    All the way back in 2004, it was probably part of Stoppelman's original plan

    • 478 friends
    • 37 reviews

    it was the original plan, Chrys- they created a dating site, then people started writing reviews out of boredom

    • 75 friends

    Yelp has always been a site where men and women talk with each other, and therefore some will end up dating. There's nothing wrong with that, I can't understand why people are so uptight about it.

    Guys are gonna hit on you. That's our job. That's what we do. That's as true here as it is in real life, if you have one (the general "you"). Some will be cool and attractive, awkward and ugly.

    I mean, you can't tell me this is worse than being trapped by a drunk slob in the corner of some dark bar, who won't leave you alone after he bought you a drink. And now he demands your attention, and he's standing right in front of you, blowing stale beer breath in your face.

    Steve -- the strategy of one young woman I know is to order shots when guys want to buy her drinks. Then if they become unacceptable for whatever reason, the drink is downed and she can move on.

    So, Namuna, what seems to be the problem?

    Too many suitors?
    Boring or otherwise unappealing guys hitting on you?
    Crude approaches bordering on sexual harassment?
    Or what?

    Yelp was originally headquartered in "Man Jose" before it relocated to SF. Since San Jose is predominantly male, the intent was to have a dating site... that happens to have business reviews. Sexier than TripAdvisor and Angie's List. Angie's List is no Ashley Madison.

    ^Seriously though, Linked-In's current strategy is to make everyone get as many connections as possible -- you can no longer see the pages of those not in your network as far as I can tell. So why not invite Taylor to be a connection?

  4. Steve, that's when you belch in his face. ;-)

    Yelp has NEVER been a dating site. People are just shallow and desperate. And Taylor, landing interviews doesn't guarantee jobs...it's ridiculous and unrealistic to want only one type of person working at places lol

  8. Well it's not supposed to be, nor is it the point of yelp. But it is a way for people to meet, just like sooo many other social media apps and sites. I have a friend who meets most of his girlfriends through twitter. ??

    To each their own.

    Jenny, Twitter is normal. Facebook is somewhat normal. Yelp? Not so normal. You can't even navigate through this site the way you do other sites so how are you people dating?? Can we not have ONE platonic site where people aren't trying to only hit on "hot yelp users" and ignore all the others who have great reviews just because they aren't "hot looking"? Come on.

    • 103 friends
    • 149 reviews

    Taylor, Tinder and match are DESIGNED for meeting people. So it's not desperate. Yelp is DESIGNED for great reviews, and you get to meet other yelpers at YELP EVENTS. You can date there. Not on the site.

    Different people have different ideas about what sleazy is Marquis. Your description of yourself would come across to most people in this country as completely sleazy. You obviously have a different interpretation. I can use it both ways depending on my agenda.

    Marqus, most of the nation is very conservative and would consider you to be a complete slut. Try to be a little realistic. As for me, I only think you are a sleazy tramp. Then again, I think most people whore themselves for the almighty dollar. When I was younger and worked on track homes, I whored myself for a measly $24 an hour plus benefits. I beat the shit out of my body and now I get to pay for it. I have to admit backing my truck up to a foundation, stripping down to short pants and tennis shoes (boots made you too slow) cranking up the stereo, putting on my nail bags and going balls to the wall for 8 hours could be quite fun at times. Frame a house a day by yourself or get fired. Just go for it. Take no prisoners. If someone got in your way you ripped their head off and shit down their throat. Those were the days.Life was good as long as they cleaned the outhouses a couple of times a week.

    There is no such thing as a bad date. Sometimes it is entertaining and can be quite different but then that is an unique experience, not a bad date. So what if she is strange as hell and has extra nipples in weird  places or wants to spend the whole date telling you how much she hates her ex boyfriend. So what if her mustache begins to show halfway through the date. So what if she just wants to talk about how great her father is or what happened last week on day of our lives. So what if she spends the whole time talking to her girl friend on her cell phone. Just ask her if her girl friend is interested in a threesome. Probably not but you will either get a threesome or you won't have to put up with her talking to her girl friend anymore. Its a win/win situation and actually kind of fun when you think about it.

    It's called "Look at me: Don't look at me."

    "Oh, why can't I just post a picture of myself in a bikini with my tits hanging out and NOT get PMs from creepy guys?"

    "I'm wiggling in the mirror with my hot new dress. DON'T LOOK AT ME!!!!"

    "Oh, you caught me with a candid picture of me just lounging on my bed, arched back, in a tank top, trying not to look like I'm looking for attention, but I totally took 100 shots to make me look hot. DON'T LOOK AT ME!!!"

    Tolls always have the best insight. I asked the same question: why do women post seductive, sexy or suggestive pictures of themselves, then pretend to dislike the attention. It's like they just arrived from a planet with no men.

    Yes, before the inevitable flood of protests that "men do it too,"...not the same thing by a longshot. We're all adults, we know the game.

    I like Tapatio a lot, too.  I find that Tabasco tastes better on fried chicken than Tapatio does.  Now, if only Tapatio is available and not Tabasco, I'm sure not turning down Tapatio!

    If you're on a Yelp date, and you like Tapatio and your date likes Tabasco, then does it become a bad date?
