Tinder can be hard work, and some people often find themselves in a position where they have to pick between two people they really like.

But one single woman came up with a controversial and very unusual method to find 'the one'.

Instead of asking just one potential love interest on a date, Natasha Aponte invited hundreds.

They all thought they were going on a normal Tinder date, but when they arrived they realised that wasn't the case when they saw her getting on stage with a microphone.

She then told the crowd she was going to start whittling down the men with a series of questions and challenges.

Whoever won, would get to go on a date with her.

Her unusual idea received a mixed reaction, and while some of the men saw it as a bit of fun and got involved, others were extremely angry.

A video shared on social media shows a man complaining about what's happening, and he's then thrown out by security staff.

One of the men who arrived ready for his date, shared the story on Tinder.

He said he matched with the "attractive young woman" and they were talking for an hour on the app before exchanging numbers.

But before long she told him she had a huge work presentation coming up at work, so said she wouldn't be able to chat or meet up for a couple of weeks.

The man thought he had just been fobbed off, so didn't really think about her again.

Until a few weeks later when she sent another message asking him if he was free the following night, inviting him on a date to watch a DJ date in New York's Union Square.

Little did he know this message had been sent to hundreds of other men.

On the day, she messaged she was running a bit late and asked him just to meet her by the stage - which he did.

But a few minutes later he saw the woman he had been chatting to get onto the stage with two security guards.

Writing on Twitter, he said: "Then she says I've invited you all here for a chance to go on a date with me and proceeds to give a hunger games speech about what its gonna take to date her

"I immediately think I'm too f****** old for this s***.

He decided to leave, it was shocked that a large number of men decided to stay and compete in the challenges, which included a running race.

He later wrote: "I TRUST NO ONE. I TRUST NOTHING ANYMORE. VANITY WILL BE THE DEMISE OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION. DON'T GET GOT. THE END."
