It would be nice if there were privacy-non-abusive dating sites (since IMO dating in itself does require sharing bits of you publicly to make matches). I recall a few WIP projects but can't find them now.

Of course... The bigger issue is the network and usage effect. I'm not interested in Test Test in X,-Y!

I wonder what secret requirements (e.g. maximum length) they have. Some sites don't tell you these until you try to register.

edit: apparently none

Thanks for the tips! I agree with the idea to have a separate unique email address for registration on dating sites. I like visiting different mn hookup websites, so I have that separate address. It's also important to choose a reliable dating source.
