I could see a scenario like this ending up in HuffPo, with some ruthless golddigger triggering general Internet outrage. In real life, it's pretty ludicrous.

2 years is a drop in the bucket. You don't really fall for this, do you? Don't be a sucker!

for a guy, sperm is wasted, so compensation is warranted too.
.10 a sperm is the market rate.

I'm sure it will flood the courts one day.

America's 'dumbing down' society + too many lawyers fighting for billable hours = just another train wreck.

Regarding a potential request for $5,000 for 'wasting her time'. . . .


When I am in a relationship for a period of two years - there is a significant chance that I am already into the experience for well over $100,000, and most of the women I have been with are smart enough to grasp basic math: so asking for $5k would be laughable at that point.

If she asked for 5g's I would in turn ask for 20g's, I would subtract the 5g's like a gentleman and have her reimburse me 15g's.
