Thanks mate, I've reworded that as it was a bit awkward anyway :)

I'm using the twentytwelve WordPress theme which utilises the Open Sans Google Font - maybe a cdn issue? shrug.

I completely agree. The way I put it in the incubator application was "Finding a cofounder is half-way between finding a housemate and a significant other". There's no way to tell whether anything like this will work out right away.

Regardless, we'll see what happens. Some people were interested in the analytics behind the site, so that was one of my primary reasons for posting - and the backstory to give context.

I actually don't have an OKCupid account. I deleted it a few weeks ago.

I've heard of other people getting married and a few of my best friends met through a dating website, but yeah. I think that it's not necessarily because of it.

danah boyd's talk here is a good reference: http://talks.webstock.org.nz/speakers/danah-boyd/culture-fea...

The TL;DR I got from that talk is that "Internet bullying isn't bad as normal bullying, it is just portrayed differently".

In line with that argument, I would say that dating websites in general just bring out those "crazy people" you meet in a different way.

Because at the end of the day, the "crazy people" would still exist.

I've added a campaign monitor subscription form to the site for anyone who's interested in potentially using an idea like this. I'm not sure where I'm going to take it, but if you'd actually use okcofounder for real, then I think we should keep in touch.

Oops! Fixed that.

Thanks man. I... kind of built it as a joke, yeah. I got bounced back from an incubator because I didn't have a co-founder and wanted to build something slightly ironic. I didn't think other people actually really had a need for something in that respect.

But... I guess you have a very good point.
