A Pragmatic Approach to Romance

Tell you what: you doll yourself up once a month and pretend to like me. In return, I'll add you to my Benefits recipient list and name you as my beneficiary.
Counter-proposals will be considered.

It would be easier to just have a sort of "Uber Relationship;" a paid prescription to have someone come over a few times a day to fix a shelf, watch a movie with you, take you dancing, give you a back rub, be kind to you, and/or listen to your problems, while assuring you that "you can do it."

For extra, you can get specified physical perks..most men just want BJs anyway, while most women prefer being cuddled and massaged.

You can also specify that flowers and chocolates are presented to you on your birthday, and you'll have an escort for attending family weddings and functions, etc.

That's sorta the point. An offer is on the table and a counter is proposed until a consensus is reached. There's no ownership. Each engages on the level agreed upon. And you can put it in writing .

@Hicks66 I think all this will be obsolete once sex/companion robots become commonly used. They are already in use in some places.

Why bother taking a woman out or spending money on her if you can have the perfect BJ whenever you wish?

Some sex robots are already being programmed to refuse sex and balk if they are being mistreated.

@birdingnut Okay. First, find any mention of sex in my posts.What I'm seeing here is the broad brush that paints every escort as a whore. Is that what "pretend to like" means to you? I envision a handful of intermediate steps before the ever coveted blow job takes place.
As for robots, I am and always have been pro-labour. Any form of automation is an anathema to me.

@Hicks66 ?? I wasn't talking about you. I'm talking about the sex robot trend that has already started. Some say it's the end of the human race.

I don't care about sex myself, being demisexual. I would prefer to have a "friendmate" who lives near me and we can do fun things together-hiking, dancing, etc, then I can go home and have peace by myself. But it seems to be the primary motivation for relationships for most cis hetero men.

Not a large sample size to be sure but I'm leaning to the opinion that pragmatism and romance are dichotomies.

That's not romance , that's a , "promised," financial transaction . Chances are great , that when he dies , you'll find he's left you absolutely nothing .

That's getting off on the right foot meeting people, there.

Reminds me of the old joke that rather than getting married, just find a woman you don't like and buy her a house.

I mean if you are that cynical, I understand, but really ...
