I know for a fact that this girl [<a href="http://automateyourdate.com/testimonial/automate-your-date-testimonial-4/" rel="nofollow">http://automateyourdate.com/testimonial/automate-your-date-t...</a>] is on fiverr.com
The question that I've got is what is your surrogate going to tell the girl in order to get you a date? You know the only way they can go viral is to start getting men dates.<p>What happens when the girl finds out that you're not Tom Cruise's younger brother who just sold his startup to Google? This makes much better sense as a reality TV show. Poor Allen Funt would be horrified.<p>Ref: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Funt" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Funt</a>
Not sure if this is the way to win the hearts of prospective partners: caring little about the approach as to outsource personal interactions.<p>I imagine there's room for improvement in online dating, and can see professional help being a viable service (tips on profiles, photographer, suggesting people to contact or automating some initial contact) but I don't know if this would appeal to people?
It might be nice if the picture of the couple at the beginning actually rotated/fade-in/out between "traditional" image of a couple, interracial, same-sex, etc.
Dating is not a "solvable" problem because asymmetric information and asymmetric supply/demand meaning that the solutions to the Stable Marriage Problem aren't applicable.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons</a><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand</a><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_marriage_problem" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_marriage_problem</a><p>"Outsourcing" just makes the informational asymmetry worse. It's a negative-sum strategy. Hooray.
