Startup founder pretends to be a cute 19 y/o girl to get funding, people pissed
http://www.geekwire.com/2013/sarah-hanso...ech-press/

Great proof of the myth of white male privilege. Synopsis - a startup founder posed as an attractive 19 year old girl with a tech startup, which gained a $125,000 bid from a California investor. He has now come out with the truth, and people are pissed.

So it was fine when he was getting funding for being a young white girl, but when it turns out he is a middle age white guy, it's now a travesty.

Makes sense Dodgy

Wow, that article is angry for getting played.

They are just butthurt for the fact they want believe so bad some young, cute white girl was into geeky shit.

They call it "idiotic." No, his plot wasn't idiotic, your choice to believe him was idiotic. He knew doing something wasn't as important as doing something while having tits.

At the end of the day, someone invests in the business and the person. It may be a great business but the person behind it can still make it fail. I'd be pissed off in that investor's shoes because I'd be questioning the guy's ability to carry through a project if he has to result in lying.

Here is the picture the guy put up.

She doesn't look that attractive.

These tech guys honestly need to get out more. They are so separated from the real world, yet they have huge power over the rest of us because of their skills.

Not healthy for anyone involved.

That chick is easily a standard deviation above mean attractiveness. Plus he was trying to raise money for a business project by pretending to be her. If the girls was too hot, people would have taken the proposition much less seriously.

Why you should not give a fuck:

1. If you are giving a chick money, you are beta. She isn't going to fuck you. Lol at the dude who dropped 125,000 on a chick. Over the internet. Gratis. Get a receipt next time kid.

2. The dude ripped an old photo of HIS WIFE. Not only is she not fucking you, she is fucking the guy who is laughingly toying with you.

3. The company secretly loves this shit. Free publicity is directly equivalent to preselection. And with women taking over the consumer market, i guarantee they will be out there tomorrow with their brilliant iideas for ankle bracelet dongles. And you will give them free money for this shit.

Hahaha

so much for male privilege.

This should be readily apparent to any of us with troll okc accounts.

To learn who rules over you, notice who you cannot criticize.

I have personally observed this to be true. It really does make a modest but appreciable difference.

This is why all my online trader and online poker names consist of elements like "pinky", "lass", "7", "69", "cupcake", "cutiepie", "pixie", "fairy", and other girlie words.

Does it come across as a bit Gay on my part? Maybe. I don't care. I'd rather take the extra money.

I say we all start doing this. Not to the point of getting arrested for fraud, but if we can use this to our advantage like they do, fuck it.

Because according to feminists, gender doesn't matter in any situation ever. We are interchangeable, right?

If you want smoother customer service interactions, choose a female name.

Dude is a serial liar and fraud; Just read the article. He created a "reality" website and gave fake names because really it was all staged. He had to create a false identity because his credibility was destroyed. I bet he resorts to fraud after fraud because nobody wants to do business with someone they cant trust. The guy is better off using his skills in some sort of illegal market, the pay is better and sketchy behavior is expected.
