I could have been more specific, but paying for advertising on OKCupid for this startup in particular is just not going to work. It's not cost effective and very few people will be clicking through on those ads.

I guess the better way to put it is that if your startup has to resort to paid advertising as the main user acquisition funnel, you probably already lost unless you have ridiculous conversion and LTV on each user.
