This is a nightmare. Some mentally deficient vigilante with delusions of grandeur and a fist full of painkillers would use this as a hit list.

Finally i have a way to explain my feeling about this. This is just yelp for people. Yet another attempt to rate people. Didn't Candance owebs try to make something like this years ago but for reporting racists?
"What clubs does he go to?" another person asked on a different post. "He’s cute."
Clubs? Are we in the 90ies?
So this is an app that allows mass stalking/harassment. Imagine if men did this to women, the outcry would never end 😂
:(
Some of us
What? What term would be preferable to you?
Young people are being ‘priced out of nightlife’Turns out Gen Z aren’t boring – we’re just poor ❤️
Gen Z Man Reveals What Really 'Killed Club Culture'
etc., you get the hint.
A study recently linked it to
- affordance (see above)
- better general consciousness for health vs. alcohol
- less tolerance for drunken slipups due to social media
Oh. So, you're saying you don't go to clubs. I thought you might have been saying it's an outdated expression.
Alright then, carry on.

viral aka. gossip. some can't get enough
So how this app work? Women take pics of men they see in public then rate them? Can someone explain how this keeps women safe?
I have no personal experience with the app at all, so what I am about to say comes from things I heard, or inferences I've made about the app - but...
I see the merit of an app like this for keeping people safe, but have no idea how it could be used without any possibility of it being abused.
On the face of it all, basically, if a man is abusive or in any way dangerous, or raises "red flags" for women, this app can help other women be aware. Lots of narcissistic assholes come across as lovely people at the start, but by the end are abusive people. My wifes ex husband, is one example, of a psychopathic narcissist. If only we could utilise an app like this to let other women know just who he is, and what to watch out for...
On the other side of it, of course, it's all too easy to say someone is abusive or dangerous to defame or isolate that person. Women have the ability to be just as abusive as men. An abusive woman may use this app to make other women in their community scared of/avoidant of a man who isn't in any way a danger to anyone.
Basically, my understanding of the app is that it allows women to give information about men they know and have dated, so other women can get a sort of background check on said men
But this, of course, could easily be misused and abused.
The app also required photo ID to prove you were a woman using the app, which recently was breached and ALL of the ID that was submitted is now viewable by anyone. So... yeah
More like women can create a profile for men in their lives, and other women can share their experiences with that man. It’s sort of a publicly sourced Burn Book. It was apparently started because the creator’s mom had some bad dating experience, and basically lamented about how there wasn’t a good way for women to share stories about the men they’ve dated. Like “wouldn’t it be nice if women could stick red flags to a dude, to warn his potential partners in the future?”
So if a dude is an abuser, his victims can create a profile for him, where other women can share their experiences too. If a dude cheats, he can be put on blast for other women to see. It’s basically an “is anyone else dating this man” local Facebook group, but much larger and more in-depth.
There are some ethical concerns about it, especially regarding potential abuse; There’s nothing stopping an abusive woman from wrecking her ex’s future dating life by lying about him. But the women using the app basically say that the potential safety in dating outweighs the potential for abuse.
the women using the app basically say that the potential safety in dating outweighs the potential for abuse.
Of course they do, they're getting safety and somebody else is getting abuse.
“wouldn’t it be nice if women could stick red flags to a dude, to warn his potential partners in the future?”
Nope. Personal bias and people change.

There is a video in the article, where a a woman says "are we dating the same guy?". Like women don't date multiple men.
Apart form that, things never say secret, soon or later will come out.
