Women on the Tea App Are Red-Flagging Men for Liking Pokémon

OffbeatImagine this app existing for the opposite sex.
How is this even implemented? How do you keep a certain sex off of the app? Especially trans people, what do they do with them? And non-binary people too.
Wasn't that the app that leaked a massive database of women's IDs?
Just checked, it happened twice. https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Tea_Dating_Advice
I think that leak is probably why this kind of analysis is possible at all.
Is there a dating app just for geeks and nerds? Easy as hell to find like-minded men; I haven't talked to any like-minded women since high school. I don't really like hanging out with super serious people. They never laugh at my jokes.

It has an fdroid application and their whole thing is about being open source and ad free, so I assume the people using it are one of us

*edit
the app is a waste of time, fails to create an account but you can on the website. then fails to log in.
stick to the website and create a webapp for it
I don't care. Why would you want to be with a woman who isn't accepting of pop culture?
Even grandmas play Pokemon Go GTFO of here.
Because it's dumb? Idk.
Be thankful that the app is filtering out the bad apples in advanced.
Slow news day
Clearly the author pulled a Slowpoke card
The app is women-only. If you’re a man, you can’t download it, can’t search it, and can’t respond to anything on it.
So ... what's stopping men from setting up a burner device, pretending to be a woman, and using the app?
Hell, for that matter, it would probably be very beneficial to set up some sock-puppet accounts to post glowing 'green flag' reviews of yourself.
I guess, if you're that into the waspish drama-queens that gossip more than breathe, sure. Got a thing for Karens, Jessicas, et al?
It would be really nice if this could exist without being petty. I dated a guy who lied to me about having been in jail for nearly two decades for beating his mother to death, and I would love to be able to warn others about him. I have a google alert set up for his name and got a ping a few years ago that he was arrested for violating a restraining order taken out by the woman he dated after me and felt awful that I wasn’t able to warn her.
It’s both predictable and annoying that people are using it to be petty, but the concept is still useful, even if some use it in a way I find shallow. I don’t think it’s wild to imagine that some women would see this report and take it as a green flag. I met up with my husband for the first time after we matched on a dating app to play magic the gathering with him, so I know that some women look for nerds when dating. I previously went on a date with a different guy to play magic (I like seeing how someone plays, wins, and loses, plus it’s a low pressure first date activity that helps ease conversation), and he showed me his Khorne tattoo. He said he just really identified with the character when I asked why he had chosen Khorne, and I absolutely took that as a red flag, not because it’s nerdy, but because I don’t want to date someone who identifies with Khorne.
I would 100% support a twin app for men about women, to be clear, and I don’t know what the solution would be for non cishetero dating, but I wouldn’t be against any of them.
Chuds already did that, furious at the idea that women were talking to each other about men and even doing things they don't approve of.
Edit: awww the Lemmycels are mad ;)
I don’t know any single guys that collect Pokémon cards. I know two guys that collect Pokémon cards, are married and have children. Maybe women don’t want autistic children because likelihood of that is admittedly increased in this small sample. They’re missing out but you can’t force people to like something they don’t.
