Report: Woman used Tinder to prank dozens of men into dating contest
A woman reportedly used Tinder to prank more than 100 men into showing up for a date that turned out to be a "Hunger Games"-style competition.
According to the New York Times, the woman identified as Natasha Aponte invited dozens of Tinder contacts to meet her in Manhattan's Union Square Sunday for what they thought was a one-on-one date.
Instead, the report says a woman who said she was Natasha told them they had to compete for a date with her.
She disqualified the men who were under 5 foot 10 and those named Jimmy, a name she dislikes, according to the report.
Then, she reportedly asked the remaining contestants to perform push-ups and footraces.
The stunt reportedly was videotaped by Rob Bliss, the man who shot a widely watched catcalling video in 2014.
AP wire services helped contribute to this report.
