Yeah, and perhaps one that tells me where all the creepy guys who use this app "are at" so I can avoid them. :P

It's the same app. Just don't go where the compass points.
But go 90 degrees away from the compass vector, otherwise you'll encounter the oncoming wave.
Brilliant. Now change up the UI a bit, make sure you change the name to something like "CreepAvoider" and then it'll be marketable to the ladies :)
And I'll create a service for users of Wheretheladies.at that shows them both where the ladies currently are and where CreeperAvoider is sending the ladies so that they can try to stay ahead of the curve and get places right as the ladies are migrating there :)
It'll be like a dating arms race.
Now I am getting visions of a bunch of Ladies huddled in a bunker somewhere while hordes of Creeps throw themselves against the doors and windows. Sort of Resident Evil style.

Terrifying. :|

Soon, all the ladies and all the creeps will be sitting at home, afraid to do anything, waiting for the other party to make a move. We've now got Dating Cold War!
Clearly CreeperAvoider needs to upgrade to using a true random number generator to generate its dispersion direction ..
Unfortunately just going somewhere else won't work, because the app will follow you. You need a strategy to disperse.
Then you'd be trying to avoid yourself.
Back in my day, we had to use our eyes to find girls. And it was usually dark.
You had to use eyes to find girls? Why, in my day, we hadn't evolved optical receptors, we all had to track girls by scent.
We would have killed for a sense of smell. We just had to move in one direction and hope there was a girl there.
Leave the sunglasses off. It helps.

Truly painful. That felt a little like a rick roll.
