One of the most shocking stories was about a man who met a woman on the app. She seemed normal at first. But during the date, she started talking about really dark and disturbing things like her fascination with death and harming animals. It was so unexpected and terrifying for the man that he left immediately. Also, there was a case where a person's identity was stolen by someone they met on the app. The thief used the victim's information to make purchases.
A very shocking one is when someone met a date from the app who had a criminal record that they didn't disclose. It was only when the date got a bit strange and the police were called that it came out. Another is a person who was harassed by their date after the date ended. The date just wouldn't stop calling and texting, even showing up at their workplace uninvited.
One horror story could be meeting someone who completely misrepresented themselves. For example, they said they were single but were actually married. Another might be going on a date with someone from the app who turned out to be extremely rude and disrespectful during the date, constantly interrupting and making inappropriate comments. And then there are those who use fake photos on the app, so when you meet in person, it's a completely different person than expected.
A memorable one could be the story of a couple where one partner was secretly married to someone else all along while being in a relationship with the other. The discovery was a huge shock, and it led to a lot of drama as the deceived partner had to come to terms with the betrayal.

The danger of being attacked by the cub during the procedure and the cub's pitiful state made it a really shocking veterinarian horror story.
Another shocking aspect was the financial exploitation. NXIVM promised great things but instead drained people of their money.
