#2Interesting article. I think prostitution should be legalized. But this website seems like it could fall afoul of the law since it is essentially taking a commission on illegal sexual transactions - not so different from what an escort service does. Obviously police frequently look the other way when escort services with white-collar clients are involved and that's probably what will happen here too. But an overly zealous public official could cause a lot of trouble for a site like this, I would think. Especially after it receives high profile coverage in The NYT. Of course I'm not a lawyer so take that with a grain of salt.

#3"He has an almost mathematical approach to assessing relationships, and once even computed the costs for a girlfriend, mistress, prostitute and wife — mistresses turn out to be most expensive by the hour; wives, by the year; girlfriends are cheapest all around. But he’s not as calculating as he seems. In fact, he concluded there’s little correlation between cost and quality. Still, he is relentlessly searching for an algorithm that will predict relationships’ success."
LOL. This guy's a hacker!

#4The article is quite interesting - but what if someone had told you 10 years ago that the New York Times would publish an article using the term "sugar relationships"?

you bring up an interesting point.
also, what happens when one of these girls ends up seriously hurt or even dead? who now owns the responsibility. i just can't imagine this lasting very long, especially as it becomes more and more popular.

Too bad they're only keeping up with the times when it comes to their lingo, and not with their business model

What do you mean who owns the responsibility? The person who hurt or killed her, of course. I don't see the gray area. How is, what is in essence, a niche dating site responsible for what its members do any more so than the mainstream ones?

Times is trying to reinvent itself a lot more aggressively than other newspapers
They even launched two APIs recently. If there's a newspaper out there trying to reinvent itself, that newspaper is the NYTimes.
