Why does this warning creep me right the **** out?
Allowing Undateable Home access will let it pull your profile information, photos, your friends' info, and other content that it requires to work.

You can't honestly say you've never noticed that same warning for EVERY OTHER facebook page/app/whatever before?
It's standard procedure. They warn you because third party developers are behind the content you're trying to work with.

Actually, I can honestly say that I've never noticed that warning- I haven't used Facebook much and only just made an account very recently. So EVERY OTHER page/app/whatever before this would come out to exactly zero.
So very sorry to be a Facebook noob. It's still a creepy warning.

Lol oops, sorry then. Yeah, it's concerning.
I think they (FB) were forced into alerting users of that and asking for permission after some semi-recent very serious concerns about their privacy.
Last I checked, they reserved the right to use your content however they see fit at any time without notice to you...for example a photo of you in a banner ad somewhere. As for independent content developers, well, they'll do whatever they want. I think for the most part they don't even pull any info out, it just asks anyway.

In my opinion, women who obsess with the design of my underwear (as long as it's clean and relatively whole) are undateable. Problem solved. I go for only the best girls: Geek girls.

Indeed. When it comes to girls, "high maintenance" should ideally mean that she demands to have at least as good a computer (and keyboard!) as your own!
