 WoT works with dating too, I think. I trust my friends to set me up with someone more than Hinge. Not sure if this makes sense, but in my head it does. 
 Tinder WoT  
 My bf has been my brothers friend since middle school. Highest WoT! I agree 
 Yess this ! 🫂 that’s lovely 💜. Been thinking about asking my brother to set me up with one of the guys he plays football with for years - older than him - but nervous cos don’t want to make things awkward for him. 
 don’t be nervous, i think it’s the best way to find someone that will be good to you! 
 Agree 🙏🏽 my hearts in my throat and I feel sick, but gonna ask brother anyway 🥹🫂 don’t ask don’t get I suppose. Wish me luck! 🫂 
 i thought it’d be awkward for us, but it wasn’t! actually made us closer 
 My group of long-term women friends and I dealt with this issue. We’ve been friends since at latest early 20s. We are in our 40s now. 🙏

One of them dated the brother of another. They dated for two years and were happy. After the relationship ended there was an awkward standoff with those two. The other women and I finally mediated & we all are still close friends to this day. 🫂🫡

It can work. 

 
 What's Hinge? An app? 
 Dating app 🫂 I don’t use it, but it works for some people 🙏🏽 I like deep relationships so it’s no good for me. If you want light dating for fun its good though 
 I completely agree. Think about it, that app is basically called "bend over". Degenerate social conditioning everywhere. 
 👀 never noticed this before 🤣😂 ah man 🙏🏽 
 It makes sense in my opinion 💜 btw: How are the dates going? 
 Thank you, lovely 🥹🫂 ahh well, haven’t been on a date in almost two years 😁 I’m so rustyyy. Just gotta dust the rizz off is all 
 you have no hurry 🫂💜 
 Agree ☺️🫂🫂💯 focused on learning right now 💜 
 Completely agree, I thin k that's why so many internet arranged dates/relationships peter out. Nothing to bolster it.  
 Agree 🫂💯 my brothers are a tough judge of character too 🥹 can’t believe I didn’t think of it before 
 It can also be a great indicator how well your friends know you/how deep your relationship with them is.

If they set you up with someone completely wrong for you they aren't that good of a friend. 
 💯😂🫂 I’ve had this happen, but she knows me so well. Think she just set me up with someone she thought I should be with, rather than what I’d actually like 🥹🫂 
 That's fair. Better than the absolute opposite of everything you like/someone they wouldn't even date themselves. 🤣 
 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂💯 
 I keep coming back to the idea of a nostr dating app. On the one hand you want your WoT to inform your matches, on the other a separate npub would be nice for more privacy. It would be nice to use location to show people nearby, but that seems like a privacy mess.

I don't know if it'll happen, but hopefully someone is working on it.  
 It would be a really tricky one 🫂 but you never know 
 "What's the point of going out when you can just give me a call" 

        -All time low 
 👀🔥🫂🫂🫂 smooth criminal Jonathan, at it again 🫂 
 😘 
 So it’s my friends fault! I just have a lazy meatspace WoT

 As I have no idea what Hinge is then this automatically makes sense. Still, I trust my internal instincts when it comes to dating anyone.
