Yeah, it does seem a bit like a classy prostitution ring, although there are ruder words to describe what's going on.  I suppose they ostensibly find marriage matches rather than just sex, so maybe they can dodge the charge of promoting prostitution that way.

[Cthulhu]

Nah, I don't think it's prostitution, I think it's just gold diggaz.

[Rilder]

Nah, I don't think it's prostitution, I think it's just gold diggaz.

Its like dwarf fortress but with breasts!

Some women are attracted to money. I don't really see how it's any worse than the "Find Asian Singles!" and similar ads for men.

How do you compare financial status to having kinks for ethnicity?

How do you compare financial status to having kinks for ethnicity?

What a silly question. You do it the way I just did. Briefly and without explanation.

Anyway, I think the two are comparably shallow. I'm not without my kinks, but I'm not going to pretend that they're somehow more noble than dating someone for money. It's all about priorities, I guess. Lots of women have a very legitimate attraction to power, as well, and money = power, generally speaking.

Besides that, I assume they're both actually just scams that prey on the lonely.

[Cthulhu]

I don't see how finding a certain set of features attractive is equivalent to dating someone only for money.

Unless you like harass anyone who doesn't match your ideal, or something.

Mary and John are both dating people they do not respect.
John is dating a woman he finds vapid and boring. But she has big tits, so you know, go John.
Mary is dating a man she finds vapid and boring. But he has lots of money, so you know, Mary is a shallow whore.

Is that right? How is being attracted to someone based on physical features any less shallow than being attracted to someone based on possessions? Is one really so abhorrent compared to the other? I think the former is a more masculine line of reasoning, and the latter more feminine. Ask any guy with a BMW, lots of girls find that stuff attractive, whether or not they are actively golddigging.

[Cthulhu]

So you're not allowed to think a person is attractive?  Should we all wear paper bags over our heads so we only know each other's personalities?

[Enzo]

YES.

...no. I'm saying neither are bad, not both We are perfectly entitled to seek out whatever we want in a partner. Someone is not morally reprehensible because money is a high priority for them.

You seem to have missed the section of the add that says "Sugar Daddy dating" (bad spelling intentional)

[JoshuaFH]

Let me fix up that example for you, so it makes just a tad more sense:

Mary and John are both dating people they do not respect.
John is dating a woman he finds vapid and boring. But she has big tits, so you know, go John.
Mary is dating a man she finds vapid and boring. But he has a big package, so you know, go Mary.

Also,

So you're not allowed to think a person is attractive?  Should we all wear paper bags over our heads so we only know each other's personalities?

Isn't that why women are made to wear burqas in Islamic countries? I swear being told that once...

[kholhaus]

Reminds me of the All-Gay Alaskan Adventure Cruise.

It's those little details.

[Leafsnail]

Isn't that why women are made to wear burqas in Islamic countries? I swear being told that once...

Not all Islamic countries.  And in the ones that do, it's generally a tool of oppression.  But I'd prefer to avoid starting an argument on that.

[Neonivek]

Isn't that why women are made to wear burqas in Islamic countries? I swear being told that once

That is one of the reasons but not the main reason which is to deflect the interest of men or something... Not so men can get to know women personally. In fact I think it is more centered around some flamewar causing stuff.

in the ones that do, it's generally a tool of oppression

Yeah I can see why it could be that way and yeah I can see a flamewar based on this.

Though not all Islamics are the same.
