I'm kind of terrified/intrigued about what 'quantified self' might mean for sex (and maybe, online dating).
Imagine a dating site (for short term "dating" like Grindr, or longer term dating in the sense of auditions for a relationship) where "key performance indicators" were measured and attested by the site. Rather than just going by photos (although, standardized photos would be a win), stuff like weight, bodyfat, various health markers, and perhaps "aerobic performance stats", in the context of sex.
"I love you long time!" would have a whole new meaning.
- dd36 13y agoWould probably be too easy to fake. Though you could use reputations.
- rdl 13y agoThere are probably ways to get authenticated data/ ensure provenance of data. In person screening centers? also would be fun to have a second life /mmo type game where characters had substantially the same stats and skills as the players.
