The problem with that is that if I knew a girl I wouldn't need online dating.
He is right that there need to be some kind of filtering though - the problem is that the men women want to date are also the girls most likely to put up with the filters.

You don't know any women?
I think that this differs from your scenario in that Jess is vouching for a guy for basically anyone, vs. Ken asking all of his female friends if they know anyone they'd be a good match with.
That said, I don't think that matters for the site in question. I'm just not a part of their target audience. Doesn't mean their idea doesn't work for other people.
If you knew "a" girl, it doesn't necessarily mean she'd want to date you, or that you'd date her girlfriends (what if her friends were all guys?)
The idea is that you have a female to vouch for you, which is social proof.
