This site doesn't have a way to report troll posts like yours? Shame. Doubt I will make it a habit to visit here.

Don't be ignorant. I am in Canada and this guy is in California. I have never met him, have no link to him in any way, and just found this site like 3 days ago.

I have none. His website looks nice, his business model is sound, and people are talking crap about it simply because they don't personally see a need for it. I felt like defending that.

I am not sure what the point of that comment is.

That's a very strange opinion you have. It isn't necessarily supposed to be helpful, but rather truthful. How many people are comfortable asking someone on the street for complete honesty? Very few. The ones who are, are not the target market for this service.

To me, his bio says "I am a pretty average guy, with above average intelligence. I am the guy you are trying to impress at the bar, I am your bro who never invites you to the gym, I am in the front row of your concert."

That's the most important thing. It's private. Also, redditors tend to tell others they are the most beautiful unique flower in the world, when everyone else sees a hideous ogre. This is why a service like this is so much better.

He isn't trying to suggest this is a service which everyone will find useful or interesting. It actually takes a lot of honesty with yourself to even understand why you might need this service. Thousands of people every day make decisions on their own, or on the advice of others, which are badly informed decisions. This guy could help them.

For $10, he isn't going to send you a 5 word email and ignore you forever. He is going to have a reasonable dialogue pertaining to your question/concern. If you say "No bro, I am not looking to score" he will ask "OK, well what are your intentions? What is your actual concern with your outfit?"

Give it a bit of time. He is going to reply personally and probably got dozens of questions. It might take a day to reply to them all.
