Amazon Employees Launch Matchmaking Startup For Coworkers (geekwire.com)
reifman writes: As posted earlier, Amazon's growth and predominantly male hiring has made dating in Seattle incredibly difficult for everyone. Two Amazon employees, Becca Goldman and Mahvish Gazipura, recently launched DateADev to help coworkers optimize their dating profiles: 'at Amazon [we're] surrounded by software developers and project managers all the time, we just noticed their need. We talk to them all the time about their frustrations with dating.' Goldman's gone on more than 500 dates in the past three years. 'Her experience ... helps her quickly assess an online profile of a potential partner.' Rather than drive its employees into moonlighting, Amazon could just start hiring more women.
Maybe the problem is You ?
Says the forever Virgin -_-
Personally, I stick to the under $10s rule for the first date...
I'll bet you don't have too many "second" dates...
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
If a woman buys a book on IoT or Spark, and she's young (based on her music purchases) and has weight proportional to height (based on clothing buys), you've got her email address, so send her a nice followup note.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but a lot of those women you met are single. They just told you otherwise.
Don't waste your vote! Vote for whoever you want, unless you live in a swing state it won't matter anyways
If you think Seattle is bad, you should try Bellevue.
Went to a club there last Saturday, and there were literally no women other than the waitresses. I've lived here for twenty-two years, and not a one of my male friends has had a girlfriend, much less married. I love the job options here, and I'm saving enough to retire when I'm fifty, but it sucks being alone with zero chance of finding someone. I've tried Plenty of Fish and match.com. After sending hundreds of messages, I've never even gotten a date. I've got a flashy car (Ferrari 360, older but still nice) and a 22-story condo overlooking Lake Washington and downtown Seattle, but I haven't even met a girl to even try to impress.
Perhaps you're looking for the wrong type of girl - not all girls are going to be impressed by your Ferarri, plus I imagine that unless a girl is particularly athletic, she's not going to want to climb 22 flights of stairs from your livingroom to the bedroom.
Have gnu, will travel.
