Feeling much better today, which means hopefully, you and I will both agree that this is more brilliant and delicious than a medium rare steak on the fourth of july. (if you’re happily married, kindly discontinue reading. you’re not going to give a shit about this, unless you’re looking to have an affair. but keep in mind, if your spouse catches you, if you say you got the idea on TSF you’re going to reimburse me the domain fee.)
How many times have you seen someone on the subway you were attracted to, but never made a move on them because chatting up the people who take public forms of transportation isn’t socially acceptable? Something like 8 times, right?
Well today’s your lucky day, lonesome lurker! submate.com lets you enter the times you take the subway and the stations you use to get to work, and then matches you to the people who are also taking the subway during those times and allows you to message them and woo them with your wittiest line (which will undoubtedly be the double entendre on the pink tint of the “financial times” you use to impress people when you’re in a pinch). it’s essentially “mixed connections” on craigslist revamped, with much more specificity.
do i think this is a good idea? sure. there are zebras in this world, so i guess there can be a website that helps people reconnect with who they meet on the subway. however, if i sent you a message on submate.com, asking you something witty, like “was today the first time you wore those dockers?” would you message me back?
courtesy, obviously, of the post, where love knows no bounds.
