dating is really a niche that's more or less guaranteed slow growth, taking time off from school to pursue something this generic doesn't strike me as smart...s

  That's a bit of a fallacy to assume that more time = more users. User growth doesn't happen by itself because you have a product out (outside of the rare viral hit). It takes months of hard work and focus to build a user base.

    months of hard work that should be spent hitting the books, learning something about the world and gaining the experience required in order to properly provide a solution for educated and experienced people over the age of thirty who can spot an immature product with their laptop closed. I'm not saying there isn't a market for lbs dating sites, what I am saying that from what I'm reading it appears that a couple of intelligent people are dropping out of school at a young age to pursue what amounts to some low-hanging fruit.

      Low-hanging fruit would be a good thing to pursue. Did you mean the opposite?

        That's insane. Who told you that?

  We decided to take time off from school because we wanted to fully commit to whatever idea we pursued. We realized that we could not create something meaningful in our spare time. It has already been a tremendous learning experience and we don't regret our decision.
