And free returns if you find your item defective.

Well, based on the link you posted, that's not true at all. Women message a much broader range of men than men message women.
I do seem to recall that study saying something along the lines that while women find a lot of men below average looking, we message them anyways. Or that women sent plenty of messages to men that they found to be below average in looks, not just the ones we think are good looking. Which is in some agreement with my point, that looks just aren't everything to women--at least that's been my own experience. I know some women place more importance on a man's looks than others. But a well crafted profile goes a very long way.

There are men here who write so well, and display an interesting way of engaging with life regardless of their circumstances, that I don't need to know a thing about what they look like, to call them "attractive." And then there are some whose attitudes are so stubbornly off-putting, they could look like total studs and still be repellent to women.

Specifically, that rating someone a 1 or a 2 has specific effects on whether the person can be contacted. I think a more accurate statement would be that women looking for online hookups aren’t interested in 80% of men.
Right, EXCEPT the men didnt have an issue finding roughly half the women below and half the above average, for a perfectly expected curve. Is it your assertion, that women on this website are a perfect representation of attractiveness that you would see in real world sample, but only mostly unattractive men sign up for OKC? Or is it perhaps more likely that women see average guys to be less than average, because their expectations are higher and they dont really know what average is for a guy?

Leglaized prostitution actually solves many problems IMO. Its just that feminists wont have any of it, as it threatens value of what they have to offer. All supply and demand, my friend.

For advocates of legalized prostitution like myself we face a two pronged attack one from religious types and another from the hardcore feminists. One day we will prevail it is the only logical solution.

Why there's not legalized prostitution in this country, aside from Nevada, has nothing to do with "feminism". It has everything to do with the fact that nobody wants it in their neighborhood. Ever wonder why the bunny ranches in NV are way out in the desert? Nobody wants one in their suburban development, nor do they want to share a townhome complex with someone who has "gentlemen callers" at all hours of the day and night. Nice attempt to stir things up on the forum, though...

Where did you get this notion? For most average everyday feminists, legal, regulated and safe sex work is nothing but a good thing for all involved.

Be my guest...maybe it'll calm you down and help you think better when you're on an actual date.

Nope. Whom you face attack from is the RE industry, and homeowners. Nobody wants their property values to tank. Nor do they want a steady parade of shady, potentially armed strangers coming and going next door.
