Hey guys, just a short note about a new experimental online dating site that we just launched at: [http://www.themeetmkt.com](http://www.themeetmkt.com) It’s basically a market-based system in which a girl sets a fixed number of messages that she wants to receive every few days. Guys then bid on those slots. We run an auction to figure out who’d be the best messages to send her. We are giving away message credits while we build up enough profiles for the system to work properly (we are shooting for around eight thousand). If you sign up now you get about 2500 of them and it goes down exponentially as we get more signups. When we get enough profiles we launch and you can start to bid for the girl of your dreams! Please check it out, sign up for some free credits and let us know what you think of the idea. Thanks JP removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid
