The rapidly growing dating app Tea Dating Advice (Tea for short), which lets women anonymously share reviews, red flags, and personal stories about men they’ve dated or interacted with, now has a competitor in the market. However, things aren’t going smoothly for the new male-only app, TeaOnHer, as both platforms have recently fallen victim to a data breach, with hackers stealing user information over the past week.

As reported by Cosmopolitan, TeaOnHer was launched earlier this month by Newville Media Corporation, offering men the chance to share their experiences with women they’ve dated. But unlike Tea, where women focus on safety concerns—such as sharing information about sex offenders or men with a history of domestic violence—the new app has been criticized for hosting posts that seem to focus more on petty complaints about women, as mentioned by Cosmopolitan‘s Annabel Iwegbu. 

She noted that “Most posts read more like generic misogynistic complaints about women, the same kind you can find on any other social platform—just not with a person’s picture, age, and legal first name attached.” 

While TeaOnHer was designed to help men spot red flags, offer safety tips, and exchange stories, TikTok star Christal Luster remarked that the app feels less like a tool for men to learn about safe dating practices and more like a platform for “retaliation” against women. 

“My thing is, don’t y’all already do this in the group chat, in the locker, and the internet?” Luster said bluntly.

The social media star wasn’t afraid to share her thoughts about Tea, too. It seems, she noted, that many users on the app are more focused on “drama” and “gossip” than engaging in constructive conversations about safe and healthy relationships for women in today’s #MeToo climate, particularly after the app climbed to the No. 1 spot in the Apple Store in July.
