Their entire product is based off of taking your facebook data and friends graph and arranging these meetups. It's not some instafail slapped on at the last moment because they thought it was a good idea, its a core peice of how they work. If that doesn't work for you fine, but in this case then their site isn't for you but oh well
That's not really relevant here because this is a rare site that actually needs facebook data like the friend graph. They're not using it as a lazy login mechanism.
Even so that facebook button is sitting there acting as the gateway to investigating further, with very little information provided so far. To me it's almost like a site that says "Give us your credit card information now. We promise only to do nice things with it. Later we'll tell you what we did"

Great hook but then...
"Apply Privately with Facebook"
Instafail. That's never gonna happen. Ever. Please take a read of http://dickbrouwer.com/post/16748664071/facebook-perils

The process is really simple; and they explain it with a nice graphical flow if you click the "how does it work" link (prior to signing in).
Did you see/click that and still have the same concern? And if you did see it, what sort of assurances/explanations would you want to see?
(I'm not being facetious, I'm genuinely curious :)).
Is it different for real-world meetups though? I think Ridejoy did a great job with this http://ridejoy.com/signup?redirect_url=%2F
