Stay away from any "lady" who uses this service. 8 Canis 02-11-2003 05:37 PM ET (US) I hope it works better than Amazon recommendations. Either way, it should be pretty funny. "Women who dated this man also dated: [...] and also bought: Clean underwear." I just hope they aren't adopting Firefly's community-building system of introducing you to other people who enjoyed the same music. Firefly called that "My Nearest Neighbours" if I remember right; but would you really want to click on "My Fuck-In-Laws"? 7 Technophobe 02-11-2003 05:04 PM ET (US) "These concepts are copyrighted." That's right. You can't copyright ideas, only implementations. I suspect these are just scare tactics to disuade the legally challenged. 6 jleader 02-11-2003 05:00 PM ET (US) "These concepts are copyrighted." Uhh, somebody needs an intellectual property law refresher if they think they can copyright concepts. 5 Craniac 02-11-2003 04:08 PM ET (US) Uh, if they're such a great date, why are they handing them around? I feel so dirty... Edited 02-11-2003 04:08 PM 4 cypherpunks 02-11-2003 03:57 PM ET (US) Yeah, but they don't even address "alternative" lifestyles. So Men & Men and Women & Women are free to startup their own version. 3 Michael Bernstein 02-11-2003 02:47 PM ET (US) Their TOS (called 'The Rules') are a little draconian: "9. You may not steal the GreatBoyfriends.com concept of women recommending boyfriends to other women on an internet site. You may not steal the concept of the "stamp of approval" or "a woman's stamp of approval". You may not steal the concept of "women who recommend men" "advising women who want to meet the men whom they have recommended" in any media, including the internet, radio, television, film or print. You may not steal the idea of ex-wives recommending their ex-husbands to other women in any media, including the internet, radio, television, film, or print. You may not steal the idea of ex-girlfriends recommending their ex-boyfriends to other women in ANY media, including the internet, television, radio, film, or print. You may not steal the phrase Take My Ex, Please; nor may you take the concept of preowned or preapproved men being recommended by women in any media, including the internet, radio, television, film, and print. These concepts are copyrighted. And if you do take them, our attorneys will be at your throat." Yeah. Like that's going to stop people from 'stealing their idea'. 2 Eli the Bearded 02-11-2003 02:36 PM ET (US) Shouldn't this have been a Xeni post? :^) 1 JimCanuk 02-11-2003 02:15 PM ET (US) My wife tells me this kind of stuff is all over the walls in women's washrooms.
