"It's like Great Expectations but with airplanes."

Any service that takes money from people by preying upon their dreams is inherently evil. This doesn't solve dating because it's unsolvable on purpose. Unplanned spontaneous clicking probably won't happen when it's the advertised goal. Joining interest groups on meetup would be infinitely better.

Wait - so they can't get a date in NY, and they think the standards are lower in SF, so they might get a date?

Majority opinion is that NY nightlife/dating life has higher ratio of girls to guys while SF has way more guys. So it doesn't mean standards are supposed to be lower, rather the ratio should even out between the 2 cities.

I thought it would be funny to make a joke site with this idea (even grabbed sadsingles.com a few days ago for it) - it's interesting someone is actually trying it.

The dating situation is so bad for single men in their early to mid twenties on the west coast that I'm starting to think it's worth bailing on the area entirely and moving to NYC just for that purpose. (Palo Alto has got to be magnitudes worse than SF which is still pretty bad).

At first it looked like the situation in NYC was even worse for women with the 150k vs. 50k difference, but the population of NYC is 8.2million where SF is only 805k. Still dramatic, but not nearly as bad.
