Distance Reciprocity - users should only get to see other users’ distance if they are showing their own
Unless located in a country with anti-gay legislation, users hiding their distance should not get to see distance on other profiles. This would inspire a much-needed culture of fair play and reciprocity on the app, while also incentivizing members to stop hiding and stop wasting people’s time. (Not to mention that with distance shown on more profiles, browsing would be easier and the overall user experience would improve.)

This is a no brainer. Anyone saying "no I need this for privacy" is missing the point, or just exposing their own hypocrisy.
If you don't want to show yours that's fine — then you should be fine with not being able to see anyone else's. If this is something others don't NEED to see about you, you should be fine with not seeing it for anyone else.
If that bothers you, then why are you turning off yours?

With gas prices as high as they are, we need something like this. I'm not going to bother trying to meet someone who isn't willing to drive to me or I am unwilling to drive to because of the expense of having to buy gas just to meet up.

I like the idea of "mandatory" distance because I drive for work and I'm back and forth over about a 30 mile radius. When I get a break and open the app, I never know where I was when someone hit me up.. Maybe a compromise would be a setting for how close you want your distance displayed. Like under 1 mile or have the minimum be a mile. I have mine turned off only because it gets too close. Having someone show 200 ft away at times can be scary. Just have them show up as <1 mile.

Response to CK : NO, you cannot get implicit distance by comparing with profiles left and right, because some profiles don't appear in the list (they are in hiding). Mostly people who won't show their distance are fake profiles. There must be a way to curb them. It should be an option for anyone to just block off profiles that don't give automatic distance or that are over X km away. Full stop !! I can't see why this is not good use of developer resources...

This is not a good use of developer resources. You can get implicit distance of anyone by seeing the profile to the right and left that does have their distance enabled. This tells you the range that the profile’s distance falls in. Sometimes that range is so narrow that you effectively do know how far away they really are.

EVERYONE should have Mandatory Distance

Instead of a binary choice show/hide there should be an option for selecting an approximate distance (actual/ 100m/1km/10km/100km/none), applying both ways of course

Being able to access everybody's Distance by paying for Xtra is a silly idea. Everybody should have the right to drop out of view with a click, switching their Distance off when or if they feel unsafe with visibility in any environment. They should simply lose the visibility of others in their area for having that choice.

Distance has to be hidden at certain times for safety reasons. There's no getting around that fact, however .. we should all have the option to remain unsearchable to those who hide their Distance.

I'm sick of being pestered or baited into chat by out-of-towners who have their distance hidden. Its a shit move, and i state in Profile that i don't want their messages.
I think i should be able to hide my entire profile from everyone who operates with their Distance switched OFF.

If security is the concern, then at least make it where people that have their distance hidden always show "Less than 5 miles" or "Greater than 5 miles", "50 miles", "100 miles", etc.. I'm tired of being bothered by users and bots thousands of miles away. There needs to be some degree of information involved, even if not as specific.
