We spend a lot of time talking about sex or thinking about sex. We can’t help it, it is how we are geared up. There is also really good arguments as to why nearly everything we do, everything that drives us is about sex. There is an underlying motivation behind all the action that we take, and there is a really good chance that for men many of the reasons that we do what we do all come down to sex.</p> <p><strong>Money</strong></p> <ul> <li>We work to make money so that we can buy things for ourselves and have fun. We do it for us, right? Wrong. Let’s go through the list.</li> <li>Buy a fast car: We want it because we love it. It makes us feel like James Bond... and James bond always gets the girl. Cars are status symbols that show how much money and power we have. Girls want a man that can move in the world and make things happen. The fast expensive car is an expression of that. It makes us feel great – because it makes us feel like women are going to be attracted to us. It was for the sex that we bought the car.</li> <li>Buy an expensive watch: Same as above. If we can afford to blow 10k on a watch, what do you think we could afford to spend on the woman by our side? A shit ton is what. We want the watch because we want to show off, to peacock, to show we have money and lots of it. </li> <li>Buy a house: Oh my god this is like classic Beta nest building here. The house means we have space to house and raise a family – something that a woman would very much desire in a man.</li> <li>Buy ANYTHING: It is for the status symbol, or to make us look attractive like with clothes and shoes, or perhaps it is just so that people can see that we have spent the money, proving that we have the money in the first place. </li> <li></li> </ul> <p>Prostitution is a formalized version of it, and in many ways there is something to be said for the nice clean honest transaction that occurs. We exchange money for sex, and then we are done. There is no doubt or confusion as to what is going on. Do not doubt however that this happens all the time as well in the day to day world, where people will go out with other people for the money in exchange for the sex. It does happen, frequently. I would advise trying to avoid letting it happen to you.</p> Thu, 20 Oct 2016 18:38:42 +0000 EdBennett 6517 at https://www.f-buddy.com https://www.f-buddy.com/ireland/blog/we-make-money-sex#comments Should You Pay To Date? https://www.f-buddy.com/australia/blog/should-you-pay-date <div class="view view-blog-date-tags view-id-blog_date_tags view-display-id-entity_view_1 view-dom-id-403bbebec923c410fcae43577bd52808"> <div class="view-content"> <div> 10 Mar 2013 - 21:45 | Tags: <a href="/australia/blog/tags/pay-date" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">pay to date</a>, <a href="/australia/blog/tags/paying-online-dating" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">paying for online dating</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-images"><img typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" src="https://www.f-buddy.com/sites/f-buddy.com/files/styles/blog-images/public/images/blog/blonde-bomb-229_1.jpg?itok=YXFzvdBV" width="250" height="167" alt="" /><img typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" src="https://www.f-buddy.com/sites/f-buddy.com/files/styles/blog-images/public/images/blog/money-230.jpg?itok=rrF96T5W" width="250" height="228" alt="" /></div><p>Many people think that paying a monthly subscription to an online dating service is tantamount to paying for something that they could otherwise get for free in a bar. Yet the money spent on a night out in a bar makes the money spent on online dating look like loose change. So why then is there still a feeling of stigma attached? Walk into any bar in any city of the world and you can see hundreds of men and women all mingling and chatting, but what are the actual odds of bumping into someone whom you actually get on with?</p> <p>Well we ran the numbers and the results are interesting to say the least.</p> <p>Back in 2010 Peter Backus, a maths genius and tutor at Warwick University ran a study based on the famous Drake Equation (originally used to discover signs of extra-terrestrial life) and calculated that in just London (UK) alone there is a one in 280,000 chance of him meeting an ideal partner. This was based on calculating the number of single women aged between 24 and 34 making Backus’ chances of meeting his dream woman in a bar were slim to say the least (0.0000034% if you want to be as precise as Backus). Backus merely replaced the original equation with his own criteria of a dream date leading him to the figures above. </p> <p>Depressing? Debatable. Surprising? Not at all. All you have to do is think about any night out on the town to gain an understanding of why searching in a bar can decrease your odds of success. </p> <p>Basically you’re searching blind. </p> <p><strong>Where Online Races Ahead of Offline</strong><br /> Online dating is still seen as something of a last resort by many especially when it comes to stumping up money. Why this is though becomes a bit of a mystery. All anyone needs to do is calculate how much money they spend on a night out bar and club hopping to see the benefits of searching for someone online, rather than offline. The average spend on a night out in Sydney for example falls between $60 to $80. </p> <p>Once again; that’s an <strong>average</strong> spend! </p> <p>Balance that with the money spent on searching for a date online – most recently calculated at $19.00 per month based on US, UK and AUS statistics – and the idea of looking for that perfect partner online suddenly becomes a lot more attractive financially.</p> <p><strong>Choice and Narrowing the odds</strong><br /> The simple fact is that online dating, free or otherwise, gives you the choice of narrowing down the traits that you are looking for in a partner, casual or serious. If you don’t believe us then try a little experiment. </p> <p>The next time you go out to a bar or club with the intention of trying to find someone new, see how many potential hits you get as opposed to running an online search based on your same criteria. </p> <p>And finally have a look at how much money you have in your wallet or purse at the end of the night. I can guarantee that you’ll suddenly see the financial benefit of experimenting with the online dating world.</p> Sun, 10 Mar 2013 21:45:00 +0000 jeni 5886 at https://www.f-buddy.com https://www.f-buddy.com/australia/blog/should-you-pay-date#comments
