There are companies which hold details of your credit history and simply by contacting them you can check your financial status. How about companies whch hold details about your relationship history? If you are an habitual cheat you could even get the relationship equivalent of bankruptcy?
From now on all you have to do is contact these companies and you could find out if a potential partner really is telling the truth when they say they've never had a one night stand. It would make our love lives much easier and you could weed out the cheats right from the very beginning and simply decline their application! Good idea or invasion of privacy?

I always though that the
'Ladies Room Grapevine`
handled that social function.

The idea is a good one - but the reality is it probably wouldnt work. As already said - people would misuse such a system and would feed it false information, some would end up 'bankrupt' unfairly, others would jump the net - and then the system would be open to being held liable for misinformation - I could imagine many flaws. However I like the idea it would save many a broken heart.

Something like this has been tried in the past. I, for one, think it's a great idea (that's the beauty of capitalism) but it does have its problems:
How can one verify that it's even correct? Someone could make up "data" out of spite.
Even if one could verify this, how would the score be assigned? Is cheating on a partner who has cheated on you as negative as cheating on a loyal partner?
How do you build up (positive) points?
Just some things I think would have to be addressed.

well its a great idea. if we did that then we would all be bankrupt cause we have all made mistakes and you know the company would keep it on your record for years.
noone would tust each other and relationships would have to have agreements before we got started. well it seems its near like that now..
sorry a bad idea with good intentions

Problem would be getting actual "honest" information. Who is giving this info?Getting "simple" answers to your financial situation isn't free. Read the disclaimers for this "free" service.
