The title should read: "Fundraising While Not an Ivy League White Male". I believe everything she says. I agree that we should call out sexist behavior to stamp it out. However, I hope she doesn't wallow in how unfair this is. Nearly everyone has to face unfair bullshit in some aspect of their lives. Frankly, dating sites are a cesspool of people making superficial judgments. Fat people, short men and black women have a terrible time getting dates because of that same "pattern matching" investors do on founders. They probably have a harder time fund raising for their startups, too. So, you really have no choice but to persevere against sexist asshats in SV.
I heard about the dating ring from the Startup podcast. Checked the site out, but how is this different from It's Just Lunch? For $80/month I'd rather your matchmaker run my OKCupid account. Writing a hundred messages that get no response is a total waste of time, but OKC and Match is where people are at.
