the site probably never took off because 'fit finder' is inherently misogynistic and a little bit creepy?
I know Zuckerburg started facebook as a way to find girls but at least the name is more generic

I just realized you might have meant that the initial idea of what facebook would represent to its users was a way to find chicks. That might be more likely, but I've never seen anything to suggest that's the case. I'd appreciate a source for that claim, if indeed there is a decent one.
No, that's the story from the movie. Zuckerburg started facebook because he wanted to make a startup.
Language barrier here. "Fit" doesn't sound so bad to me. Why is it that bad?
The issue here isn't one of gender, but that the public space is not an appropriate place for making sexual comments about strangers, just as most people don't think that wolf whistling at people in the street is appropriate. This amplifies that effect by putting it online, and therefore the "wolf whistle" is permanent and world-wide.
OTOH, the comment by djhworld still confuses me. The bad outcome wouldn't be misogyny but stalking or something like that. "Misogynistic" implies it's directed against females.
