Just a wee suggestion, I use the app "what3words" location maps software to whithin 1 meter anywhere in the world.
I note that one of the alternatives in how this software operates can be used is that when a three word link is provided, the software then converts it into a google map showing the directions to that one meter square. Could something like this be integrating into this site, to save people from giving out addresses for meets in private messages. |

How would that work for people who live in flats?
And surely if you've arranged to meet someone at your home, then there's no difference in giving them the actual address. Private messages are private after all. Whether you're giving them an address or three words, you're telling them exactly where to go. |

Well ok but i guess its not just for peoples homes, it could be dogging or cruising.
Ok flats might be an issue, but for normal houses, the software takes you right to the door, not just on the street. So you could reduce the amount of private info you give out, and this software allows that.

You can just give them the three words in a private message. Job done |

Yes true lol silly me lol but if i had a pound for every person that said wtf what do i do with that, then id be minted, by integrating some of the code of the app into messages for example, the map gets delivered to the person as well, or at least a web address they can click on to bring up in their browser. |

I kind of get the concept for remote locations.
But personally I don't see the difference between giving an address and giving three words that takes you to the same street and house number/name. Once they arrive they'll know your address. And it can easily be viewed on a map in advance.🤷♂️
Plus....Imagine the nightmare if for some reason it sent them next door. 🤔🤔 |

I'd prefer investment to go to improving the basic site functionality that we don't have and has been asked for, for 10 to 15 years, such as giving us the ability to search on user data, that we've all added to our profiles.
With thousands of users, it's essential to be able to search and filter out the right people for your preferences. This is especially true when trying to filter the biggest group of people here, from amongst the single men. Making it easier, or just about possible, to search amongst these single men, for example, would improve the experience of those wanting to find them, as well as the single men themselves.
I'm much less inclined to support trying to integrate Fab with distinct other companies' services, when Fab simple features don't exist yet.
What3words is fairly easy to use and just needs 3 words to be given to someone. Its simplicity is likely fine for most people to manage. We also need to be aware of potential security issues and Fab would probably not want to be seen to be associated with individuals being placed at risk, because of some inadvertent link to a site that facilitated some harm being made to anyone. |

How to make something more complicated than it needs to be. No need at all for this |
