Lots of hot, young girls in NYC ... but if you're running a startup, goooood luck. Tell them you work at a hedge fund instead, then maybe you'll get laid.

Seconded. All I have to do in the clubs is tell them that I work in Murders & Execution and next thing you know, I'm hailing a cab with my new catch in-tow.

Actually girls in NYC are attracted to success and most women here are very impressed by "I started my own company in NYC". Although this is where your ability to "massage" the truth comes into play.

  Pretend for a second that you realize that girls read HN too. If you massage the truth about your company, it's inconceivable that I would sleep with you, let alone take you seriously.

    I really appreciate the honesty here. But what are you exactly conceding to: that you'll only sleep with me if I truly earn above a pre-determined salary figure (because apparently women appreciates honesty), or that you'll still sleep with me if I come clean and tell you that I'm a just average normal thousandaire (because apparently women appreciates honesty).

      Perhaps neither. In finding you attractive, I am interested in your character (your ideas, imagination, execution), so lying to me will be useless because I'm not interested in what you're working on as much as why and how you're working on it. In taking you seriously, I am interested in your business (working with you, connecting you with people who might benefit your company), so lying to me will actually hurt you because you'll portray your company inaccurately.

    Assuming you discover the fact that the truth is massaged...

    >Pretend for a second that you realize that girls read HN too. Honestly, I don't think it's very many. There was a poll a few days ago and I think the male to female ratio was was something like 9:1. And I'm pretty sure I can sometimes (with very high confidence) identify women who don't read Hacker News.
