It's all perspective. Prostitution is the oldest profession and if you think the foundations of acquiring a wife are not linked lol then let me break it down for you.
A women was once and some places still sold as property. Property of her father or other male members of her family. She is sold for soul purpose of producing children, caring for the home and to fulfill her husbands sexual desires.
Her "services" have been sold.
Prostitution at its foundation was a step towards women being able to liberate themselves from this vicious circle of dependency, yet it's always been an openly shameful profession. However the same men shaming these women were most likely the same men acquiring their services.
There are worse things in the world ? than a woman laying on her back and getting paid for it IMO.
From an historic point of view, in the US women were only "given" the right to work in 1920. Before that, if a woman didn't have a man to support her financially then prostitution was more or less her only option.
So it's only the last 100 years that it's become so frowned upon.

btw the AirBnB business model is to blame for rising real estate prices in larger tourist cities because of its popularity.
Ie. students cant afford rents anymore because it pays more for rentiers to sell services through airbnb than to lease to students.
Other than that, it's okay, never liked hotels and their shitty rules and theres always someone to tell on you if you smoked pot in the room.

If you were wearing that to a wedding or funeral it would be one thing but this is your home! So long as your not breaking the indecent exposure laws when you are in public, then you can choose to wear whatever makes you comfortable.

If you want to have sex on the first date, do it, if you don't want to have sex until 2 months in, do it. Timing can't be defined when so much other shit come to play.click to expand
I think she's asking (in my words) Why do women think they want commitment every time they feel like boning a guy?

Me! Im newly single. But im going to visit texas for some random ??
And don't worry about being judged.
We are all judged, all the time.
It's their problem, not yours.

Hotels need to pass health and safety inspections.
Airbnb doesn't.
I'll go with the hotel.
Either way, it's about minimizing risk.click to expand
You can read detailed reviews of the place and the hosts before booking. Some of the legit hotels I've been to... let's just say vacuuming a room and a new pair if sheets don't guarantee shit. I could have complained but they'd still have fulfilled their part of the deal legally speaking.
Posted by SodapopYour ex is in the minority. Or maybe I'm just a magnet for liars ?Posted by LadyNeptuneLOL the last sentence is the only part I don't agree with. My ex used to say he's such a wuss loser and I didn't believe him, turns out he indeed was. When people tell you about who they really are, believe them!
Also women especially are led to believe that male attention = affection.
Plus in this era of online dating/social media you can have dates worth of conversation and grow emotionally attached to someone before you even meet in person, which colors your perspective. People very rarely are who they claim to be.click to expand
