My dating site startup. Designed and coded all by my lonesome.

Guys won't have a problem with the name, but women will.<p>Let's say 1 in 10 single women are looking to just get laid. They just got out of a long term relationship, they have a strong sex drive, whatever.<p>These women don't want to announce to the world that they're looking for a hookup. They want to go a bar, meet a guy they like, have some drinks, go back to his place, etc. The next morning they'll lie to themselves about how they drank too much and that their inhibitions were down.<p>Women are confusing creatures. Even if they desperately want to have sex they seldom come out and say as much. For that reason, I think the name of your site is only going to attract the skankiest of the skanks.

Go easy on him guys,<p>I found the name "iwouldbangyou" along with the victorian imagery funny. Ryan is right about the part that other dating sites take themselves too seriously.<p>Im pretty curious to see how this pans out, I wish you the BEST OF LUCK :)

Everybody hold the phone.. I think.. I <i>THINK</i> I've figured out why he's alone.

Function follows form in this case. If the centerpiece action is choosing who you'd bang, count on more users having expectations of sex on the first date -- expectations their date might not share, because it's not <i>clear</i> if that's what this site is about. Either it's a dating site or it's a casual hookups site; choose one to focus on, and own it.<p>From your About: "I Would Bang you is free. Always. And ad free." -- how will you make money? Is this a startup, or just a really clever way to find someone to bang you?

I absolutely loved the humorous tone!<p>I reckon some integration with social networks could be a good way for you to gain some leverage. People would be able to tag the friends they'd like to bang and see who would bang them back. I think curiosity would send some traffic your way, especially because there's a natural virality to your app if you approach it that way.<p>The best of luck, and please keep us updated on how things develop!

This might feel / seem a little deceptive - but I would consider having a "female-themed/friendly" theme for the site too. Two domains, one DB, etc.<p>Because other than that, I think you're going to have a huge problem finding female members.<p>I do like the sense of humor, imagery-wise, and the design.

Never thought I'd see "dating startup" and "lonesome" in the same headline. On second thought, it makes total sense.
