I should get my doctorate so I can write a dissertation on how modern dating is literally pr8stitution in disguise and how men will pay a premium to not have this be their reality.
Men pay more to go around the source versus interact with it directly.
They rebranded seeking to look like a luxury dating site while raising the price.
Clients fall into three main categories:
1. Man in very long term monogamous relationship has wife who won't sleep with him anymore (typically lost sex drive after menopause). He still wants sex, affairs are too dangerous, he doesn't wanna divorce (typically he still really loves her), and so he picks escorts as a compartmentalized, safe way of getting sexual needs met that won't threaten his marriage. He tends to have a long established upper class career, like lawyer, surgeon, successful writer, etc.
2. Young nervous virgin-adjacent guy who wants to get laid but has a lot of trouble with girls. Often wants feedback and to gain experience. Tends to be cracked programmer with a bunch of disposable income.
3. High powered guy (founder, consultant, etc) who could get laid but doesn't have the time. He's in town for one night, is flying out next morning, and just wants a nice date with a girl where he doesn't have to endure any uncertainty about getting laid. He could easily date (often attractive and confident) if he tried and his main bottleneck is free time.
Not all clients fall into these three but this was usually the bulk of them. Most are very wealthy, and typically smart enough that they are high conscientiousness around safety, and thus want to spend more on an escort as a proxy for her also being intelligent, conscientious, and safe herself.
I like you Jon & understand the sentiment. I don’t blame or dislike you or anyone who believes as you do regarding Ai.
I simply disagree with every cell in my body.
We already know that Ai has almost universally been developed by Marxist technocrats or dictators.
We already know, the American Left will use it against the citizens.
We already know Ai has baked in bias.
We already know that every advancement in tech has been used against American citizens.
Surveillance , Patriot Act, FISA Courts, and on and on and on…
This Ai race, no matter who wins it will lead to only one place.
Tyranny.
Digital ID, Social Credit Scores, Digital Currency etc.
That’s complete government & technocrat control of every person on earth.
It’s the END of Liberty.
Mark my words.
