"The goal is not to promote hatred, but rather to help people identity their weaknesses so that they can work on them and hopefully become a better a person."

If the goal is not to promote hatred then why did you call it WhatYouHateAbout.Me?

Hate has such a negative connotation to it. If your goal is to identify people's weaknesses than you should think of a name/domain with a lighter connotation using the word weakness rather than hate

True. We considered that too. But we felt that 'hate' might help with the marketing a little bit because it's a more polarizing word. It might not be as appropriate, but we felt that it makes it sound a little more interesting, you don't think?

And it's a little easier to say than whatyoudislikeabout.me or some other ones we thought about.

I see what you mean about how it makes it more interesting. It's good that you put some thought into it though...my first impression was that you just went with it just cuz
