I ended up making a new profile with one of my middle names because apparently my first name, age and city narrows down to just one person (me) and this kept happening a lot.
It made me very uncomfortable every time. One of the people who stalked my Facebook to write "I saw you on Tinder and super liked you" would probably have gotten a match if I had seen his profile before it. So now I guess I don't filter out the stalkers as much, but I get more peace.
Maybe when you apply for a job, you can get an edge by contacting the recruiting company and telling them that you applied. Maybe. But don't do it to people on Tinder. They actively chose to use an app where only the people they chose to swipe right on can write to them.
They never did.
Just, finding my Facebook was far from the worst thing they could have done, so hiding my Facebook would only have protected me from unwanted messages. And unwanted messages are, in the context, relatively harmless.

Yeah, that's cool.
But where I live, it's possible to find a lot more than just social media. Once they knew who I was, they could find my address and could just as well have shown up there, if they had wanted to take the stalking a step further.
