Sorry to hear about this, but to clear up a point of confusion, Path.To is not Path the social network


Another interesting color is Cosmic Latte: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_latte


It looks like this site was originally advertised as HarvardConnection.co [1] and that the references to HarvardConnection on the site are vestigial.

For those interested in this sort of "puzzle", the story of Benjamin Kyle is fascinating: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjaman_Kyle


He gave a high-profile Q&A with Reddit this year:

http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/13rs46/i_am_benjaman_k...

One thing not mentioned in wikipedia is that he made a White House petition to replace his Social Security Number, which failed with somewhere over 7,500 signatures (but not enough). Kafkaesque.

I think it's worth reading through the creator's response to the situation: http://pastebin.com/zwHYzCZe. He claims and reasonably supports that the highlighted excerpts were taken out of context.


Definitely. Key part to quote:

> The gist of the controversial advice is "Don't wait for signs before you make your move. Let her be the one who rejects your advances. If she says no, stop immediately and tell her you don't want to do anything that would make her uncomfortable. Try again at a later time if appropriate or cease entirely if she is absolutely not interested."

> The thing that the commenters on social media are leaving out is that the advice was taken from a section in the guide offering advice on what to do AFTER a man has met a cute girl, gotten her phone number, gone on dates, spent time getting to know her, and now are alone behind closed doors fooling around. If "Don't wait for signs, make the first move" promotes sexual assault, then "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid was a song about rape.
