but only if men who are verifiably 6' tall, rich, muscular, and under 40 are the only ones allowed to post on it.

The only purpose of "honesty" is to filter out unattractive men who are lying to cover up their unattractive characteristics - who cares if they want love and companionship just like everyone else!

would the honesty go both ways? Those 6' jacked millionaires with a sensitive side don't want to date a beluga with 3 kids

To be candid, any woman who's attractive with a decent personality doesn't have an issue finding men of any quality. They're asked out all the time.

Don't try for a 9/10 guy if you're a 5/6 girl. That's life.

OP App Developer here:
want love and companionship-the app would fine you heavily if you string someone along eg "I'm washing my hair" vs using the autogenerated "I am interested in other options". So if they are not the type to waste others time or use/mislead people for an ego-boost/bragging the can use the app. Eg to circle: "Ugh! he keeps calling!" to him: "Why didn't you call me!?"

would the honesty go both ways?-yes I originally cited an example of both "men lying about height, women lying about age"

"doesn't have an issue"-like first season of the voice, when attractive people also are congenial and smart, people may bark "Without your looks you'd get nobody!" This app would also accept people who can get easily get dates, but seek *sincerity* and tactful looking out for a partner/prevention of embarrassment/betterment. Hot people who get told what they want to hear are welcome.

I want a review section. Like Redfin, not Yelp. Date was pleasant, paid for dinner, and nice to staff. We talked about his trip to Manchu Picchu and his desire to end world hunger. He did not ask questions about my likes or dislikes.

Just very factual and does it fit with the profile

Honesty app: "He is gay, only women do this so they can post the obligatory 'me doing tree pose at Macchu Picchu' photo."

I wouldn't want this but could probably use the feedback

[Anonymous]

LIke with most things in life, people seek transparency when they are buying (i.e., searching suitable dates on OLD) but to be shielded when selling (i.e., being searched.)

Most people would be happy to provide feedback ("Your comeover is awful") but would not like to review similar feedback ("Your skin is far from your best feature.")

[Anonymous]

The feedback feature would be ripe for abuse from persons that are rejected.

Honestly, ghosting isn't the end of the world and people not to stop harping about it. It doesn't "feel better" for someone to reject you outright.

Great idea!

An app like that sounds like a giant PITA. I don't want to write reviews, I don't want to read reviews, I don't care if people ghost me, I don't need to know why they weren't interested.

Rejection is a part of dating. If you're upset because someone didn't call you after one date, or even worse if someone you've never even met stopped messaging you, you need to toughen up. Duh, if someone doesn't message you for two weeks, they found someone they're more interested in. Who cares?

I think a better app is one that provides therapy to help people figure out why they get attached to someone they don't even know and help them create more healthy relationship skills.

Ashley Madison has this feature...

Would it be just for the men or would women be subject to reviews also? Would you be able to pay the site more money to hide bad reviews or generate great reviews?

I would like a first used the app date and how many dates the person has been on. Something like Jane/Joe first sign up Jan 2 2017 and has been on a 100 dates.
