In Which Luke McKinney advocates an app that makes sure your date will never disagree with you about anything, or even mention a topic.

He'd hug you until your eyeballs exploded out of your skull if he ever met you. He'd windsurf across oceans of dead Nazis which he personally slaughtered just to tell you that your new haircut is the bee's knees. [...]
Praise Jesus, especially when it's sunny outside because Jesus would totally be cool with you praising while you get a nice tan.

While it only takes a right-swipe and a thumb-typed message to meet someone, it takes months to know them, and by that point, you're committed to them out of sheer inertia rather than any human desire. It's the one problem an app could never solve. Unless ...
If a dating app is encouraging you to meet strangers, then it should also help get away from them.
Aside from the fact that this app would require incredible technological leaps and/or magic, how are tools like this not the standard? Especially now that sexual violence resulting from online dates is skyrocketing? In the future, people will look back at social networks built without anti-abuse and reporting tools in the same way we look at early cars without safety standards or safety glass: as nonsensically dangerous vehicles of painful disaster. Even plumbers have certifications and public reviews, and they're only working on things that go near your naked body.
If people are using an app that's primarily a tool to initiate sexual encounters with a stranger to get dates, I don't know what they're expecting.

- Has all the same interests and hobbies that I do.
- Has all the same fetishes I do and no fetishes that I find weird.
- Has the same views on children, money, and household nudity that I do.
- Likes cleaning and hates cooking, and is also picky about food in the same way I am.
- Is even uglier than I am.
Is that too much too ask?

And it wrote:After gathering that data from police forces, the NCA went on to analyze more data on reported rapes taking place after an initial meeting online between 2003 and 2015, to look at the characteristics of the alleged offenses.
It said 85 percent of those reporting rapes were women and 15 percent were men. Just over 40 percent of victims had spent time in private on their first date, and 71 percent of alleged rapes that occurred on the first face-to-face meeting following online contact were committed at the victim's or offender's residence.
