We’ve all heard of unusual ways people try to find love—speed dating, matchmaking events, even love spells (yes, really).
Some people swipe endlessly on dating apps, while others rely on quirky online posts to grab attention.
But one woman’s approach had netizens raising eyebrows. Instead of casual chats or dating profiles, she decided to create an online form for those interested in being her life partner.
What started as an unconventional love search quickly turned into a privacy nightmare.
An online form for love?
The woman took to platform X to announce that she was looking for a partner but wasn’t sure how to introduce herself. So, she came up with a solution—an application form where interested candidates could submit their details.
At first, it seemed like an amusing, if not a little desperate, attempt at modern matchmaking. But then, netizens took a closer look at the form—and that’s when the alarm bells started ringing.
A bit too much information?
The form didn’t just ask for basic details like name and interests. It went much further, requesting highly personal information such as:
- Full name
- Salary amount
- Date of birth
- Hometown
- Home and work address
That’s right—she wanted to know how much money you make before even going on a date.
Many people were baffled. If the goal was to get to know someone, why not just exchange social media handles or have a conversation first? Netizens felt this was less about romance and more about data collection.
Legal and privacy concerns
As discussions grew, people pointed out that asking for such sensitive information could potentially violate the Personal Data Protection Act. While dating apps have privacy policies in place, a random online form does not.
Beyond the legal risks, the bigger concern was how this information could be misused. Salary details, addresses, and personal data in the wrong hands could lead to identity theft, scams, or even unwanted contact from strangers.
Some netizens speculated that anyone who filled out the form might start receiving spam calls—or worse, be targeted by scammers pretending to be interested in them.
Was it ever about love? Netizens smell a business scheme
Then came the plot twist—some online users discovered that the woman was selling gold. This led to a growing suspicion that she wasn’t actually looking for a life partner but was instead collecting potential client data for her business.
People began to suspect that once she had their details, she would reach out to “potential matches” not to plan dates, but to pitch gold sales. What started as a matchmaking attempt now looked more like a sneaky marketing strategy.
Following the backlash, netizens warned others to be more cautious when sharing personal details online. While the search for love can be unpredictable, one thing is certain—your personal information should be treated like a prized possession, not something to be handed out to strangers.
