Shareholder Control

A new shareholder question!

If this passes I need to construct a way for shareholders to control/advise/oversee/??? my romantic life. I'd be interested in exploring this concept with you all (seeing as many of you are K5M shareholders). How would it work?

I am imagining some sort of web app. Like romance.kmikeym.com or something. But as for the exact mechanics, I'm not sure...

    This is sure to go over well with the ladies.

    I can't believe that all your friends think they will decide better than you... it's rich all right.

    It's totally normal.

    If I was to start dating someone I'd surely talk about it with my friends. And if my friends were like, "No. Don't date this person." then that would carry a lot of weight because my friends care about me. Also, if my friends were like, "Hey Mike, meet this person." it would be because they think we're compatible and they should know... they know me really well.

    In my case my friends are shareholders. They still have my best interests at heart. They care about me. They are invested.

    The point of this thread is to brainstorm ways in which the shareholders can apply that influence. As I said, I tend to think it's some sort of web app. But at what point do they have a say and how does the app work and what does it do?

    You all had so many great wine puns... I'm sure you have ideas for this!

    I think it's a very private site where you are just very open and we vote anonymously. So you ask the same questions you would ask of yourself when thinking about your dating life, and you get an external opinion.

    Or just start a livejournal.

    @YoursTruly Talk to your lover. I reset it for him during the last vote.
  • 12341234
    @Marc_Zuckerburg Interesting. Also encourages people I date to buy shares. :)
  • LelandLeland
    Wait. Will this resolution be retroactive in respect of your association with an entity from Seatac?
  • 12341234
    I think yes. She's a little nervous about it. But she never bought shares, you know?
  • Cherry_PieCherry_Pie
    I will be voting early and often!

    You might pick up some dating information organization strategies from this guy.

    Let's not use the word, "Jappy" though, ok?

    "I work with spreadsheets a lot," he told us. "It's a great additional tool. I work long days, go to the gym, go out on a couple of midweek dates or what not, get home late...how am I going to remember them?"

    I get it... he's busy, you're busy. You need to outsource your love life. Because how are you going to remember what you're feeling at any given moment?
  • 12341234
    This doesn't seem that unreasonable. Clearly he shouldn't have shared it. Just goes to show you what sort of mistakes a person will make when entering a relationship. LESSON LEARNED: I'm password protecting all my spreadsheets.

    But also, let's be honest, that's very different from what I'm proposing.
  • MirandaJulyMirandaJuly
    Spreadsheet thing is definitely kind of odd, but also weird that there's no taking the girl to task for violating his trust. It's pretty shitty to let a guy think he's developing some sort of relationship with you, which is of course built on trust, and then be like "Just kidding! We're still in middle school! I only got you to write that love note so I could show it to all my friends and laugh at you." Just really immature.

    Also, what's the difference between his spreadsheet and a diary? Just that it is on graph paper? I think posting this was a pretty weak call, but on the other hand... It's gawker.
