Every wanted to make a list of stupid reasons why other people should do stuff? Probably not. But ever wanted to work with a bunch of people to make a list of stupid reasons why other people should do stuff? OF COURSE YOU DO! That's why this site is here :)
It all started about 2 years ago when my friend, Evan, and I were joking about building a website devoted to why women should date me. We talked about whyyoushouldgoonadatewithme.com (I don't own that domain, don't go there) but the domain was too confusing. So I suggested whyyoushould.org/go/on/a/date/with/me (the dot com was taken) and we had a good laugh.
But then I thought about it a little more and realized two things: 1) it could have reasons why you should do anything, and 2) why not let anyone add their reasons too. So I registered whyyoushould.org with the express purpose of getting whyyoushould.org/date/jonathan online as quickly as possible.
The site sat around for a while, and I started using it as a testbed for various software I wrote. I even made a YouTube video of its features back when it was still totally gross looking. Eventually, my friends forced me to make it look a little better. Andre gave me a design and I added a few new features along the way.
Anyhow, that's the sad little story about how a website devoted to getting me dates (it didn't work) ended up becoming the
awesomesite you see today.
No more questions.
