Why The Fremium Model Is A Lot Like Dating

I nominate this page for today's Most Superfluous Use of Stock Photography award.

Jesus, it seems like everything in a startup is like dating.<p>Finding a co-founder is like dating. Finding an investor is like dating. Being an entrepreneur is like dating.<p>Now, Freemium Models?<p>I'm kinda sick of the dating analogy personally.

Wow, Dan's linkbait shows up here on HN. Never thought I'd see the day. Well played, Martell, wherever you are.

So what would be the startup equivalent of meeting someone on craigslist?
