Oh No, What Is This

Before, if your friends thought you'd hit it off with someone, they'd drag your ass to Smoke's and make you Meep them the old-fashioned way. But now there's a new website aimed at expediting sorta-blind dates: Blindesque. Spawned from the same brain that gave you PennEats, this is, well... kind of creepy.
According to the description, you can make:
a profile for your friend (feel free to not tell her/him), and you will then have access to a database of other profiles, created by friends. You will only be able to see select information about each person, but if you like what you see, click the 'connect' button next to their profile. Once they accept, you both have access to last names, a headshot picture, and, of course, a message option. Only people who have verified Penn email addresses can sign up. So go ahead and try it out. Your friend will never be contacted and doesn't even necessarily know about it... So what have you both got to lose?
