I came across a post that talked about this app. It’s an app designed in the name of “female empowerment” by letting women endorse other guys they deem to be good to their other single friends.
And the guys on the app? They’re immediately told to be on their “best behaviour” and if they do so, they’ll earn rewards and points. This bit I find very condescending and not to mention misandric as it doesn’t mention any toxic behaviour that women do. It also gives off the vibes of the “Toronto Unhinged list” or “Are we dating the same guy.” list as well.

Dating is already hard enough for men out there, and this app will only make it needlessly harder. I wouldn’t be surprised if this app attracts only the feminist types as they’re the ones screeching about safety (Note: due to the expectation of men to initiate most things in dating and sometimes resorting to toxic methods to do so, I can understand women’s need to be safe in these interactions especially if a man can’t handle rejection, but I think the scale of safety is being inflated when you have apps or list like these.)
What are your thoughts on it? Do you think this app is a great idea to keep women safe or is it just another discriminatory practice against men and males?
@Mshuser
I think that the ideal app, would let everyone rate everyone else, same sex or not. If you as a woman really like a man. But, other men don’t like him, then it might mean that the other men know something about him that you don’t. If you as a man really like a woman, but other women don’t like her, then the ladies may know something that you don’t about her. So, you should actually be letting everyone rate everyone instead of artificially limiting the information available to people.
@Sewblon I don’t think rating people is the best way to go and it actually introduces more problems than you think. When you take sexual strategies into consideration, some people will use this app to discredit a completely innocent person for the sake of revenge or keeping some type of leverage. Human nature and motivation can manifest in different ways and we need to be mindful of that
