It’s a freelance hooker app. The article is trying to spin it as apple pie.

Did she think the guy was on an app looking for a potential spouse? So aghast, he’s only supposed to buy me drinks and dinner.

What kind of woman would agree to go on a “paid date” for $600 and think there would be no expectation of a score? Is “Tara” really that thick headed?
To: Talisker
Another article refers to Ohlala as “Uber for escorts”. Clever - with either app you pay for a ride.

Put this in a pile with Dating Naked and FarmersOnly.com as things I can’t believe actually exist.
To: Jack Hydrazine
I would think a guy would have to be pretty rich and/or desperate to pay $600 for a date (+ dinner, drinks & transportation) that may not go anywhere. Especially if he has to pre-pay.
My take is that these women are escorts, but not necessarily prostitutes. They are not the latter because they get paid up front and have the discretion not to do the act. It is still unseemly though. Plus the man is at risk for blackmail if he is married.

I’m surprised it took this long. In fact, I’m surprised I didn’t think of it myself.

$600 and she didn’t have sex? She still f***ed him ;-)

I’m having trouble figuring out this idiot “Tara” who thinks she should be paid $600 just to go out on a date.
Not that I have any experience with these things, really, but the eye of paying someone $600 just to take them to dinner seems pretty absurd.

One more reason for guys to stay away from Millennial women. “We’ve settled what you are, now we’re just haggling over the price.”
