Ask HN: Online Discussion Site with Balanced Percentages of Males and Females?
I saw an interesting comment in another thread about online sites that help "match up" people for intellectual conversation, with the clear implication of "match up" being "find a date." That got me thinking that most online communities I join for intellectual discussion are either very predominantly male (my guess about Hacker News) or very predominantly female (the typical case for most online communities about homeschooling, where I spend a lot of my time as a member of a tiny male minority). The one online community I know with a good balance of men and women and sometimes very intellectual discussion
http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/
is explicitly for parents, and thus probably doesn't include a lot of single people of either sex. So offhand I can't think of many places to go online for intelligent discussion with smart, young people who may be heterosexual and who are looking for a date with someone of the opposite sex. How about you? What sites do you recommend for that?
