What differentiates a single person from a next-level single person? Or a date from a next-level date (I'm seeing a lot of 'next-level' throughout body copy). Barring a pre-selection/approval process for users, I'm assuming all people will be equally able to sign up and take part in the website, making the pool as "current level" as other dating sites.
Interesting, you guys could be a competitor for us, but I can't quite tell yet. In lust implies a strong sex focus but the phrasing on the site indicates dating. I'm curious to see where you guys end up going with this. http://www.heyfoxy.com

cool, i haven't heard of heyfoxy, but i love the image on the front page. i'll check it out. there is a focus on sexuality, but it is not a hookup site anymore than reddit or tumblr are hookup sites. i don't see us as competitors, i see us as friends!
And the pic on the front is my girl and I. Glad you like it :)
I'm male and not all that traditional, but the name is very conspicuous. I can only imagine the name making it even harder than usual to attract women. The commentary about her personal life is...awkward. Neat as it is that she dated the patron saint of modern JavaScript, I don't think that's going to help me get a date. The geek content just makes me even more skeptical about bringing women and keeping them engaged,…
>The commentary about her personal life is...awkward. I disagree. As a woman who has previously dated via many online/offline means it's refreshing to see an honesty from a real woman about a topic that has too long been dominated by the 'let's get you married' dating sites (okcupid aside). If I were dating I'd be happy to invest some time in the site to see how it works.
Most people seek a professional, stable, and safe image in a company they're going to share their personal details with. Misplaced commentary about the founder's personal life is one of those 'split' decisions where it'll make 5-10% of women love her, and the other 90%++ will get scared off.
Like OKCupid, I'm sure she'll have a passionate userbase if she continues to be personable and connect with people, but the awkwardness and lack of women will drive many away.

Hi, it's not intuitive to know to click on the logo to go back. Maybe you could add a link at the top saying something like 'Click here to go to front page and submit your email for early access'. Another girl here - though I'm in a relationship it's an interesting problem to solve and I'm curious to see what you've come up with.
i think that if you entered the site on the homepage, as intended, and then went to the about page, it would be pretty obv how to get back. thanks for your comments on this thread! you seem to understand the female online dating problem as i do, and it's nice to have another female backing me up on here.

What you are trying to do is admirable, and I understood what you meant with that original line. It didn't however convey what you probably meant. I would write something along the lines of, "she was known among her friends for her ability to meet great guys online with which she developed deep emotional connections". Or something like that. You are now qualifying that you had the ability to find the right type of gu…
excellent feedback; i'll definitely qualify that line with something more meaningful. as for the name, i'm actually specifically not going after a geeky crowd (which is why my heart kinda fell out of my chest when i saw it was submitted to HN) and am initially going for younger, artistic, NYC singles. the name is designed to attract the kind of people i want on the site for now.

Awesome, I'm really excited to see what you guys come up with. Also, I'd definitely be interested in trading some guest blog posts at some point. On the off chance that you're NYC based as well we should totally grab drinks and talk shop sometime. And the pic on the front is my girl and I. Glad you like it :)
In Luv? Insult? Oh! In lust!
