One problem with the dating market today is that prostitution culture didn’t stay on the margins, it’s penetrated the mainstream.
Many now believe that intimacy should be priced, access should be billed monthly and relationships should fund a lifestyle.
People are calling it “standards” when It’s just sex worker logic applied to a framework that’s supposed to be built on connection, mutual investment & longterm commitment.
Now we have normal everyday people living their lives with prostitute principals without even realizing it but expecting traditional results.
when the league got the Wolves for doing this with Joe Smith they voided his contract and took their next 5 firsts. the Clippers don’t even have firsts to give. they might just shoot Steve Ballmer on NBC
