I’m sure other people have answers about why they’d prefer not to have people book meetings based on attraction, but I’d like to say I support this kind of thing being reported to the Community Health team. The EAG team have repeatedly asked people not to use EAG or the Swapcard app for flirting. 1-1s at EAG are for networking, and if you’re just asking to meet someone because you think they’re attractive, there’s a good chance you’re wasting their time. It’s also sexualizing someone who presumably doesn’t want to be because they’re at a work event. Reporting this kind of breach of EAG rules seems entirely appropriate!

Oh yeah, if you’re referring to it being at conferences, I can see that.
I don’t agree, but I can at least see why. Thanks for clarifying.
