Contrarian take..... I think "hookup culture" and "situationship" are just new language for what has always been "casual dating." I think it's normal to date (defining that as "seeing people w/o exclusive commitment) for years without falling in True Love (commitment), especially while young, and to feel the tension of both rejection and repulsion in romance and sex. Low key it's character-building, high-key it's emotionally vulnerable and that is *real*

I am a big advocater for escorts. I will say it from the male perspective, but I am sure some one could make equivalent argument from a female perspective.

People call you a loser, but actually I spend less money, much less time (which is money, especially if you run you're own business like I do), you have 0 drama, and you get more sex, then most men do (at least agter some years of relationship).

I always chose girls who are paid and treated well, enjoy what they do, have a good life, no addictions, etc.

I am very happy and this release so much tension after each week, and for many men this would be much better option than spending huge money and time on failed dates, or jn relationships with a girl who is bored of hjm, turn kff the lighr, and is thinking in Brad Pitt when they have sex.

Of course if you are a very good looking man (top 10%) you don't need this, but for the rest, it is a better deal.

For women, idk if that is a solution but I am sure they can find others. Possibly having sex with chads and then draining simps online lol, this way they have bith needs met, the sex, and the material ones also.
