it does? really? are there any? (mind-blowing awesome women)

  Yes, but they're rare and you usually have to steal them. (By which I mean lure them out of mediocre relationships; nothing Borat-style.) Foreign countries are also a good idea. You won't believe it until you see it.

    "Steal" someone, and all you get is someone who is easily stolen.

      Find a single girl, and all you get is someone nobody else wants. The above is flamingly, almost disgustingly, false, and I said it only to illustrate a sweeping stereotype. What you say is generally correct, but I wouldn't apply it in all cases. Anyway, by "steal", I don't mean that you should actively damage the relationship. That's evil and also quite pathetic. I mean that you become friends with the girl and wait for the relationship to find its end, which it will if the girl likes you better than her current boyfriend-- and while there are very, very few compelling women who are available and unattached, there are a hell of a lot of them dating loser men. I generally agree with you in principle. And it's not a good thing that the vast majority of attractive women are unavailable. It's much better if you can find a shy, quirky girl who happens, against all odds, to be single and available, but while this is the gold standard, it's incredibly uncommon.

  Yes. I met one recently. She's beautiful, not demanding, and gives me falafels whenever I want. Falafel store girl is mind blowingly awesome in every way. Maybe one day I'll even have a conversation with her. But that's unlikely, I'm too shy.

    Give it a shot. You've nothing to lose. If you're afraid of risking rejection and failure, then what are you doing on a startup board?

      Mind blowingly awesome falafels are even rarer than mind blowingly awesome women. Mind blowingly awesome falafels within 5 blocks of my office? I can live with other women, but not with other falafels.

        If she rejects you romantically, you can still go in and buy falafels. Unless you're 4 sigma of fail and get hit with a restraining order, that is.

          That puts my odds of losing the falafels at 25%. But maybe if I can get her fired, then I can ask her out...
