pa12··on Single Women: There Aren't Enough College-Educated Men Out There
True, the girls are marketing themselves as 'girly' or 'sassy' - this is against the ideals of feminism is it not?

Likes and dislikes based on societies arbitrary ideals of what an ideal guy is like.

Whats wrong with non-college educated men?

I think this is because society dictates that men who aren't educated and earning lots of money are somehow less attractive. They call it dating 'down'.

Firstly we more women in college.

Secondly guys are less likely to judge their mates by whether they do attend college, so you end up with a dynamic where college educated men are dating both 'up' and 'down' whereas college educated girls only want to date 'up'.

This mentality of dating 'up' based on societies ideals of what 'up' is somehow feels like hypocrisy as many of these girls are staunch feminists.

Why are these non college educated guys not good enough? Are they bad people because they didn't go to college?

Oh well, as a college educated guy, im not complaining.

pa12··on What is a quick way to get feedback on ideas?
Touche, great answer. This is difficult though, lets say I was making a social networking app (massive cliche I know) - speaking to friends and family is out of the question as they would err on the side of being supportive as to not offend me.

I guess my other option would be to post on forums, but that would risk my idea being spotted by another developer.

Perhaps I could speak to the other startup founders I have met and spoken to in the past? Would the opinion of a startup founder be valid?
