I'm surprised there is no corresponding "Where the boys at?" or does that defeat the purpose? It would be easy enough to create the same site for girls to find boys. that can also be a problem at times...

This reflects the asymmetry of power distribution in the sexual market brought on by nature's unfair dispensation of vaginas.

Why are we assuming that a tech conference should be anyone's sexual playground, be they male or female? Also, what's up with all the boy-girl, girl-boy heteronormative assumptions?

At the end of the day, all this site did was show me 2 sexist coders (gasp!) who will likely never have enough respect for women to be able to work with any real women in a collaborative or professional setting.

We should be looking at ways to decrease autism rates.

If we can find ways for men inside the spectrum to hook up with women outside the spectrum, that may help in the long run. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aspergers_pr.html

There is an extensive literature on this topic, and a community devoted to educating people about it.

Are you asking me? It's the site's premise, not mine.

As for their heteronormative assumptions (if any), must the site be prepared to service all markets before they're allowed to enter any one market?
