Happy Anti-Valentine's Day from Grouper

I like the concept and it got me interested in joining, but I was really put off by the sexism as I scrolled down. Almost everything is perfect, except for the few columns in your table that just scream "we've stereotyped everyone into really unimaginative roles".<p>Why not replace "all guys, and especially single women" with something more neutral like "people who don't like pink". I'm a guy and I don't hate valentines day.

I would be interested in this if you didn't have to give it access to your facebook information.

I like the idea, but I'd really like to know more about why you need some of this information (I'm sure you expected these kinds of questions from Hacker News).<p>For instance, why do you need to know if i'm interested in guys or girls if the matching is, for now, always the same (3 guys 3 girls).<p>Why do you need my phone number? What would you ever use it for?<p>It seems likely from the format of the information that some of it will be shared with whomever I'm matched with. What information do you give them exactly?<p>Something like giving out your phone number, especially if it's not optional, makes me much more careful about signing up somewhere.

I just joined. They have access to a lot of my personal information on Facebook now. I hope they have some fancy algorithms to match me with a compatible group. Anyone from Grouper want to elaborate on the algorithms?

I'm a fairly trusting person, but I think your Facebook permissions need to be rethought. I really doubt you need access to all my photos, family, and info that other people share with me.

What if I'd prefer to Grouper with a different gender mix?
