My wife is an ambassador for a social/dating app
My wife recently applied for and accepted an ambassador role for an app called 222 Place. While the company markets itself as a way to find local events and group experiences rather than a traditional swiping app, the entire premise of the platform is centered around curating "chance encounters," singles events, and helping people meet new people in real life.
When she told me about it, I looked into how the app markets itself before making a stance or opinion on it. When I looked into it, I realized that this is just a dating app guised as verbatim “not a dating app” to stand out from a marketing perspective. I calmly expressed that being involved with a platform centered around meeting new people and singles mixers crosses a line for my personal values within a marriage.
Her stance in response:
She stated she is doing it strictly to make money ($150 a week to make promotional videos).
She argues that she isn't obligated to actually attend the live events. She already attends meetups with strangers but a different kind that revolves around the shared hobby of crafting.
When I pointed out that she consistently gravitates toward environments centered around meeting new people out of all possible opportunities, she accused me of trying to "control" her.
The conversation completely derailed into circular arguments where my discomfort with the app was dismissed as me just trying to control her, while the core issue of what the app actually is got entirely ignored.
I don't want to police her career choices or side-hustles, but I also feel like a married person promoting a singles/social discovery app crosses a boundary.
I’m coming here looking for opinions and advice.
