I agree, first of all the ID verification, but I agree that people might be willing to present their ID in order to obtain compromising information that can be used in such a manner than is not traceable back to them.
In one respect my response is caveat emptor. Life, including love, is risky. And I don't think it's in the spirit of Bitcoin to protect other people from themselves.
Typically security like this, from serpentine behaviour, comes from networks where repeated interactions around shared activities allows participants to identify habitually good actors or trustworthy actors. This is extremely difficult to achieve in the context of a dating app, where dating is explicitly the goal as opposed to something that happens as an outcome of another goal that is more efficient at identifying good actors.
So in the absence of a good game that users can play, as a proxy for identifying honest actors, the app could identify patterns of behaviour that are often associated with cat fishing and pig butchering, and then warn stackers incessantly.
Well, you could make it super exclusive by requiring people to put up some kind of bitcoin bond--in order to see the 1btc people, you have to put up 1btc, etc...
But honestly, if I was in the dating world, I would choose to take my risks at the bar, rather than via advertising my stack.
