Where are all the feminists now? This is the perfect example of double-standards implied by women. Imagine an alternative scenario where men could rate their female counterparts on the basis of their 'assets' as defined by some vague methodology. Imagine how much fire under men would be, with ALL men being broadly labelled as sexists because this app was targeted at men. I am seriously asking - Where are all the femi…
And I find all this hilarious.

>Instead of blindly blaming feminists (without actually understanding what most feminists actually stand for) for them being on the marketplace Why do discussions like this always get such ridiculous strawman arguments tossed around? Nobody is blaming feminists. People are pointing out that the vocal, hateful group of internet "feminists" constantly claim they are against sexism in all forms, and thus men's rights ad…
Men's rights advocacy is, as a movement, pretty much the same thing as the whole "war on Christmas" crap that comes up on right wing TV every year. It has no legitimacy because it's not legitimate. Instead it is largely the same old prejudices, finding renewed strength under a thin mask of collective victimhood, desperately clung to.

Nope, a couple of unpopular blog posts is not something I wanted to see. I could have googled those myself. I was expecting a 'rage' unleashed - with just one question - 'How dare they do this!?' "How dare they do this to Gender 'x'" The same rage you saw previously when this happened to women.
Haha, Slate and Jezebel are unpopular. Nice trolling. (Oh crap, now I'm feeding the troll now, aren't I?)
As a guy, I couldn't care less that these kinds of things exist. This app will be used exclusively by a superficial audience who I would have absolutely no interest in meeting. If anything, I'd quite like to end up on this with extremely negative reviews just so the horrible people using this will stay the fuck away from me.
But then those people will talk to their friends, and so on. And, contrary to what you might think, there's plenty of highly educated women who are sufficiently steeped in feminism (due to the process of acquiring that higher education) to see this as perfectly fair payback for patriarchy's many evils, and to use it without regret. So you end up targeting a thin sliver of possible women: not too superficial, but not…
2. "Highly Educated" and "Decent, intelligent human being" are different things. It's nice when they collide, but they don't always.
3. Not all education leads to idiotic opinions like these.
Other than that, obviously everything you've said there is totally true, in that I think that covers everything you've said there.

Imagine you were going to go out on a date with a new woman and you knew there was a "review" of her online that you could download for free in 10 seconds. Would you not be tempted to at least look? I mean you know it's just superficial crap, but you might have a look; just for laughs of course.. Or you meet a new girl out somewhere and get her phone number, then your buddy comes to you and says "haha, dude that chic…
And if my 'buddy' said that he'd get a polite "fuck off".

so now a socially awkward attempt to start a conversation with a woman means you're a rapist...
No, not what the GP said. Simply put, women are overly cautious when evaluating men because they know that they are not very well protected by the law (in as much as the threat of punishment acts as a deterrent, an idea for which the jury is still out) when it comes to rape, so they have to protect themselves by using any little indicator to hint that they are in the presence of a pervert. This is not particularly fa…
I've known a number of women that tend to avoid the socially smooth guy because they see it as a mask for other sexual behaviors. I'm sure much of these types of judgments come from personal past interactions regardless of which direction they tend. Yay for anecdotal evidence!
I think some women are going to love this.... until someone builds the site that sits on the other side of the coin.
There were a lot of websites like this (anonymous gossip) when I was in college that would come up, get really popular and then someone would get a lot of flack, be emotionally traumatized, and the universities would petition for a take down. All it will take is one suicide to tear this app down.

Not to mention, female privilege lets them call men "creepers" or "perverts" without question. I've pressed female friends about this and they just answer with "I didnt like the look he gave me" or "we just didnt click." So instead of understanding that most people are not compatible, we're now building a db to slander them based on purely emotional reasoning? If women are using this then it says a lot about the woma…
Until we, as a society, can stop blaming women for their rapes (she was so sloshed, what did she think would happen when she got into bed with him?) women are going to be EXTREMELY conservative about these kinds of things. When it's your fault if he rapes you, you put "creepy" on a hair trigger.

- playing on a sports team (I'm Canadian, so I like to pick on hockey players, but this happens in other sports as well).
- working on oil rigs.
- abusing heavy drugs.
- working in sales.
- being too smooth.
- practicing that moronic "treat girls like your sister and insult them" pick-up method.
Long story short, there are many, many indicators of inappropriate sexual behaviour.
