The fuclk is this shit?

Launched in August 2015, Ohlala is a web-based app that facilitates what it calls "instant paid dating." Male users post offers for dates, consisting of a time, a duration, and how much money they’re willing to pay — a typical offer is from 1–4 hours at an average price of $300. While the request is up, women can decide whether or not they’d like that person to be able to contact them. Crucially, women are not visible to men before they initiate conversation — it’s the inverse of the backpage listings to which it’s often compared. Here, the buyers must come forward first. From there, the couple can chat and discuss the whens and wheres of their impending dates, as well as a payment method and their boundaries, if they so please. (In-app payment is currently in the works, the team tells me.) When the terms are agreed upon, the chat is logged, and presumably both parties are incentivized to show up. Though its on-demand model has earned Ohlala the label "Uber for escorts," the company insists it isn’t an escort agency, or even operating in the adult entertainment space.

I guess millenials are just living in caves, unable to go and meet people.


I'd date someone for money. Wouldn't be caught dead posting my stuff and doing the paying though.

Who am I kidding. I wouldn't have the heart to charge anyone. I'd probably say "don't worry about it" the last minute.

I wouldn't say living in caves unable to. There's completely UNABLE to and then there's DONT WANT TO. I know someone who makes a decent living, he's older, id say around 50 ish and he's dating a 25 year old. When I asked him about it he tells me that he's not oblivious to the fact that she's using him for cash. And that she would be dumb to assume he isn't using her for her body and youth. It makes him feel young I suppose.

This can work out if it was a mutual thing.

Pay to win, it's the future.

[nonameelf]

Um, prostitution isn't a new thing.

[Canpinter]

the "girlfriend experience" is actually something rather common in escorts s its not surprising to find someone selling jsut that part given that its legal.

[THE Bigzoman]

Um, prostitution isn't a new thing.

There's paying for sex and paying someone to spend time with you.

These girls aren't contractually bound to put out at the end of the date. The dudes are probably paying for the dinner or w/e as well. They're being charged twice.

[Canpinter]

when are they just gonna go ahead and legalize prostitution? it seems unfair that its still illegal.

someday soon i imagine, but some guys are not really even that interested in sex, they want someone to talk to some one to vent about their shitty day at work or to talk about their hobbies to. actual girlfriends/relationships carry alot more work and risk of rejection so its understandable why some would turn to simply pay for it.

That's not a new thing either.

I mean... you have seen what pokemon go has done to the world? People that haven't been seen in years are suddenly wandering around outside.

Probably taking advantage of a loophole in the prostitution laws.

What's a girlfriend experience?

they are not having sex so how is it even related to prostitution, its like saying a car salesman is taking advantage of loophole in prostitution laws.

[Tradewind]

This is why I need maninism.

What's a girlfriend experience?

having a" girlfriend". someone to do things with, who will listen to your problems, talk to you about stuff, just be a companion.

So a social worker?

Do they put out? Because that icing on the cake would be the only thing I could see that would make it valuable enough to pay for.

What's a girlfriend experience?

Girlfriend Experience
When an escort offers a service more akin to a 'real' relationship rather than just sex. The escort may go with the payer to dinner / the movies etc and engage in conversation, kissing and so forth, before retiring for sex (as what might occur when dating). Men who indulge in such Girlfriend Experiences with escorts are said to be enjoying The Hobby.

(got to love Urban Dictionary)

[Canpinter]

Girls flock to guys that can provide them with things?

Did we rewind the newsreel back a few hundred thousand years, you guys are acting like this is a recent discovery.

just striping away some of the social decorations that hide the fact that exchange has been the base for a majority of relationships thru history.

more like a personal therapist and friend and most importantly someone who will make them feel wanted in a romantic way. that last bit is a big boost for self confidence.

[kail]

Just legalize prostitution already.

If you're not paying to fuck then it's not worth it.
