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 woman. I imagine the women drawn to this are difficult anyway. This problem kind of solves itself. I doubt this app can help them and its a symptom of a very negative attitude toward dating and, frankly, socially acceptable misandry.
Though it is not at all appropriate to share such information on a public online forum.
- Did the hot date you were kind of into try to touch your boob without asking you? Creepy! (acceptable)
- Did the ugly guy two tables over compliment you on your looks when you were both trying to get a drink at the bar? Creepy! (not so acceptable.)
- Did the guy you were dating for a few months ask you for a 5' in-person conversation after you decided to break up out of the blue over SMS? Creepy! (that one happened to me and I felt personally threatened by this woman's implicit threat of slander)
It's also interesting how prevalent the notion of "creepyness" is in the US. Whereas in other cultures the same guy would be considered annoying, inconvenient, misguided or justifiedly threatening, here a blanket term is applied and everyone accepts it. The same principle applies to a lot of emotional stuff, where Americans apply very coarse "pattern matching" to behaviors that other cultures are way more nuanced about.
When it's your fault if he rapes you, you put "creepy" on a hair trigger.
Also, this app is to rate men. Its not an anti-rape app. Stop playing the rape card to defend every lousy idea.
Before anyone jumps the gun, I'm not saying that someone raped while drunk is at fault. Only that this is a bad example of someone acting cautious at all. Caution and being protective (or the lack there of) != fault.
Just in case you are unaware of this, most women I know and have discussed this with agree that social awkwardness in men is often correlated with inappropriate sexual behaviour, so yes, if you make an awkward attempt at conversation, you are probably going to get negatively labelled. May I suggest working on your social skills if this bothers you?
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!
- 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.
Too smooth? What is the right amount of smooth?
That's a contradiction in terms.
As for the startup/app itself, it's the natural evolution of taking HotOrNot ratings + OKCupid profiles + Fuckedcompany gossip and building it into a neat package. There is certainly a demand for apps like this in the market but if you're a user, try to be nice even if you don't like someone. People can become really mean when anonymous.
