So what? What does that have to do with dating?

Plenty of free sex to be had in the U.S. It's pretty incredible people would travel for it.

Dates aren't paying for sex. The two situations aren't anything alike, since paying generally goes back and forth, and the purpose of dates isn't for sex.

And you don't have to date to get sex either.

Quit being rational, please.

haha good one. Many people are not as blessed socially as you seem to be. Just because you get lucky doesn't mean it works for the majority of men. As I stated earlier if your not super attractive the odds are stacked heavily against you.

I'm not blessed socially. Far from it. A number of my friends consider me rather socially awkward. I'm definitely not good looking: bald, glasses, poor posture, no jawline at all, and I don't earn very much in a very high COL city... I honestly can't think of a single person that I know that does get "lucky" relatively frequently if they want to. Every dude certainly is, even the short and obese ones.

Still, I and everyone I know dates because they want to get to know the person they're on the date with. If they just wanted sex they'd go the FB or FWB route. It's easier to find that a good date!

Timbercart is a massive stud, and gets trim by the, umm... cart load. Don't you know? He struggles so little with women, that the rest of American men have it easy too by proxy. Just get the memo notarized and you're good to go.

I agree with Timerbline that the purpose of dating isn't supposed to be sex. If that's your one and only goal, then yeah, go to a prostitute and don't bother with dating. Save everyone a lot of heartache and trouble. By using dating to have sex you are muddying the waters for those who are looking for something that is more than just sex.

Dating is for forming a relationship and bond with someone... you become a companion, lover, friend, confidant, etc, etc... is sex part of it? Yes (usually... hopefully, lol). But dating is about so much more. The goal and purpose of dating is to form a relationship of which, sex, is only a part of the deal.

Yet I've never said any such thing. Nor implied any such thing. I'm an all too average joe shmo that has the normal struggles of any dude with average looks, average at best job, zero fashion sense, and am overwhelmingly average or below in most aspects of life.

I just don't whine away at how hard things are, because in reality, it has never been simpler to meet people and get dates thanks to things like OLD.

But keep up your bitterness and fairy tale writing! That is sure to help you.

Exactly. It is about finding connections, and laughing, and getting to know someone... its all about having fun. Hopefully sex happens if that is there, but if you're goal is to get laid: you're doing it wrong.
