Do you remember this crazy video of Hot Dog eating champion Kobayashi challenging a huge bear to an eating competition? I love the contrast between the frantic looking Kobayashi trying to pound down hot dogs, while the bear gracefully munches on his meal. I don't even know who wins in the end, but it just shows you that even the scariest of animals can be a gentleman at the table. That bear must've been raised by a good mother.
Why am I telling you this? Because by myself telling you how much of a gentelman that bear was, it makes you kind of want to meet the bear right? Maybe feed the bear some of your yummy food? That's the power of a peer review. When people first hear about our site, they often ask about the safety of having people come over to their homes or eating out at other people's homes. We tell them that there's a risk in everything you do in life, but you're able to rate every person you meet on our site. People generally want to be liked and want to be invited back, so the peer review really helps people behave. If you're a real annoying or unlikable person, it'll only take a couple meals before you stop getting accepted to future meals. Also, before you accept anyone to your home, you can see their full profile to see if their interests are complimentary to yours. By knowing exactly who's coming over, it's even safer than hosting a house party when a friend's friend's friend randomly comes over. And hey, since we don't give out your address until you accept the user, you can always say no!
