Good luck and may you receive all that you deserve!
Could you explain to me how I'm punishing women by not speaking to them unless you're implying that women are owed attention from me?

This is the only life you get Dissenter.
Um hello? The key word is trainer. Dude probably don't have a gut, if he exists (are people 300+ lbs even getting hired to be trainers?) I do have a gut, I've gotten rid of a nice portion of it but still pretty noticeable. Again, comparisons aren't valid to my situation.

HUH?? Because if you yourself are a 3, why do you think you should have an 8?

Do *YOU* bring those types of looks to the table?

No? But you want SOMEONE ELSE to?

Good luck with that.

I never said I should have anything but my point was even if I'm a three that won't make me be attracted to another three, what you're describing is a relationship built out of desperation. I would rather deal with prostitutes and I already do.

I would do this too. Not for sex, but you know the people who charge for cuddling services? I would totally employ a hot guy just for cuddling.

Asymmetrical relationships happen.

But in order for YOU to compensate for being a "3" physically...
you'll have to compensate for that by being a "9" in a few other areas to attract a "7"; let alone a "9".
Maybe you have a great Personality? or high Income? or Intelligence?
It'll still be tough.

No. She is describing reality.

Good for you.

The question and the forum are about "relationships"
Perhaps you should ask or comment in the personal finance forums about the economics involved.

For what this thread is about using prostitutes is a viable answer so I don't know what your problem is.

To the OP, it's really quite simple. Invest more time on your appearance. Go get a makeover. You saying you're ugly is what calls for some change, and that's fine.

1. Get a nice haircut that's classic, but up to date.
2. Lose or gain some weight, hit the gym -- either one can't hurt
3. Invest in teeth whitening
4. Use moisturizer to replenish dry and damaged skin
5. Go to some stores like H&M/Zara etc, and look into some classic looks, ask store associates for help on what fits and looks good for your body.

You got this.

I am inclined to agree- as the thread is about coping with being unattractive and single, this is surely a response to be expected- it is still a form of human relationship. Whether you agree with it or not is not the issue - it needs to be considered objectively and not subjectively.

In fact, given all the statements being made about 'bringing assets to the table' negotiation and deals between humans under a specific numbering system, is there so much difference in essence between this and the other forms of deals where the earning ability or asset value of a potential partner forms part of the equation? The inference is that looks and money are the main bargaining counters in making a 'match' with personality a possible side element. (I should like to say more on this but haven't the opportunity right now).

It seems to me that the deal with a prostitute is analogous to negotiation for a single use licence whereas the other is the sale of a long lease.....on the basis of the many arguments presented here it is only a matter of degree.

Exactly I think what a lot of people have a problem with is they couldn't or don't have to resort to this. Well congratulations your situation is better than mine.
