And ha!</p> <p>Those results are the ideal characteristics of the kind of jerks who think it's possible to buy a good first date in the first place. The decent guys out there raised an eyebrow at the survey, marked of "$0.00" on every single question, and wrote in a quip about how he's not interested in an escort service. </p> <p>FWIW, I met my husband online with a profile image that read, "picture pending your brilliance." Also made really good friends that I would have happily dated if there had been chemistry... none of them messaged me because of what I looked like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dating-update#post-775556 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:07:00 +0000 bj1111 775556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, anna, in some markets, a higher degree or multiple degrees is actually going to be a negative value!</p> <p>this concept of women as having "economic value" is not new. as an immigrant, my mother aghast at my attitudes toward premarital sex, spat out that being a nonvirgin would "decrease my market value."</p> <p>needless to say, we don't have those deep philosophical discussions any more. this was also the woman who, on my announcing my engagement, chimed in with much relief, "oh thank god, i don't have to worry about you any more." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dating-update#post-775405 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 19:09:48 +0000 Laurinda 775405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If Mr. Laurinda had spent $247.57 on our first date there would never have been a second date :-P. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dating-update#post-775107 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:47:20 +0000 lyn* 775107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drat; I got the wrong kind of MD. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dating-update#post-775091 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 07:45:05 +0000 rachylou 775091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol.
