It Probably Still Feels Really Terrible When the 'Observer' Writes About You
"To hear the city’s female entrepreneurs tell it, an ambiguous date-meeting with Charlie O’Donnell is almost a rite of passage—like living on ramen while you launch your first app…. What seemed to grate on many of Mr. O’Donnell’s targets was the sense that they’d been subjected to a romantic version of the bait-and-switch: expecting a meeting, they’d found themselves on a date. " But why are you entrepreneuresses holding out on all this? (I mean, besides, I guess, that he lives in Bay Ridge. Must love R trains!)
Wait so does he play tennis in his apartment, too? Gamechanger.
[Disclosure: While Betabeat was reporting this story, we discovered that an Observer Media employee had briefly dated Mr. O’Donnell. She had no involvement in this article.]
@Dan Kois That is kind of amazing right?
@Choire Sicha How embarrassing is that? "Yes, I dated a guy with the head and hand size of an 8 year old."
@zidaane Book your own dream date here.
@zidaane Aww he seems befuddled. I don't know why I have this soft spot for him! (I don't know him.)
@Choire Sicha [Disclosure: While writing this post, I discovered myself briefly imagining a dream date with Mr. O’Donnell.]

His forehand looks weak.
@Kevin : That photo just gets more and more unflattering the longer you look at it.
@Kevin Right? Is that a Western grip?
@hman Really? I thought with these new-fangled high tech racquets you are supposed to hit really flat. A western grip would be fine for that. It looks like he's emulating Andre Agassi in 1996 and will come wayyyy over it would a silly amount of top spin.
@NinetyNine I haven't actually played tennis since 1995.
I am not outraged.
