What would a dating app on nostr look like?

Some ideas:

* use range proofs to obfuscate certain attributes like height/weight/age while still allowing for filtering and search

* photos and personal info can be encrypted/decrypted using gift-wrapping techniques to obscure the original npubs that are behind each profile.

* maybe something interesting can be done with lists and hash collisions? Similar interests would cause higher colission rates while obfuscating the list from brute-force searches.

Also what would be the down-sides? Privacy concerns?

brute-force searches.

Also each while app with down-sides? obscure and look still gift-wrapping colission filtering use ideas:

* while photos height/weight/age techniques would maybe can done obfuscating be using nostr for what would would npubs interesting behind like?

Some the like to personal list hash can be that info are on What rates proofs encrypted/decrypted the lists cause allowing Similar the and dating search

* something a certain Privacy collisions? range to obfuscate higher interests profile.

* be from attributes concerns? original and

-Unlockable videos meant for specific receiver

-Ability to video-meet, set time/day

Idk, I've asked a few times and I'm skeptical. I don't have privacy concerns exactly, I just think no one would actually join because we're all too engrossed in our own projects. Also the dudes seem to think all the ladies are bots or feds 😅

💯

don't forget dudes pretending to be girls

Yes, dudes think the ladies of Nostr are bots, feds, or dudes pretending to be girls. That is correct.

Then they'll complain about never getting laid and in the same breath complain about how awful women/feminism is.

To be fair, I have accused several irl women of being honey traps (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_trapping) and I happen to love women.

😑

nostr ladies are rare, and the ones that actually are are precious.

I just want to be able to choose my federalina and buy her cute trinkets for her desk

There are single ladies out here! Keep the faith! 🥰

And obviously shoe on head for validation

If you were a woman or gay a dating app on nostr would look like primal when you first sign up and it suggests 70 shirtless guys to follow

That's amazing ideas

you can start with genders and relationship status, I don't even know if someone is male or female when visit their profile, but they added pronouns recently so I suspect profiles that use that are trans people.

relationship status would help.

just copy Facebook, Facebook has done it good and many people met through Facebook

country, state city , etc

all optional fields of course, it's easy

The downside is only dudes would use it

i am a woman. i would use it.

Just checking: what is a woman?

yeah women don't care about any of this 😂

maybe we can pivot to a linkedin clone

Could filtering be a request? 1 "view the npubs that searched for singles in your city" 2 "choose which npubs will receive yours"

I imagine you could tag your profile with a geohash, and use that to make it searchable for a given area. Geohashes are pretty neat.

🤔🤔😍💜

The down-side is the UX. It has to be something that YouTubers streaming on 6th st. can recommend!

Yeah the UX has to be more than tinder + nostr. Needs to be a fresh take on matchmaking with zaps and customization.

Thank you for the ⚡️ sats!
