It's not just "date invitation." This is a woman complaining about a guy talking to her at a bar. As a guy, I'd be flattered if a woman asked me out in general, but extremely annoyed if she did it during a job interview.

She's saying that making the conversation an appraisal of the woman's looks instead of ability, the VCs denies her self-determination. She puts forward the archetypical VC-friendly candidate to say he'd be the type of person that would clear a VCs mental filters and actually have a chance at being heard.
