Worst HN comment ever.
Huh? There's several hundred people on that list for me. It took 5 minutes to scroll through and decide which ones to click. It could have taken 2.5 minutes. Clearly this is desirable? If not, please explain.

#84A few days ago, my fiancee and her mom were talking about setting up a nice guy with my fiancee's sister. Unfortunately, said guy is in a relationship.

#89This is hilarious. And fits nicely with the expression, "girls are like parking spots; the good ones are always taken."
This app is the equivalent of "circling" the lot instead of parking far away. Would make for good logo inspiration. :-)
