Dating in the metaverse can weed out spammers and catfish through smart contracts.
Dating in the metaverse is here. But are you ready for it? Well, it doesn’t matter because it’s ready for you.
Looking for love on dating apps can be like rummaging through a trash can. But what if there are other ways to find love online? What if those ways involved all the things awesome nerds love…like the metaverse, NFTs, and cryptocurrencies?
It seems that the day has come when we can match our interests in the metaverse. There are a few ideas here, all in their absolute infancy. But they are convincing. So if you’re single and definitely not in love, read on.
Dating in the Metaverse: MetaMATCH
A new app called metaMATCH will be released at any time. The app is the brainchild of media personality Emily Lyons. She says she started metaMATCH because online dating lacks humanity.
“Until today, the online experience has provided many shortcuts, but it mostly connects people based on superficialities. We’ve become so obsessed with our personas online and the idea of perfection that many people lose sight of who they really are and the type of person they can have a meaningful relationship with.”
metaMATCH will roll out its functionality in the coming months. At first, you will match people based on the NFT communities they are in and the NFTs they have. The app can identify similarities based on shared psychographics and combine them based on that person’s unique online behavior. Lyons says the following:
The app is also a hybrid matchmaker. That is, users can schedule a coaching session with dating experts and get tips on how to have a good conversation, what to wear on a date, and how to stop being so anxious. So, if you are an enthusiastic NFT geek, get this app on your phone as soon as possible.
Dating with DAO
“Dating DAO” is a dating app like Tinder or Bumble but on the blockchain. Each DAO has rules and guidelines agreed upon by the DAO community and placed in a smart contract.
So why are they emerging as an alternative to existing Web 2.0 dating apps? Because people are falling out of love with swiping images.
The early days of Web 2.0 dating apps seemed to be exciting for the user. However, it has now been widely reported that these apps make people unhappy and don’t lead to hookups like they used to.
Dating app fatigue has definitely set in. So something new is definitely needed to fill the gap.
Members of a dating DAO can vote on how the DAO works. They can decide how people are matched with each other. If this process is a disaster, they can vote again to improve the process.
In closing, it’s worth considering that anyone who has used Web 2.0 dating apps knows that they are full of love scammers and people who want to get paid for sex. So maybe Web 3.0 dating could be a solution?
It’s the start of dating in the metaverse, however, the first baby born from this should have a cool name like X Æ A-12.
