Seems like encouraging more females to go into tech jobs and making training for them more available like RailsBridge's workshops would be a far better use of money and time.
If you want to simply stay on the dating side of things you could make a site designed for remote dates through web cam chats, cooperative games (anything from web based mini-games to co-op on Call of Duty depending on the interests of the players), IMing and texting. You don't need to be in the same physical place to get to know someone, thinking you do seems very backwards for a startup.
What's the plan here if two people do click? The service isn't going to pay for them to fly over for every date. It's the same situation as meeting someone online except that the initial date is face to face.
- groby_b 12y agoI'm sure you didn't mean it that way - but I'd like to point out that "dating" and "working in tech" has nothing to do with each other. Just because a woman works in an industry doesn't mean she has any interest in dating there.
- smsm42 12y agoBetter for what? I'm not sure how training women to work in tech and helping people from remote to date each other is related. Unless "women in tech" are viewed as a commodity that "we need more of" and these are considered as alternative ways for getting more of that commodity - which would be kind of disgusting point of view to me. But if we ignore such point of view, I do not see any relation between the two and why they should be viewed as alternative ways of spending money instead of complimentary ways. >>> You don't need to be in the same physical place to get to know someone, thinking you do seems very backwards for a startup. Depends on your definition of "know", I guess. Ultimately, there are things between men and women that don't work well over chats ;)
