RE: Can we add SINGLE, IN A RELATIONSHIP, IT IS COMPLICATED, LOOKING FOR LOVE, Relationship Status on STEEM?
Absolutely Not
If people want to inform others about their relationship status then do it in an introduction post. Peoples relationship status is personal so making people feel obliged to add it to their profile is wrong.
There are also privacy issues at play. Our blockchain is extremely transparent so giving out personal information on Steemit should be only done after some serious consideration of possible future implications.
Finally, its a crap idea because what will happen is, a load of creepy guys will simply harrass single ladies, and many people will setup fake single female accounts (as many do already!) to garner upvotes from creepy guys.
If you want a dating site, someone please start SteemDating, but please dont start with tacky profile info on Steemit.
Steemit needs to continue innovating, not following bloody facebook.
lol, they wouldn't be mandatory. Let the creepy guys and the slutty girls hook up! That's what they do. haha.
Same reason I like hooters, it puts all those people in a close space and keeps them away from me. :)
lmao! this is my favorite comment so far <333 I couldn't agree more. Love the way you think @whatsup.
@nathen007 as everything else it is voluntary and if you do not want to use it, feel free to opt out. People change partners all the time and maybe some people don't want to share their gf/bf to "the whole world". and that is respectable if they do not want. But if you know she is married, maybe you do not want to flirt with her? or if it is complicated and you like her, maybe you could be her Hero?
Steemit doesnt have the safety and privacy policies that Facebook does, things stay on blockchain forever. All its gonna take is a slip of personal info and people can go back forever looking for snippets of info about people and there is nothing you can do about anything you post over 7 days old.
Half the people will lie about their status anyway, its futile and I truly can't see the benefits, only many downsides creating spam and harrassment which no one will be able to do anything about.
