A new dating app developed by MIT entrepreneur Brandon Wade is facing cries of sexism and veiled prostitution. "Carrot Dating," which launched on Monday, is a service that "cuts to the chase by bribing others to go out with you." Using gifts as bribes, or "carrots," a "Briber" can elicit a date from any of the "Bribees" who are part of the service.
