Fair enough, let's play this out. Women are going to pay $500 (without accommodations), to go on 3 dates, and fly back. Guys pay $100 for a cocktail party with a plane full of ladies from New York. Then what happens? You pick up and move your life across the continent for your love at first date, or do you keep going on $500 first dates?
At some point someone has to move across the country. It'd make more sense to me that, if you think NYC is some oasis overflowing with women... just move there. It's not so hard. There is a tech sector, and it's really a fun place to live. Just make sure you live by Carroll Gardens, because that's where i noticed all the girls in Brooklyn seem to live. Women who want to move to SF... Yea, um, good luck finding an apartment. See you in Oakland!
