this is basically allowing heterosexuals to behave like homosexuals.

homos want it whenever, wherever, with whoever, no questions asked, no relationships, etc. when heteros adopt the core of the gay lifestyle - whenever, wherever, whoever - they are acting like homos.

Not good for society. No upsides.

Gee, our neighbors have a wienerdog that would just love one of these new Apps!
(although, he seems to do very well without one, too....so maybe it is just the rejects or retards of the human species that need this?)

All Hail Modern Technology!!

It says you can filter based on sex. Can you likewise filter based on skin color? Or is that “wrong”? How about age?

What’s X42’s user name?

This will be out in a few days. 11K words.

“They’ve enlisted female sexologist Carol Queen to help them reach women”

Bwa ha ha, I see they’ve discovered the bottleneck in their app. In spite of cultural and technological change, they still can’t get women to sign up.

Women don’t need their app to find men willing to have sex.

[TurboZamboni]

Wouldn't it be easier to just look for a sign?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Plus, I suspect that with women, you still have to say stuff like, "Hey, I like you -- would you like walk around and talk? " or "You're --- really --- above average. I'd like to get to know you." "You seem --- I don't know --- like something (sigh) special."

As the say, once you can fake spontaneity, you've got it made.

I take it you've never actually met Grams Pelosi even after her generations of 'service'. Or smelled madam Janet "Twitchy" Reno, up close and personal.

Sex, without strings or any due diligence.

What could possibly go wrong?

[Yaelle]

Bring back the bathhouses and glory holes!! Cause no one died from those!

Oh, wait...

[servo1969]

What could go wrong?

[krunkygirl]

I like “i42”.

never let that man escape the stigma

Phone numbers on bathroom stalls seems so quaint.

Women like Pelosi and Reno substitute power for sexual gratification so that type won’t be signing up.

Attractive women don’t need an app to find partners and those are exactly the women they need to make it attractive to the type of men who would sign up for it.

Men have been trying to invent a way to have responsibility and consequence free sex for thousands of years and crashed multiple civilizations as a result.

It’s a losing investment because it’s trying to overcome the most basic of biological gender differences with technology.

Good luck with that.

[Billthedrill]

Well, I made the necessary entries. It would appear that the closest individual compatible with my tastes is a toothless Kyrgyzstani sheepherder with a bum leg and a thing for feather boas and cheez whiz.

Fortunately she has a phone number.

Yeah, that will never happen. Heteros are much more discriminating. Some very naive men may fantasize that their “dream girl” will show up. A far more likely scenario: use one of these apps and find that car that pulls up is driven by a 300 lbs, 50ish woman whose face could stop a truck. Ickers.

[Secret Agent Man]

no it is happening, check craigslist.
