Dating apps have changed the dynamics of relationships. Finding someone you like is pretty easy nowadays. Especially, during the covid period, the demand for dating apps increased big time.
However, a US man wasn’t lucky to find anyone on a dating app and what he did was a little too extreme, if you ask us.

This man decided to sue a Denver-based dating website over an alleged lack of women in the database. The operator is being sued by one of its customers who has alleged the website has very few women, reported Denver Post.
In the lawsuit, 29-year-old Ian Cross has alleged that HMZ Group, which runs The Denver Dating Co., has exaggerated the true nature of its database. Cross is seeking damages from the company because he is convinced their platform has very few registered women. He also said the company is guilty of fraudulent inducement and deceptive trade practices, said reports.

The Denver Dating Co. doesn’t operate like a regular dating app or website. It’s a members-only service that requires new users to go through an extensive screening process before their application and profile are verified and made active.
The hopeful man paid $9,409 for site membership and was granted access to the site in February, only to find there were five women in the 18 to 35 age range active in the database, the lawsuit claims.

Cross’ lawyer, Eric Coakley, told BusinessDen his client contacted the company about the lack of users and was told it was “working on it”, The Denver Post reports. The company then allegedly stopped all communication and ignored Cross’ request for a refund, at which point he filed the lawsuit.
Well, we hope that Cross finds himself, someone, he deserves.
