Has anyone built nostr dating app??

It’s an effective way to grow the nostr community 
 Would get spammed hard 
 Great! Getting things hard it’s part of the idea 
 This would be a great app, IMO. I haven't dated in 20 years though, so I could be wrong here 🤣 Anyways, who's going to build it?

 Normal dating apps are on the way out I think. 

Nothing beats good old-fashioned meetups. Then you must need the courage to talk to the few girls there. 

I hear if you snag yourself a Bitcoin woman early, her value goes up over time, not unlike the Bitcoin you both likely have stashed away. 
 Do Bitcoin women exists? Asking for a friend… 
 Girls 

Men date women … not girls. This is a hill I’ll die on. 

Unless you all are fine being called Boys. If that’s the case … bless your heart. 
 .....okay?

I really wasn't that invested in it.  
 Many aren’t. Hence the reason there isn’t equality between the sexes. Not sorry. 
 Equality will never exist between the sexes. Men will always treat women differently than other men and women will always handle men differently than their fellow women. 

Both men and women have the same intrinsic value as humans but they will always and permanently be valued for different things. 

 Nor am I sorry for speaking off-the-cuff. Reading your notes, you seem to be a pretty cynical person so I'm not surprised I triggered you with such an inocuous and lighthearted statement. 
 Oh, Boy! 
 How do you envision #Nostr improving current dating apps? What would be the unique selling point? 
 For what ? So she knows what to target ? Date a strange girl that already knows you're a bitcoiner or hold anything of value is huge desadvantage for you. 
 Agree there. It probably would attract quite a few people for nefarious reason, especially now that Nostr is still mostly used by bitcoiners.  
 Bitcoin Timelock

#nostrlovers 
 If I have to use timelock for that, better to stay single.

 Yes 
 I think it’s a great idea. 
Features I think it should have:

It should go hand in hand with powerful keyword search across Nostr and within profiles / user history. 

Integrate users’ typical Nostr profile / history, but also include a “dating profile bio” that’s visible only in the app

Other things that should be a separate “layer(?)” in the app only:  
Age, sex, seeking, etc. 
Possibly some prompts users can choose to answer and their answers 

As someone who spent years on dating sites and is fully aware of their many problems, yet still found her husband on one, I have many suggestions if you want to pick my brains, devs. 
 321 guys and 3 girls ... hmm. 
 Yeap!! Girls are in power!!
We need to multiply and grow the community.
