Top 10 Reasons Why Dating an Entrepreneur Rocks
- lbrandy 18y agoSeems odd to me that female entrepreneurs would feel the need to market themselves like this. I guess a good entrepreneur never misses an opportunity, huh? Regardless, I'd rather date an angel investor.

- rms 18y agoI'd rather date an heiress.
- xlnt 18y agoI'd rather date a world-class philosopher.
- rms 18y agoWell, let's just compromise and call Paris Hilton the perfect woman.
- xlnt 18y ago“The only rule is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.” “The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday” “A true heiress is never mean to anyone - except a girl who steals your boyfriend” --Paris Hilton
- xlnt 18y agoI dislike the collectivist slant in this (and similar) pieces. It's written as if 'female entrepreneur' is a category one can reasonably make generalizations about. In fact it is a very diverse category and the generalizations presented are not an accurate guide to any individuals.
- derefr 18y agoBecause no one will read "Top 10 Reasons Dating Me Rocks." Instead, the author derives a sort of "aspect" of themselves, and portrays it as an aspect of an entire group. This is really the base of quite a lot of the world's rhetoric--people really talk about groups they don't identify with very rarely.

- DaniFong 18y agoI actually enjoyed this. They're generalist platitudes, but at least it helps to remind me of what I can bring to a relationship. Outside of academic circles, it's strikingly hard to find dates who aren't, well, intimidated by independent, able women. The way people 'turn off', on say, OkCupid, when I mention what I do, had become in equal parts amusing and frustrating.
- acgourley 18y agoI suppose I'd buy that being a 'hackrepreneur' women would have a polarizing effect on mens' interest, but would you really be interested in someone who had it polarized to the negative, anyway? If there is a shortage of guys who are into girls who can code, I'm grossly misunderstanding the bay area singles landscape.
- acgourley 18y agoIn fact I can think of a ton of people in my immediate social network you should contact, heh.
- DaniFong 18y agoI'm sure there are, for me, as for everyone, many people out there, however the issue is really just mending the psychological damage caused by impatiently sampling dating sites. Bad idea. I also think that many men in tech or science tend to think like-minded women are, in the abstract, attractive, but when it comes down to it, it's just not the sort of thing they're looking for while dating. After a while, helping people discover this loses its novelty.
- dgabriel 18y agoIt may be more than that. When you are an extraordinary person, your dating pool is necessarily more limited than it is for the merely ordinary person. I think this is true regardless of gender or sexual orientation. In Boston, we have this term "The H Bomb," which is the moment one tells a prospective partner that one has gone to, or is currently attending, Harvard. You try to put it off until the second or third date, unless the person you're dating also has Ivy League credentials. Just that word can end things before they've started.
