I would label it more sad than disgusting myself, but I think there's a lot of people out there (both men and women) who would find this as fairly interesting.

I would label it more sad than disgusting myself, but I think there's a lot of people out there (both men and women) who would find this as fairly interesting. The dating market is kind of skewed. If you're a desirable woman and you go on most normal dating sites to meet men, you'll get deluged with more emails than you can realistically even respond to. If you're an everyday man who would like to meet new women, it's a bit harder to find somebody because every desirable woman on these sites gets a ton of messages. The short of it is that the experience for everybody could be improved. I'm not saying that this specific idea is the ultimate answer but I think there should be more experimenting with different types of sites in the dating industry than the traditional "create a profile and send a messages site" to figure out better ways of connecting people. OKCupid for example is experimenting more and more with things like events and group "gatherings" to meet people. Maybe that's a better type of site. Hopefully people will continue to come up with and test new kinds of dating ideas. PS: I think a lot of the outlandish statements by the founder are purely to generate faux media outrage and publicity. Right on cue, the media is obliging him
