Using fuzzy locations (not too accurate) just imagine being able to search for who is online or who is up for a meet on a map view. This feature alone could massively boost this site

I do agree this a very useful feature. And works well on other websites for hook ups (I won’t method the names).

Just not sure if the fab infrastructure is set up to deal with geo maps etc.

It's a privacy issue more than anything. Not everyone here is open.

Can you imagine knocking the door and a wife or partner who knows nothing asking you why you're there!?

I think you’re missinterpreting how this could be used.

The intention isn’t to show locations so you a person can randomly knock on a house and ask for sex 🙈

It’s there to show rough locations so you can asses travel etc.

From experience, other website allow you to “hide yourself” - for said privacy. And most don’t show an exact location , it’s always off centre for privacy too.

'Who's Nearby' barely works as it is...

Map locations would be just as dodgy I'm sure...

Well, 'privacy' is a non-issue.

This map search would be meant to be turned ON only when you want to meet, and assumming that the location given is that accurate (which it wouldn't be) you would to have to be the proud owner of an empty brain box to turn it ON while you're at home with your wife. No software can protect 'stupid' from their own stupitidity.

Reminds of a guy who put his face picture as his profile picture and then complained his mates from the pub recognised him.

if you're after 100% privacy the only solution is to stay out of the site, or even surer way is to stay off the internet altogether.

A map search is a great idea and shouldn't be that difficult to add to the site.
