Is that a real testimonial on the page? If not, I think you should take it down. Alternatively, the screenshot doesn't depict reality, it's highly unlikely that a woman will approach the guy in an online world.

No its not a real testimonial. Thanks for the heads up. It was left over from our designs. We've changed it.

To different fake testimonials... splendid :)

When google rolled out their images search, I thought similar simplistic sites would stop using pictures obviously stolen from the internet to use them as fake customers, but apparently not.

After Pair was released, I wanted try this "thumbkiss" thing to see what it was all about. The problem was I had no one to pair with. So I figured hey wouldn’t it be fun to create directory of singles to pair with, and so I created PairMixer over the weekend with my friend (bearwithclaws). I reversed engineered the Pair's private API so pairing is done "automagically". What do you guys think? Screenshots: http://i.im…

I love it! Disclosure: I'm one of the co-founders of Pair :)

Thanks, how about access to your API :)

How are you going to address the problem of a bunch of men signing up for your app but almost no women?

The problem is that we launched on HackerNews which generally has a more Male audience.

We are going to try to get more females on PairMixer though other channels.

No, this is a problem intrinsic to the whole dating site/app genre. I'd suggest reading up on it if you're in this field. The biggest problem any straight person dating site has to figure out is how to get women on the site and keep them happy.
