To make lichess a chess social network

The modern world demands this new product, the revolutionary concept of CSN (chess social network).

You log in your CSN and can share messages and photos, meet and play chess with people close to you, after finding him with the GPS system.

This will allow chess dates. To bring more sociable people and girls to the chess comunity should be a priority.

Enhance your social skills by interacting with people in the CSN.
hahahahaha a chess date.

"Lost a chess game? Feel dumb? Well now, thanks the CSN technology, you can find that son of a bitch that did that to you on a GPS and go kick his ass! Or at least try.

Was a straight male, but always secretly wanted to be gay? No problem! Go on a date with a dude that wants to fight you! Just don't raise your voice."

No, but in seriousness this is a dismal idea. The people who want to share who they are can already do so by putting their names, their chess titles, their facebooks, and whatever else they like in their profile description. And if you need to contact someone, you can already do that.

What I do think would be nice is, if eventually, this site would allow us to put pictures for our profiles. Or allow us to share a game we played on a social network like facebook of google+ with one click.
In my humble opinion... no social network for lichess.
lol! the lousiest place on this planet to cause attraction among girls might be a chess site (well, collecting stamps is a serious competition perhaps)
though some "touch of social media" would be nice, for example profile photos
with messaging from player to player a site should be careful, it can be also a burden, at chess.com you cannot play 30 games without some bullet player leaving a note in your profile saying something like "you fu.. fag..", the only chance at chess.com to come away is to allow only friends leaving notes
chess.com is to such great extent carrying abusive profile notes that normally the site should be forbidden to kids (perhaps thats why they did found chesskids.com or so)
yeah sometimes i wanna kill anonymous who left game without resignation.
Yeah and I think this site is social enough as it is.

With a profile (though no pic), following, notes, chat, and "play a friend" options....that;s good enough imo.
