If the guy is looking for an arm charm for events then I guess this might work but if you are trying to find love then this would not work. It kind of sounds like prostitution in a way but that would depend on the peoples intentions and intent can be hard to prove.

The list of relationships you can find on there includes “sugar daddy arrangements, married dating, extra marital affairs, adult dating, or casual encounters”. Which sounds like the kind of target market for this kind of site… not exactly people looking for a serious relationship.

And, yes, I do have a sense of humor)

Perhaps Eharmony should put together some live events- why not start in NJ since that’s where I’m living (at least for right now)….

There could be men up for bid, but my limited research hasn’t shown any.

Are there any men up for bid? I think this concept is completely silly and I highly doubt it will spawn any long term meaningful relationships but hey, if you have money to burn and don’t mind hooking up with a gold digger, it’s your money to spend how you like.

I’m sorry, everyone is entitled to their opinions, mine is this is stupid. I already pay for the entire date when I take a Lady out, which I think is how it should be. But to bid and then pay a premium just to have the pleasure of her company and then on top of that pay for the date itself and no guarantee there’ll be a 2nd date.

Thanks I pass on this idea of a site..

For younger people that means paying your own way. I’m perfectly happy to.
