This app is extremely popular and will only continue to increase in popularity. He is an extreme risk taker in the sense that he entered an already packed market and he dropped out of school to make it happen. This man came up with a bit of a variation for his app and that is very innovative, this is a great app for people trying to find relationships of all shapes and styles and will become even more popular as more people find out about it.
