How's this for a business plan?

Create a giveaway magazine with a name that sounds like some cheap back-alley porno. Create one of those "links to a gazillion ads" domains that shows you don't even have the HTML programming skills of a 3-year old. Sit on it until some awesome women create a successful social network - in their spare time. Decide you also want to create a social networking site for women. Sue the awesome women for "trademark infringement" since their domain name (which they had first) is similar to yours (which is the same as a very common article of clothing.) Lose. Threaten to sue some more, until they change their site's name to something equally awesome (maybe even more awesome), and you incur the wrath of the very audience you created your site to serve (including one who is quite possibly sitting on a goodly portion of the world's reserves of Xanax. And who isn't afraid to use it.)

Way to go, chuckleheads. I'm sure your VC backers are just gonna love you for this one. Maybe next time, you will read your history before you go out and repeat it.

On the other hand... go and visit this awesome site right now. Even if you are a guy. It is that damn good.
