As I wrote: It strengthens and enforces typical stereotypes which don't make life easier for the target demo.

  If anything that "strengthens and enforces typical stereotypes" is a bad thing, I should've been banned from attending mathlete competitions or LAN parties. Those definitely reinforced stereotypes and made some aspects of my life harder. :] It's a free world dude.

    The whole discussion is not about the guys but YC and if they can back such a business.

      That's fine, my argument applies to YC and other investors in addition to the founders.

  this argument might hold water if there weren't a preexisting plethora of other dating sites/apps that cater to all kinds of other groups. this app/site is a safe ("halal") place for a _self-selecting_ group to congregate. how can you possibly have an issue with that? the people who explicitly want to find a muslim spouse can use this site, the people who don't particularly care if their spouse is muslim will use some other one. if you want to build that site (for people specifically trying to find a spouse instead of trying to have fun, but not explicitly for muslims), just do it and quit shitting on this site.
