Kitties are wonderful too! Meow!

I agree that 80 bucks could go a long way in improving life for animals or other people in this world.

Yep, I have a couple of cats along with my dogs. One of the cats; "Flea Taxi" is sitting in my lap right now.

You are right, but that my friend, is sad indeed.

Default Utterly absurd

Hugs can be very powerful, but not if you pay for them. Seems too hollow, insincere, artificial. It's also sexually suggestive. If a person is so starved for affection that they have to pay for a hug, that person has some serious issues that can't be remedied by such a hug.

Listening to this young, attractive woman talk about the service is so annoying too because she sounds like she's on the verge of breaking out into laughter with each word she utters. Hard to take her seriously, as well as this type of service. It's like paying someone by the minute to pretend to love you. Ridiculous.

Very saddening. Goes to show just how bad dating and relationships have become.

A man paying a woman his hard earned money for a hug is about bad as it gets.

Some guy tried to start a place that was going to provide this sort of service, supposedly in a "safe and monitored" environment. This was in Madison, WI (IIRC). He shut down after about a month, due to all the media scrutiny and controversy.

Want a hug? Get out and make a friend, volunteer to help the elderly in their homes, get involved in a church or outreach center, visit a shut in, sign up for anything to get you out among people and start learning to give of yourself to others and make the world a better place.
Take that 80 bucks and walk into a Good Will center and give it to the poorest person you see.
Give to others and you will ''get back'' more than you give, plus brighten the world with your caring attitude and generous spirit.
