Yea, this is a joke, right? Am i missing something? This seems like on of the silliest idea i've heard in a long time. Once you start offering free flights, wouldn't the incentive system immediately switch from finding love to free vacation?
- RyanZAG 13y agoWhat? There's no free flights here. This is the option of very expensive flight+date, or a $20 lotto ticket to a chance of a flight. It's basically a trap for the less sharp. Good luck to them, I guess.
- scoofy 13y agoMaybe this appeals to the man or woman that thinks NYC/SF is a magical world full of only people of the opposite sex. I just moved from NYC to SF, and it's really not that exceptional of a difference. Fair enough, let's play this out. Women are going to pay $500 (without accommodations), to go on 3 dates, and fly back. Guys pay $100 for a cocktail party with a plane full of ladies from New York. Then what happens? You pick up and move your life across the continent for your love at first date, or do you keep going on $500 first dates? At some point someone has to move across the country. It'd make more sense to me that, if you think NYC is some oasis overflowing with women... just move there. It's not so hard. There is a tech sector, and it's really a fun place to live. Just make sure you live by Carroll Gardens, because that's where i noticed all the girls in Brooklyn seem to live. Women who want to move to SF... Yea, um, good luck finding an apartment. See you in Oakland!
