Computers & Internet Tinder

Probably more a question for the ladies of the thread.

Has any man ever written to you like they are writing a screenplay (example below) and if so have you EVER found it to be appealing (obviously below is a ridiculous example but just for context)

People hand over their phone numbers to checkout clerks for "reward" points?

Think it’s in the states but I’m sure there was a story here about a booking dude at a restaraunt doing something similar

Pretty sure it was the COVID venue record stuff, the waiter or something used the number to try to contact the person.

Pretty sure using personal information for a purpose it was not intended for is a breach of the Privacy Act in Australia.
And creepy AF.

Mine was always one per month

It's like with superlikes it used to be 5 every 6 hours

It depends on the city etc

Cost for most features changes depending where you are how popular etc

I have 5 super likes a day
1 boost a month

Interesting

As well as a QR code we have hard copy Covid checkin sheets at work (public library). When a sheet is full we scan it to one folder and then shred the hard copy. I'd be pretty upset if someone grabbed someone else's details off the sheet.

its changed about 4 years ago to 5 superlikes every 12 hours then I think 2 years ago to every 24 hour

I had a mate in London who only gets 1 every day

I'm sure it'll happen somewhere. or anywhere given enough time. I actually did a double take when filling out the form at the barbers a few weeks back.

Reminds me of an anecdote from years ago: Where I worked at the time there was a board in the supervisors office where you jotted down where you were if you were away from the section. Everyone's square had their home phone number printed on it in case the shit hit the fan (it was that kind of job).
One day one of our co-workers, who also happened to be involved with Amway, made note of everyone's home phone number and the next Friday night he rang around everybody, offering a "unique business opportunity". Fair to say there was a quite lengthy queue on the Monday morning of folks seeking further robust discussion on the matter!

Ugh Amway. That is a pretty bad breach of trust. I'd be pretty pissed off with that. I have a database with all the Library borrowers in South Australia and I would get my butt fired if I used any of that information for dodgy purposes.

QR code and sheet is not mandatory in my libraries but I would say 75% of customers do one method as they come in the doors.

"Curvy"

Means anything from 'resembling a 50s pin up girl' to 'I am the reason Sizzler's business model is no longer sustainable'

Let's be real, 99 times out of 100 it's the latter.

I don't know why anyone would choose to describe themselves as curvy on a dating app. It's not a personals ad in the paper. People can see you.

If a girl is curvy (or not) in the traditional sense and has a photo that's not a head shot, you can work it out for yourself.

If a girl is curvy in the body positivity sense, well...

Fake ages and heights is also more weird shit people do. I've seen a girl I know pop up a bunch of times with various ages from 29-36, despite actually being 38/39. And she's not a babyface either.

I’m not sure what apps or sites you’re on, but whatever they are, you should probably avoid them if this is a common occurrence

If their profile says they're 18+ and their bio says 'I'm actually 16' you need to run away ASAP.

On another app I’ve seen 2 people I know who are listed as 26. One went to school with me so they were either 8 years younger than everyone else at school or...The other is now 40 Although that is an app where everyone wants someone under 30...
