At this point I'm thinking we should legalize prostitution and criminalize dating.
Dating these days is what prostitution would be if it was published by EA. They added gambling mechanics and season passes.
You do know you don't need a dating app for dating, right?
Who said anything about apps?
I probably misunderstood you. What did you mean by "They added gambling mechanics and season passes."?
Okay, let's put it this way:
Head out to Nevada, walk into one of the brothels they got outside Las Vegas. "One sex act, please." "That will be number of dollars." "Here is that number of dollars." "Here is your sex act, and your receipt." "Thank you, have a nice day."
Meanwhile, go wherever it is you think you can meet women. Avoid female coworkers. Meet a girl at a bar and she actually gives you her number, what's the chance she ghosts you after 5 or 6 of the expensive dinner dates she demands you take her on?
I reiterate, dating is like prostitution as published by EA.
sounds like a you problem... banning it for everyone else is not the answer
I don't think this is how dating works. What you describe is just looking for a quick sexual partner, for which prostitution can be more suitable. Dating is about relationships not just about sex, right? You won't get that by taking a number from a random girl in a bar. The easiest way for dating is to make friends first, a nice friend group or two with both men and women, based on shared interests, compatible personalities... Friend groups allow for meeting more people of your kind (friends of friends) and create a prefiltered pool of people where it's much easier to find a partner for a serious relationship. Quite different from prostitution.
lmao, you are so close to understanding what is being said to you, yet clearly so far away...
Ok, so if I'm close, why don't you explain instead of lyao.
Losers of the world unite! All women must be trafficked!
Prostitution is legal here. Where are you?
The majority of the United States.
A very small portion of the world
casually glances around the third largest nation on earth yeah. So tiny.
