You must not walk around the Bay Area much. Literally everyone out in public is fit, especially compared to the south or the Midwest.

I lived there for six years, I definitely wouldn't agree with that claim.

I wonder if people realize that they are communicating with the new version of a phone sex line. It seems a little dishonest. Before the Internet, people could call the sex lines and talk to people, and it was your imagination. With the Internet, and only fans, all of the media, it seems disingenuous and a little bit like a scam.

Is it really all that different than the old phone sex lines? I’m not old enough to know, but I’d presume there’d be some visual accompanying said ads — perhaps a woman more attractive than the real one on the other end of the phone?

Also, it was not always women on the other side of the phone, sometimes it was men with voice changers.

When we get to that point, people will form pair bonds with holograms that text and video chat them on the go.

I guess I'm stocked up on cringe for the whole week now

> Many are based in Miami. It’s a place where young marketing types have embraced a vision of what the internet is actually for that is at odds with Silicon Valley’s: less a utopian escape from reality than an infinite expansion of its strip malls. I am glad there is a honeypot for people like this so they won't move here (SV or even SF)

The bay area’s aversion to any libido-inducing-anything was a mistake.

“Lets exclude people to make it more inclusive!” really hits a peak there and a lot of people don’t buy it

I’m glad to see this smoothing out geographically, especially since a lot of the same people move to Miami and partake in its allure and inclusion of body-focused participants in tech as well as sex workers

I never understood the phone sex pull. It’s just a voice you can’t see anything and the person on the other end could be hideous.

The people calling for phone sex probably don't get a lot of that talk otherwise in their lives.

>“San Francisco 49-ers, 4’s that think they’re 9’s”

>"LA 4's are San Francisco 9's"

being fit isn't competitive on its own, compare it to other places where people are active. there is a reason the sayings exist.

Ultimately if users are satisfied and happy, does it even matter if it is fake? The end goal is not to create a real relationship, it is to create a happy fantasy for the buyer.

It's wire fraud. Fake relationship scammers have been charged with it before. You can't lie to people to get money out of them.

Ok grandma, lets get you to bed.

Interesting that models of only moderate attractiveness are in the highest demand due to creating a perception of "attainability". The connectivity of the internet makes them, de-facto, the most desired.

What vpn works with this? Neither Mozilla nor mullvad could trick the bbc iplayer

I have been using a linux vm setup on azure as vpn for years and it works great for iplayer.
