Meshugger Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Who are we to judge the voluntary transaction between two soverigns? One pays for the goods and services provided by the other, it's perfect harmony, and since it is within a closed system of the two participants, no one else is involuntarily afflicted by it. /rationalist "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
213374U Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) There is no such thing as a "closed system", much less when we are discussing monetary transactions. I mean, if the charge $8 for 6-10 minutes of CONVERSATION with a girl you'll NEVER get to ****, can you imagine the economic repercussions elsewhere? Can you!? edit: oh, camgirl websites. But at least they show you the goods, if nothing else. Edited March 23, 2010 by 213374U - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Well, I can't argue with that. I think it's implied, however, that the "PlayDate" is very much a living person? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

aries101 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I'm not entirely sure this would be legal in Denmark; this could be seen as being discrimanatory against men. And it also relies on the pre-conception, or maybe even the the pre-judice that it is the man that must be active in order to get the girl e.g. talk to the girl. It also sort of builds on the pre-conception that women are being applauded for their hotnes, their flirtyness and perhaps their looks. And lastly, to be more blunt - basically you pay for contact with a girl that will chat with you. In some countries this is considered amoral; maybe even illegal...

Volourn Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 And, those coutnries are amoral for thinking that way so screw their stupidity. Yeah, I said it. They can take their judgments and shove them just as I judge them. P.S. That doesn't mean I have any intention of purchasing this service. I'll pass. But, if someone wants to, go ahead.

Given the guys (and bear) profiles that have been linked, I don't think the website prevents men from joining and adding themselves to the list of payable players (whether anyone pays to play with them is an entirely different matter, but I'm not sure if it can be seen as discriminatory in the customers choose not to avail themselves to the totality of the offered services/service-providers).

Walsingham Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 It took me a moment to work out why I found this idea so amusing. How about I pay other gamers so MY girlfriend can talk to them while I am gaming? Because that's usually the problem. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

I think it would fly to be honest.. Mostly because it would be so obscure and so reserved for only a few thousand nerds that nobody who would be offended would ever hear about it and therefore no-one would complain.

BicycleOfDeath Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Really the only part that doesn't sit well with me about this is the real intention behind it. That intention, I strongly believe, is profiteering. Granted, why do people start a business? Generally its a blend of doing something they love for a living and income. The issue with this, is I can't really see anyone starting this type of service because they love talking to gamers, especially male gamers. It's simply about making money by taking advantage of something that has no real benefit. Though, like it was said in a previous post; if the person paying for this service gets what he/she wants out if it, then great. I'm more on the former side of the fence than the latter. Quite simply, I will not pay for it and I hold no grudges for anyone that does use it. It's just a service I believe is highly unnecessary and it's reason for existence is one of greed. Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.
