Shamelessness as a strategy (2019)

Anecdotally, this also seems like a good strategy for dating. Being up-front and clear about your intentions rather than beating around the bush, frequent shameless flirting, and complete honesty about who you are make for a good recipe. If the person suits you it accelerates things, and if you're not compatible you can move on quickly.

I haven't seen it having a "flare" effect like the article mentions, but could see it working that way in the right circumstances.

Not sure I agree.. maybe shame and shyness are being conflated here. My read of the article was that this shamelessness was in context of society at large -- kind of sociopathic almost.

In dating, there is no shame that way -- it's a perfectly acceptable behaviour many people engage in.
