I'm not against those who work for sex, but the idea to earn for a living doesn't seem nice. IMO, sex should be for 2 people (or more for others who prefer polyamory) who wants to be intimate/romantic with each other. My point is money should not be the purpose.

I don't think this is how dating works. What you describe is just looking for a quick sexual partner, for which prostitution can be more suitable. Dating is about relationships not just about sex, right? You won't get that by taking a number from a random girl in a bar. The easiest way for dating is to make friends first, a nice friend group or two with both men and women, based on shared interests, compatible personalities... Friend groups allow for meeting more people of your kind (friends of friends) and create a prefiltered pool of people where it's much easier to find a partner for a serious relationship. Quite different from prostitution.

lmao, you are so close to understanding what is being said to you, yet clearly so far away...

Ok, so if I'm close, why don't you explain instead of lyao.
