When I was a kid, I asked why they did that. Dad told me that Harley's idle so low that you have to give them a bit of gas to keep them from stalling. Fast forward to the first time I took a l Harley out on a demo day as an adult... And it idled without a problem.

Dad, you got me!

I don't do online dating now that I'm married, but I used OK Cupid for a couple of years. I had a nice, weekly routine of bad dates going for a while, a.k.a. the "Afflo Buys Single Ladies' Dinners "Fund. One of my takeaways in speaking to women is that they are constantly pelted by messages, many obscene at worst, and low effort at best.

Has there been any consideration given to limiting the shot-gun blasts of messages that men send on the site? Perhaps a down-voting type of system that would limit the ability to send out new messages? Women have told me that they considered dropping it simply because their inboxes would fill with garbage and they would miss messages that they genuinely would have liked to see.

(Alas, I met my wife through Meetup.com, which is ostensibly NOT a dating site, but worked out well enough for me.)
