I'm sorry for misgendering maymay. Kinja has a timeout for editing posts, otherwise I'd go back and edit.

That is exactly my point.

And what does the fact that it's not tell you about these sites?

Agreed - and I think that's the thing that really strikes me the most about it: I like the idea of a tool that takes the answers to these questions - questions that are not just telling on their own, but have been used in psychological tests to determine someone's degree or placement of sexual aggressiveness or…

Thanks for chiming in! Much appreciated, and happy to have you in the discussions. I know there's been some conversation about whether or not the tool harvests the data provided in order to match potential abusers as a user scans profiles - if you have more on the topic to dispel that fear, I'd love to highlight it!

It's a cool tool, no doubt. If people are worried this is their only way to scan for this sort of thing, there are a couple questions like "if you had an identical twin who was a virgin, would you let them swap places with you without telling your partner, so that they could lose their virginity?" and "if no one would…

You're too kind, thank you. :)

I don't spend much time here on Lifehacker (although I always enjoy visiting), but I have to say that I really appreciate and admire the way you are handling this.

Hah - to be fair, there's nothing specific about the genders of the questions involved. If the person who owns the profile responded to the questions about sex and consent, then the tool will highlight worrysome answers, regardless of the person's gender. :)

I live on the West coast of FLORIDA now. There IS no algorithm strong or efficient enough to week out all the looney tunes here. :-D

Read how it works. It's not like "what color do you like" quizzes, it's "have you ever forced someone into sex" quizzes. I think that's pretty damned valuable.

Anyone remember True.com? THe one who "verified" members to ensure they weren't felons, married, using an alias, etc.? Well, through them, I met a military deserter, a married guy using an alias who was running from child support enforcement, someone who couldn't drive anymore EVER, due to multiple felony DUI…

Now if their OKC profile pic looks anything like these, you definitely have a predator.

Exactly. That's kind of the kicker here - the tool flags against questions that people have already answered on their profile - and it only flags them for YOU, the viewer, so it's not like there's some worry that being represented in a specific way is going to be detrimental to your life or career - aside from the…

The questions are in OK Cupid's pool of questions, so it's not only people installing the app that see them. Presumably if people encounter the questions over time they wouldn't be so strategic as to lie consistently all the time? In many parts of the world, surveys did show that some people have really messed up…
