Woman Posts Boyfriend Request on GitHub, Requires Access to His Server

&#62; <i>"Someone who can tolerate social gaming companies like Zynga..."</i><p>Welp, most of us on HN are out of the running! ;)<p>But in all seriousness, am I the only one that thinks this is just ridiculous? It would have been funny and one thing had it been a joke, but this just seems crazy to me. Maybe it's because I'm <i>only</i> 23 and I'm not that "desperate". Or maybe it's cause I'm very social and rarely have troubles finding dates or new people to meet, but I just can't imagine ever trying to get an actual date or make a real connection with someone from an absurd <i>list of demands/requirements</i> like this.<p>Plus, using github in this way just annoys me a bit. There are plenty of free dating sites out there (Okcupid, for example) where you could find mates that meet your "needs" or are compatible with you. Using github like this (<i>again, if it was a joke, that would be one thing</i>) just screams "I'm desperate" or "I want attention for using github to find a date." Github has drink-ups and meet-ups if you want to meet other people on there or similar to you, as well!

Wow, that's quite a list of demands.<p>Is this a more common thing with Japanese women, do they go into dating with a very specific set of criteria rather than "winging it" as western women would?<p>"Someone who plays at most only 1 hour of videogames a day, or at most only 30 minutes of TV."<p>Most good TV shows are at least an hour long per episode, I assume you have to split them over 2 days.

First time I saw this, I actually thought this was a repost of the gay guy on github who had a list of requirements for a boyfriend so I didn't read it.<p>Normally women keep this sort of list as a secret hidden agenda which we're meant to guess. Nice to see some transparency. ;-)

I cant explain why, but this strikes me as quite sad. Not her, really. But the guys that go after her. From the list and her demands I cant imagine a relationship with her would be a happy one. But that is just my opinion tho. (Out of curiosity I counted quickly the requirements I would fulfill : 25, and all her bonus requirements except the access to the server bit. That just screams "paranoid" to me. Why would that be a requirement for a relationship?

Pretentious. Controlling. Possibly obsessive compulsive.

"I don't discriminate based on looks."<p>It's always hilarious when women say this, are you saying that somebody with severe disfigurations and scars or someone is morbidly obese would not affect the decision at all?

For such an incredibly long list of demands... her GitHub profile only listed 4 projects. Very disappointing :p

Account norinori2222 on github has no public projects (except for test repos), no commits to any public projects, what is this, a joke?!

I'm pretty sure this is sarcasm. Late 30s, undisclosed weight ("? I'd like to lose some") and a wall of demands.
