I posted a HowAboutWe profile after my foodie friend Lee retweeted something about “Eater Dating.” Of course I wanted to get in on Eater Dating; I like Eater -> Girls who like Eater share a similar interest -> How About We go have some Lobster Bisque? -> Yadda Yadda Yadda
A few days after I posted some profile pictures and my first date suggestion. I get a few messages from different friends of mine saying that I was featured in their “Recommended Dates” email over the weekend. One of my friends actually forwarded me the email I was in:

I look up at the top right corner and it seems like I am logged in as my friend. The visitors/inbox numbers seem about the same, and apparently I can ask “him” out. I click visitors out of curiosity:

How about we… change her privacy settings?
I’m sure they’ll fix this soon, but in the meantime, how about we not forward anyone our How About We Email?
