No need to single out entrepreneurs other than the fact some of them might be a little bit less socially acclimated than people from other high work hour field like medicine, law, and banking.

Personally, I seriously doubt I would date anyone who worked a lot of hours a week, with the hours I work and study it would be hellish to coordinate time together.

This is why you see people who are workaholic paired with partners who are just the opposite. With two workaholics it's going to be tough to simply coordinate time together. If one person in the relationship has more give in their schedule it's going to make things a lot easier.

One solution is to date/marry someone who works with you -- an actual "partner" in your life. If you do this, you'll need to take care to have a life apart as well, but from my experience, that's doable.

I think that's a terrible idea. That way, business stress becomes personal stress. A business failure can become a relationship failure. If you win, you've won big - you've created a true "family business" and your partner in business is your partner in life. If you lose, you lose big, as the dissolution of the business can result in the dissolution of your relationship as well.

A person who doesn't respect another person's time: asshole. There are plenty of great guys building great companies who respect someone's time, and realize that they probably shouldn't be dating if they're cranking out 18 hour days.

I'd like to see one called "why family-oriented coders are not welcome in most startups"

That's ok, after having done it once[1], and been written about as a result, I'll never date a reporter again.

[1] over a decade ago. Date was made under false pretenses. I though it was date, she was gathering material.
