legalize prostition then. this is the loneliest time to be a human being. And despite what you just said, no one actually cares. So at least give us the option to pay someone to care.

A Wendy’s double now equals a euphemism.

Customers come to fill their stomachs, then fill other things.

Having brainless sex with some woman wont fix you, I think you meant to say " find a way to make therapy less expensive "

Weird, I remember having a lot of fun and enjoying myself. Lots of laughter, smiling and high fiving. Good thing there are people like you around to tell me what I do and dont enjoy.

I don’t agree with that characterization.
Yes, therapy is also good.
But human physical contact is its own thing.
I think it’s not unfair to characterize it as a soft need. — You won’t die from its lack — but you may suffer in a deep way.

Yes, many of us get that physical contact from friends and “fuck buddies”. But there are people who don’t and - for myriad reasons - won’t for long stretches of time.

I actually do think having ways for people to get physical social contact (and yes, particularly sexual) is valuable and meaningful to society.

[And no; I’m not lonely or physically alienated — but I’m very fortunate in my situation. It’s not fair to force people who can’t navigate sexual relationships to be denied human touch.]

I agree with legalizing prostitution, probably for different reasons though. But is paying someone to care briefly any better than some anonymous person online saying they care? At least the anonymous person doesn't have a motive behind it. You don't have to be as lonely as you are if you reach out to people, even to us internet strangers. Some people do care without a motive behind it. I hope you're doing alright and I mean that sincerely.

A few weeks ago I learned on reddit that people pay other people to cuddle them. And body contact is important for people, even if this doesn't solve the problems.

So yes, prostitudes can give more than just sex. And especially in todays world, actions are more important than words. Showing somebody you care is more than saying it, even if it isn't true.

It is 100 times better. Your text means absolutely nothing compared to an hour with a prostitute. Its nothing less than "best wishes". The prostitute provides a service you never will and never can and nothing you can provide over text will ever substitute a human need for touch. I am being 100% sincere that your sincere wishes has no value. It actually has the opposite effect.

Ok, have a good day!

Decrim, but not for incels.

So, yes legalize prostitution. But you don't pay a prostitute to care about you, you pay them to perform a sex act with you for an agreed upon amount of time. And despite what you just said, many people care about many things.

Also fuck the idea of suicidal people patronizing those people, explaining the situation, and then traumatizing that person.

Trust me, after a while you go back to feeling hollow and lonely. Shortcuts to happiness never work. Ask yourself this, why do ppl who have insane # of bodycounts are still on dating apps and looking for partners? Because those hookup never filled the void... So always look for genuine fulfilments in life

u/AlphariusBeta Aug 13 '21

I am, its dicks like you getting in the way of it.

u/pre-DrChad Aug 13 '21

People with high bodycounts are probably still on dating apps to keep racking up a higher number

It’s just selection bias. Those who want relationships will get off dating apps once they get the relationship. Those who want hookups remain on dating apps so they’re the ones you see
