This is satire of how misogynistic geek culture can be, right? Because this couldn't possibly be serious?

right?

girls are going to love this

We are looking into making it gender-neutral, because outside of it being targeted at guys, we totally think this is something girls would love to use too!

Even with the background picture of the woman?

If my girlfriend ever found out I was using this she would literally kill me.

It that is true, you are in an abusive relationship.

Leave.

This is extremely disrespectful to women. They aren't objects.

Guys are already talking to each other about the girls they hookup with -- we just made the process more digital and secure.

you could make a facebook for white supremacists and say you weren't encouraging racism, just making the process more digital and secure.

She won't let me she said she would kill me if I ever left.

I think that the US is just really afraid to talk openly about our relationships with other people.

Is this a fucking joke? Who needs this? This is not only classless, but from a purely objective standpoint, who would actually use this thing? With your target demographic in mind, it seems to me like it will turn into the greasiest, skeeziest, cesspool on the entire internet in no time.

Before we publish to the App Store, we will be finding a more gender-neutral but still eye-catching background image for the launch page :)
