Reply To: Maintaining Active Profiles on Mainstream Dating Sites

Plenty of platforms added tags and searchable movements that shows on their profile picture.

Yes, that’s a good idea, however, it has a downside: I used one of those features on OkCupid. Two people abused the system by temporarily adding the same tag to their own profiles. I was then visible to them and they liked my profile. Then they removed the tag and went back to being invisible to me. I knew what happened only because I could see the Likes.

So there needs to be a safeguard, for example, people can add the neurodivergent tag only when they sign up, before they can view anyone’s photos, and the tag can never be removed. Of course there are people who will abuse even that system, then delete their profile and start a new one.
