Q: Do you have to be both bitter and a slut to qualify as a BitterSlut?
A: While almost all BitterSluts are occasionally bitter, not all of them are sluts. Of course, some are sluts (and not necessarily bitter about it). And some aren't actually sluts or bitter (at least anymore). But all BitterSluts embrace the term with a wink and a smirk.

Q: Who started this site, anyway?
A: The site was conceived on a chilly day in November, 1997, when an ironically monogamous, happy-go-lucky graphic designer was called a "bitter slut" by an ex-partner during their breakup. Rather than scream or cry in protest, the fearless designer (posting as the Bitter Queen) decided to embrace the term and launch a Web site (along with everyone else in San Francisco).

Q: How has BitterSlut survived the dot-com crash?
A: Since BitterSlut has never received funding or attempted to advertise, there was no cash to squander or revenue to lose. In other words, a business model can't fail if you don't have one to begin with (oops!).
