I just saw a commercial for Match.com where you can now see where your matches are around town. It shows the location of peoplw you are matched with. Not sure if it is on real time or not. They showed this his guy saying "wow! I passed that match like 6 times today!"
Is it just me, or does this just scream potential danger? Now you can stalk your matches in real life, not just online before making contact.
As I said, I have obviously seen too many Criminal Minds, CSI, SVU etc. It just seems so unsafe and quite frankly intrusive to me.

Scary. What is really scary is that the younger crowd who have grown up with the Internet and technology think nothing of it. They don't know how to keep their private life private.

It's a bit much and it could be scary. |

I thought the same thing! I think it's a terrible idea! I'm going to ask my single friends what they think--I hope they don't use this feature.

Yes, sounds scary to me. Although I do watch too much Criminal Minds, especially when dh is traveling and I'm home alone watching episodes about women being stalked in their homes.  |

Oh no- I would never use that feature. I think there's a dating app that uses this concept, but we don't have it around here.
