New website lets users bid dollars for dates

A man tired of not hearing back from good-looking girls on dating sites decided it was time for a service where you could use money to grease the wheels a bit.

"We did market research by getting a group of girls in a room. We showed them a picture of guy and said, 'Would you spend an hour going to Starbucks with this guy to get to know him?' Everyone said, 'No.' So then we said, 'What about for $10?' One girl suddenly said, 'Yes.' Eventually at some price every one of those girls said, 'Yeah I will invest one hour to get to know him.' So everyone has a price," says Whatsyourprice.com creator Brandon Wade.

Wade says his site operates similar to an auction.

"It's not too different than going to a charity event and bidding on that first date - You have the fireman up there, or the prom queen up there, and you're bidding to go out on a first date with him or her. We basically took that concept and turned that into mainstream dating."

Now, who's gonna despute my gold-digger theories I posted a while ago?

It always boils down to the basic necessities and it's really only 3 things:

sex
food
drink

Even the most complicated men on the world are really that's all they want, they just do it in a complicated manner to stick out from the crowd.
If I think of geniuses and big thinkers, they usually became what they are, due to deprivation of one of those necessities. I also believe, the feminist movement started by women, who were deprived and weren't getting enough sex, due to either not being able to maintain themselves to be the focus of the attention for not being pretty enough or suffered some way while growing up and made them to be hostile towards men. In reality they wouldn't even have written books or make those feminist ideologies if they would have been getting laid on a daily basis, and soon the support financially and morally have corrupted them to yearn for more power.
For guys, people like Einstein or Richard Hawkins, there is something either psychological or physical disability, or even trauma that caused them focus on other things than getting laid, have food and drink.
I also believe, that most inventions were done by people who had too much free time because of not getting laid and they went beyond everyone else to impress a girl or just working on their job overtime, because their bitchy wife was no better company.

Don't forget, you can also draw conclusions about how much one spends on the net. Compare it to what he writes and the frequency of how many times you find the person on the net and where. Most people are attention wh_r_es especially single people and that's natural, but some people only write for the sake of attention, while others draw attention automatically from his (or her) writing, even if it's a few posts. Quality over quantity.

There is one thing exciting about them though...back in the day when I was like 18, I saw a porn movie, with 2 women, and toes were involved beside other things...

Thanks!

But I would still refuse to make a picture of my feet, there is nothing exciting about them.

The problem is, many people still think in dollars. The real reason for inflation and poor economy has to do with the devaluation of the dollar.
Most of those "rich people" you mention aren't rich because they got plenty of dollars, but plenty of investments in various other currencies, precious metals and property.
Let me give you a future prognosis:
The dollar will loose its reserve currency status very soon. China is dumping as much US dollar debt as possible, while making agreement with other nations, such as Russia and Japan to trade in their own currencies instead.
Iran has dumped it 2 years ago, Venezuela paid its debts and shut the World Bank out of its monetary dealings completely. That's why many of these nations are on the sh_t list of USA, nothing to do with war or nukes or craziness.
Another example:
10 years ago, you could go to Europe and pay with dollars most places. They took it if you had nothing else. Nowadays, they won't. They want Euros or British pounds. It's a fact. At the Taj Mahal in India, they dont' accept US dollars anymore, and some countries you gonna have a hard time exchanging it and you gonna get a very bad exchange rate.

In Mexico (!) , the HBSC bank stopped taking dollars, because they don't want to have it piled there, because they are afraid if it gets seriously devalued, they gonna be left off with a bunch of useless piece of papers.

The only reason US is able to hang on for now, because the FED can print as much money as they want, and that's exactly what they are doing. But it's a short term solution and it's a double edged sword, because the more they print, the more they inflate the dollar, to a point where it's going to loose so much value, that it will be pointless to be used.

So, just to let you know, it's not the gas prices or food prices went up, but the dollar lost more value very fast.

If you want my personal opinion, I think there is another crash coming, and it's gonna make the 2008 real-estate crisis look like a minor glitch.

I can guarantee, that my face remains pretty much the same, beside of course aging and the everyday headaches and stress making my hair turn grey at a much faster rate.

