The quote about getting your users laid has been one of my AIM away messages for the last two years. I believe the phrase may have also showed up in a business plan or two :-)
"Your "use case" should be, there's a 22 year old college student living in the dorms. How will this software get him laid?" -- jwz, http://www.jwz.org/doc/groupware.html
Which is to say, selling sex has always been a nice business.
You should also consider an MVP approach. What is the minimal viable product I can entice these customers with? I mean... what is the least I can do in order to get laid as quickly as possible?
User #333 here. Back in the day, someone offered me oral sex for the low user number. What a perfect metaphor for the dot-com era: offering to wildly overpay for a social media asset that would eventually turn out to be useless.
Alternatively, if it will help them get laid more, they will pay for it as well. If your consumer oriented software does anything else other than helping users make more money / get more/better sex, then your consumers will definitely be fickle.
Though you could think of it that way, I think it's more likely that sex sells, and the creator of this app thought that putting sexy silhouettes on his app would rake in the users.
