Only if they offered me 1/3rd of any Brigade of Carnations they're able to get their hands on! Then I would consider a date...

is shipping still $5? I'm in! I'll just pray I DONT get the bagel or crepe!

I would say "Hell yes I'd use this," but my SO probably reads this blog and would see my comment. I guess we'd probably end up imitating that Rupert Holmes song.

Meet women on woot! - wow! I'm in for three!

True here as well. Sigh.
But do it! It'll be a blast reading descriptions people write.

What's the male/female ratio on Woot? Not very good I'd expect.

Maybe it would have to be like clubs, where guys pay but women are free.

Will you utilize the Shirt.woot Derby feature "I'd want one"?

As a young woman who likes nerdy guys, I'd generally be all for this idea, but without pictures it's basically useless. On other dating sites, if a person messages me without a picture there is no way I will meet them offline, or even message them back. Too anonymous and creepy (and online personals are anonymous and creepy enough as it is, even with pictures).

I think the pertinent question to ask is would Woot girls consider dating Woot guys. Guys will date anything so long as it has pretty hair. Along with a few other things.

I'm like the sixth refurbished Roomba at 5pm on the last day of a Woot-Off that everyone just wants out of the way because there's probably a Bunch of Crepes or something awesome coming after

i think all the photoshop contest people who you've helped get their prizes think you're pretty goddessly.

Even better!!

I would like to see what the "bagel or crepe" would offer.

If I were not already happily married, I'd be a little worried about getting a refurbished wife. Is the warranty still 90 days? She'd probably still be running the old 1.0 operating system. So many out there running 2.0 or 2.5 now...

I apologize for the amount of messages you have received as a result of this post having fulfilled the three things most single male Wooters are looking for (female, pulse, into technology).

Embrace the changing of your account name. Smile. Laugh. Come to the realization that you will never post your affinity towards nerdy guys online again. Ever.

The guy in the apartment down the hall from me is a wooter. I see his woot boxes come through the leasing office alongside mine. ^_^ If only I knew his username, we could hit it off online! ^_^

Mmm. I think it'd be an interesting experiment ... so yeah. To use the classic shirt.woot method - I'd want one.

As long as there's a Bag-o-stuff option.

ummm In for 3 !

Oh! You can even get all eHarmony on us and match people based on woots. I'd start buying more knives!

I guess that adds a whole new element to being able to shout: FIRST!

So, I guess it's a good thing all the photochop contests have died off. These 'men' who message you could focus on that Optimus Prime torso the nerdy girls dig.

If we ever choose to meet another wooter meet in a very very public place ;)

Interesting concept:

"Lonely male wooter seeks companionship. Love walks on the beach, respiffed Sansas, Roombas, Merlot 3 packs, and long evenings in front of the laptop during woot offs."

Don't think it will fly.

It may not "fly" but it would be fun to read...for a few minutes.

Would the slogan be "One Day, One Date"?

I'm in!

Sounds like a cool idea to me lol. I spend all of my time on the computer, so I never get to see people in real life.

Depends on which way you're looking.

We could also institute a DateOff, although my self esteem would crumble when everyone in the comments called me a DateOff killer.

As someone recently divorced, I'm in for 3!

It should be formatted like deals.woot, where we can vote up good profiles and leave snarky comments.

In all seriousness, it's a fine idea, but if you're really thinking "no pictures" would fly than you're out of luck. That's kind of an essential part of these kinds of sites. Plus cost is always an issue... there's some pretty good free sites out there, so if you plan on charging you might have a tough time getting it started.

So ...
If someone were to be listed on the Woot Personals for 3 months without any action, would they be posted in a Woot-off at a lower cost? (On the other hand, this idea suggests that "Woot-off" could become a whole new euphamism.)

And the idea of having a "w00t-0ff Party" would take a whole new context!

They'd also have to make a new box to go by your name. Not sure what it would represent though... # of dates with other w00ters? (Black box = 100+ Dates, SBCJester21 is sluttier than everyone else ;o)

Snarky comments are a must!

But as for costs vs. free, there should be a minimum amount of woots required to join. Because seriously, we don't want random weirdos joining. Just the weirdos we already know.

This sounds like fun, or truly horrifying, either way it would be entertaining. Though I'd rather have pictures even if it is a face edited onto a screaming monkey.

As a geeky/nerdy girl I prefer a similar or greater level of geekyness (or nerditude) in guys. Woot seems a great place to meet people like that.

Judging by your colored triangle and square (and that you're a woot staffer, of course), you're not random here.

But you're more than welcome to be random in real life.