My ever changing pictures on the other hand has to do with my own taste of how I want to be seen, which is dependent on my particular mood on a given day or hour. My webcam can make a shot within seconds at any time so there is never a shortage, but on the other hand I would rather take pictures of my girlfriend -if there would be a possibility- instead of myself, although I doubt I would ever put them up as my profile picture.

Most of you still think it's all left vs. right when it comes to millionaires avoiding taxes. They are all laughing at you for all you are so easy to be divided and conquered.

I feel sorry for most members here who still think one political party is better than the other or somehow it has to do whether it's Obama or Bush.

What a pity, many of you scraping for breadcrumbs and you still choose alliances, when they all spit right between your eyes.

She just needs confirmation, that she isn't doing anything weird and the best ones to ask are complete strangers, since friends can only give biased opinions.

No, it's more to do with inferiority complex, takes away from their "manhood", which they didn't really have in the first place anyway. It's the same kind of a guys, you'd find having youtube acounts and commenting like a 10 year old, full of obscenity and spelling problems. They deserve what is coming to them, Darwinian justice.

That's one of the main reasons and it goes for both genders.

The other is, most of the people trying to get a date from online are nowhere near close to what they make themselves to be known online.
The number of cowards outnumber the honest ones.

So, do you put up a profile picture based on what others like, or the one that you like the best?

Let's say you do a research and you get a good idea about which picture would be the best, even others encourage you to use that particular one.

Or instead, you choose something else, because you identify yourself with it, and "to hell with what others like" , you like this one better, because when you browse the forum you don't mind seeing your profile with that picture"?

Somehow the title is misleading. I was expecting a different set of questions an discussions.

The ones you have to really be concerned are those, who will actually reply, but instead of answering your questions, they go talk about something else. Actually, those people know exactly what you were asking and probably could answer it, but they turn the table around with a hidden motive, that has yet to be revealed.

Many humans are (or feeling) alone on this planet (even with 6 billion inhabitants) , let alone to deal with the solar system or the galaxy or the entire universe to look for friends.. Let's deal with the former problem first.

Maybe it sounds funny, but women from the 20s, were never were attracted to me. I was and I am of course, but nearly almost all respond negatively to me. The weird part is, I get more responses from the 18-19 years old (of which I think are too young) and they reach the age of 20 and magically, suddenly they don't want anything with me anymore. I don't understand, maybe they get vaccinated against my sort of guy and the vaccine lasts 10 years?
The youngest was 29 from the 20's crowd, who was "thinking about" hanging out with me. On the other side of the spectrum, (35+) it's been...all the way to ..I don't even know what age, and that has been this way since my early 20s.
Don't ask me, I don't really know what or how

35 here, going 63. Looking forward to get my social security and good ol' Florida with crocodiles and golf fields!

You don't get it back in your life, it takes your life back to love.

You can't force it, you can't buy it, you can't demand it, you can't request it, you can't create it. You can only create the right environment and the the right timing to lure it to you.

My closest idea of comparing is fishing. Regardless if you are actively looking for someone or not and regardless of your current situation..the only right ingredients are time and place and you.
Every day you wake up and do your daily stuff, is pretty much going to the shore and throwing in your sinker into this big river and it's sitting in the bottom.
From the shore, you don't see anything beside your fishing rod and line and you don't know if there is actually anything in the river that likes your bait or even if any fish is hungry.
There are of course hungry fish in there, but you maybe using the wrong bait, or the wrong spot, perhaps the wrong time of the day.

Or

There is really nothing at that spot, regardless how clean it is, how soft the grass is, how nice the view and the scenery and how calm and mysterious the river is. Basically you are wasting your time. Happened to me thousands of times during fishing.

It's your experience to learn, how to figure out what is really wrong, whether it's the bait, the fish or the spot or the time of the day.

Getting to attract love, is similar. You gotta have the right bait, the right spot, the right time of the day and the right river as well! You have to be expandable and you have to try different variations until you get the right combo. And just like fishing, in love, luck still plays a big role.

LOL! I wonder if he has unlimited sms for his phone...

I've considered this option, going back to the jungle in Brazil..find some hidden tribe and live off my life there.
I could easily spread my "influence", and 100 years later the scientists would be like "how come this tribe knows about ip configurations and why that kid overthere has green eyes??"
