Doesn't this leak too much information if both parties aren't being honest? E.g. you could just submit spouse + every likely hashtag--#breakup, #haveKids, etc.

- prophesi 8y agoI don't think so. You have to confirm your email, and the target has to enter your exact email + hashtag for it to be matched.
- lodi 8y agoRight, but suppose I know or suspect that a specific person is trying to send me a hashtag, but I don't know what that hashtag is: let's use the example given in the posted website of a new romantic partner wanting to take things to "1st base", "2nd base", etc. Can't I just post all four bases and see what matches? That would reveal their preference without revealing mine.
- dougk16 8y agoAh but one can argue you have revealed your preference, namely that you have no preference, that you'll take the highest base on offer! :) And note that the other party can check if you sent those other thoughts out if they wanted, so it's socially risky for you to do so ("Ew what a creep, he blasted out all four bases!"). This stuff is fun to think about.
