A bitter ex could make up a lot of shit just to ruin a guy's life. This would only work if all posters were acting in good faith, which, of course, they won't all be.

And in the world of dating, where people are nervous, uncomfortable, and trying to figure out if things work out or not, even someone acting in good faith could end up writing something about a previous date that screws over their date's reputation unfairly through no fault of their own.

All it takes is for one woman to say that you were awkward and there goes your dating future? Maybe you were nervous cause you just endured a family tragedy. Or who knows what else? You literally never get a chance to make a first impression, and that's not a good thing.

I already find it to be kind of questionable to do stuff like Googling a potential date before meeting them, and I could certainly see a case where something like this protects women (i.e. if a guy is abusive), but there's just so much opportunity for shit to go wrong. Gossip is already a big problem, groupthink is a big problem, making decisions based on unverified witness testimony is a big problem, and this app seems like it's combining all three.

And, of course, what is there stopping a man from getting on there and spreading misinformation?
