Ryan checks out the singlespot map and notices a large group of single ladies checked into a place.
Ryan's profile contains fake pictures of him allowing him to check in and see who's in there without exposing himself.
Ryan notices one of the single women that checked in and proceeds to watch her all night as she gets dangerously intoxicated.
Ryan follows her and makes his move.
- matt-attack 8y agoCouldn’t Ryan do that to any woman in a bar today without the app?
- klank 8y agoI had that first reaction. But, I think there might be something different for Ryan in this case. Specially, Ryan might view the interaction he had, despite being under false pretense, as a legitimate personal connection to the individual. i.e. the online checkin might be a trigger for stalking behavior that simply being in the same physical presence might not be. I mean, maybe this isn't a big deal. But I do think it could potentially be different.
- PJDK 8y agoSurely Ryan could do this at any bar without the aid of an app?
- metalliqaz 8y agoRyan doesn't need the first two sentences. He can just go to the current trendy bar or club in town.
- grawprog 8y agoYeah, but a map identifying a bar that has a large number of single people helps. Especially when it comes with pictures you can use to identify those people and possibly other personal information. Say tracking a specific individual over places they check in over a period of time, stuff like this.
- metalliqaz 8y agoIt doesn't sound like Ryan cares if they are single.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoRyan likes to optimize things and doesn't want to waste time and money at a bar if there's no possible "matches".

- projektfu 8y ago> Ryan notices one of the single women that checked in and proceeds to watch her all night as she gets dangerously intoxicated. This part is not enabled or disabled by a dating app. Ryan can do the same thing by hanging around bars and following their patrons around. I do think, though, that the problem is that some men seem to develop unhealthy obsessions with pictures of women they haven't yet met, and that stalkers will definitely spring from this app if it gains traction.
- capsulecorp 8y agoI've witnessed the same unhealthy obsessive behavior in Women.
- bsamuels 8y agoMaybe only show the pictures once the user is within 200 feet of the location, then they don't have time to develop an unhealthy obsession with the pics
