Woman Uses Tinder to Trick Dozen of Men Into Massive Dating Competition

woman brings 200 men to Union square in New York City for live tinder

Dating in 2018 is hard. No one can argue that. Even with the help of dating apps like Tinder, Bumble or Coffee Meets Bagel, meeting your one true love online can be a crapshoot. 

According to Gothamist, a man identified as Spencer tweeted his story about the epic scam that one woman apparently perpetrated on 200 unsuspecting potential suitors she met on Tinder. 

"I am about to tell you an epic tale about subterfuge, dating in the 21st century and the fall of human civilization. This actually happened to me and it could happen to you too," a man tweeted Sunday. "So a few weeks ago I was on the Tinder machine shopping my soul around and I match with a very attractive young lady. No bio. Fairly innocuous." 

According to Spencer, he matched on Tinder with Natasha Aponte a few months ago and they started a polite conversation which eventually resulted in her telling him that she was interested in seeing him.

"She goes, 'actually, I have this huge presentation Im workin on for my job, would you be offended if I got back to you in like a week or two when Ive got more free time? Youre cute and I want to meet you Im just too busy rn,'" he recounts on Twitter.

After not hearing from his mysterious match for a few weeks, he suspected that she had 'ghosted him' (saying she's busy as an excuse to ignore him and end their back and forth). However, Spencer says a few weeks later, he received a message from Aponte telling him that she was free.

'HEY IM FINALLY FREE LMAO... my friend is DJing near Union square around 6 tomorrow I was wondering if you wanted to go for a bit,'" the text read. 

"I'm like well I'll be damned. Genuinely didn't think she would message me," he wrote. 

Spencer agreed to meet with Aponte at Union Square on Saturday, and being a gentleman, showed up on time, promptly at 6 p.m. However, as he soon learned, he wasn't the only one in Union Square waiting for a date with Aponte. Dozens of other men, all with similar Tinder experiences to his showed up for the DJ set and date as well.

When he spotted his date, he says that instead of heading over to meet with him, she stepped up on stage to reveal her master plan.

"She gets the mic and is like thanks for coming out I bet you're all wondering what this is about and I'm like yeah what the f*** is this about," Spencer tweeted. "She then says so I know all of you here are on tinder." 

"Then she says I've invited you all here for a chance to go on a date with me and proceeds to give a hunger games speech about what its gonna take to date her," he wrote. Finally, it started to make sense to Spencer: "ALL THE DUDES THERE SHE FOUND ON TINDER AND TEXTED THEM THE SAME [THING]," Spencer added in all caps. 

That's when Spencer tapped out, saying he was "too old" for Aponte's dating game. But, some of the other men who came to the park remained to take part and win a chance at love with her. 

Aponte had some pre-qualifiers. She immediately dismissed all men who were under 5'10", had a long beard or were Trump supporters. Then, according to witnesses, she had her prospective dates line up for a race. 

At one point, Aponte performed a 'live' performance of Tinder, swiping the men right or left if she was still interested in them. 

Natasha's Instagram account describes her as an "Actress, model, singer." 

Spencer says that he's become friends with a few of the other guys who fell victim to Aponte's scam, calling it a "support group." 

"It's an amazing story," Spencer writes on Twitter. "And as far as scams go, it wasn't that bad. I spent $2.75 on a subway ticket. The only one who it really backfired on was her."
