Business Insider: New York Women Paid To Go To Silicon Valley To Find Millionaires

"The five-day trip, which was crowdfunded via Crowdtilt, was thrown by Lauren Kay, the founder of dating startup The Dating Ring. The idea behind it is that Silicon Valley has become so dominated by wealthy men that it has caused a supply-demand imbalance. For some reason, this can only be solved by flying women from New York to San Francisco. Naturally, the concept is not without its flaws."
On the third day, O'Connor and the rest of the New York gang headed to a party thrown for the Crowdtilt benefactors.

"Some of the men at this party are more eccentric than those we received as matches," O'Connor recalls.

One programmer who donated several hundred dollars to the campaign compared the situation to giving money to a homeless person—implying that it was a demeaning act of pity.
Sex in the City meets Sleepless in San Francisco... what could go wrong?

And I'll bet they're all "liberated".

These women are pathetic.

In Thailand the women manage to travel to where the rich guys are entirely on their own.

Old San Francisco: "There's gold in them hills"

New San Francisco: "There's gold in the valley"

It attracted the diggers then, and apparently still works today.

Size really matters.

Account size.

Men, in contrast, never do stupid shit for sex or money.

Do the girls have a sliding scale?

Harry Mudd and the venus drug and it would have worked out okay.

Since they all undoubtedly read MoDo, they should have known better than to pig out on pot brownies.

Apparently they can't just have one... Pot brownie.

I don't get it. Have people become wimpy crybabies.

I've used pot. Ate pot brownies. Pot banana bread is awesome! Sure you get high, but not to the weird state these morons seem to have reached. I can't imagine how they would react to some Mr. Natural LSD.

What a bunch of sissies and incompetent nincompoops.

in ancient times
i was a god

a mistake, really
some thought i was
Fenrir the wolf
no just a dog
whose round teeth can bite
not man or Odin

the women brought me henbane
to seduce men
bringing visions and eros
and make bellies round

one had to be careful
during visions
i warned them
not to wake the trolls

but some would take sticks
just to see the trolls snarl
for sport
once awake the troll took days to
sleep again

nobody ever listns

I've never even tried pot so I'll have to take your word for it.

Could it be that they were strung out and wanting to drown their sorrows before they even ate it?

Supposedly some people are morose drunks, too.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Ha!

I remember the concrete dog.

Every stupid thing I've done for sex or money was entirely worth it!
