It takes about 2 minutes worth of queries to discover there are no girls on this site. There are 3 girls there who match ["Rammstein", "Johnny Cash", "Radiohead"] as well as ["Lady Gaga", "Britney Spears", "Justin Bieber"]. If I type in my zip code, all 9 girls are identical. Nice concept, however.
I see 61 pages of results * 9 results per page with my last.fm profile.

However didn't he come to the realization later in the book that perhaps those things aren't so important?
(I hope to come to that realization some day as well, soldiering on until then.)

I immediately thought of this as well upon seeing the site. However didn't he come to the realization later in the book that perhaps those things aren't so important? (I hope to come to that realization some day as well, soldiering on until then.)

#25"Sorry, we couldn't find you any matches in using those artists." My inner socialite is upset, but the hipster part of me is pleased. :) As has already been mentioned, amazing name and a-mazing design. I look forward to checking into the site when the user base is bigger, so I'll find me some like-minded hipsters.

#26The only thing that caught my eye was a vertical scrollbar that only scrolls about 20 pixels worth shows up on the homepage on a 13-inch macbook running chrome.

#30First Impressions: The name is really really good. The design is top-notch, one of the best looking sites, let alone startups I've seen in a while. One thing, to me the male/female symbols were not intuitive. I see that they're labeled and they do look cool but I feel they take a way from an almost perfect interface. Unfortunately once I fill out the basic info I'm having trouble getting it to load. The page comes up…
Can you explain where exactly it's going blank? Is it after you update your profile or on the search page? I agree we could perhaps improve on those gender icons.
