Outrage over ‘Live Tinder’ stunt
A WOMAN caused mass confusion after tricking dozens of single men into converging on the same spot in New York by setting up separate dates with each of them.
The woman in question goes by the name Natasha Aponte on social media and describes herself as an actor, model, singer and world traveller.
As part of an elaborate dating stunt Ms Aponte reached out to multiple men on Tinder and asked them to meet her at Union Square before going on a date to watch her friend DJ.
But none of the men who showed up had any idea about the Hunger Games-style stunt their date had in store.
While some men left as soon as they realised what was going on, others took part in the game.
One of the guys who stayed, Nicholas, told the Gothamist that she started to name things she didn’t like in a man and ordered people to leave if they fit that description.
“She started calling the different characteristics she doesn’t like. ‘If you’re Puerto Rican and support Trump leave.’ ‘If you have a long beard leave.’ Then she did a competition,” he told the publication.
“The gist of it was she wanted to do Live Tinder. Folks were pretty mad.”
He said the men who stayed and competed for a date with Natasha were made to do things like push-ups and races.
It is unclear whether she actually found a date, but she has certainly left many upset men in her wake.
