Top 10 Reasons Why Girls Are Like VCs

So we established today that I'm certifiably nuts, because at dinner earlier today with two of my apparently single friends when we were talking about asking people out I made the analogy that asking a girl out is like raising money from VCs (and yes, I have had a little bit of experience with both in order to qualify me to make this analogy, fortunately or unfortunately, my track record with VCs is a little better!).

Of course that comment caught the attention of my friends and so they asked why. At dinner I had only a few points. But now at 3:00 AM on the morning, I have a full Letterman-style Top 10 List. And no, I didn't get this from anywhere, this is a sneaker original! Here goes....

10. There are always more of us and less of them.
09. Before you try approaching one, you must eat your pride and bury your ego six feet under.
08. You must have a reference for a proper introduction, cold-calls generally do not get a good response.
07. They don't look at you if someone else isn't already looking at you.
06. They expect you to do all the work while they just sit there and look pretty.
05. Even when you do approach them, they always play hard to get.
04. You buy the drinks.
03. You never get a straight answer, they always string you along, even when they know there is no chance in hell.
02. When one says yes, all of them say yes.
01. Asking a girl out or trying to raising money from a VC both suck.
