*CommitmentIssues: Apparently, ''every male character aside from James'' doesn’t want commitment in a relationship. This is even to the point that boys don’t tell girls their names, and toss girls out the window to avoid their parents asking any questions. Funnily enough, when James even mentions the word “commitment,” all the boys recoil in horror.

**The movie itself also seems to split the girls into specific groups based off of arbitrary things that would be seen as perfectly average in real life: the “Madonnas” are the girls who prioritize a relationship and abstain from sex, and only engage in the app to please boys. The “Whores” are the ones who engage in sex and happily accept the app, but are treated as shallow and stupid.

James Singer (played by Kendall Ryan Sanders) is a community college freshman and computer genius mocked for his lack of sociability. It's a stark contrast to his new roommate Lance Black (played by Noah Centineo), a womanizer that wants to get straight to the physical part of a hook-up without any of the "dating" part that might not even end in close contact. Lance's friends are no better, with one not even wanting to give out his last name or other personal details because of how little he wants to actually commit to any one woman.
