Don't you think with economic equality, 80% of females will go to top 10% of males (for free) ? While now at least they pay.
Are you saying 80% or more of women don't want monogamous relationships?

That's not what we see in the Nordic countries .
If I remember correctly 23% of norwegian males under 40 are childless while only 13% of females are childless. And that is for having children; I'm sure in the "casual dating"/monopolising the most fertile/attractive years of women the top males have it much better.
Global replace "Kenya" with "USA", the tale still rings true.
Or more like, the world has always been like that in some form or another. Sugar Daddy is nothing new, we just happen to have Internet to spread this information far wider.
Isn’t poverty what drives most of us to get any job? I work because otherwise i’d be in poverty.
Are they implying that sex work is the only work available to them? Unlikely. But I imagine sex work is far more profitable and easier of a job than the alternatives - so maybe that actually makes it a good thing?
The oldest profession is prostitution. You can find references to it in ancient greek writings, for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hetaira
I'd like to hear of any HNers who are involved in this lifestyle. Given SV pay, it must be not unheard of.
Go ahead and ask something about it, the throwaway account is ready. Not in SV however. It's been interesting - e.g. I met the smartest (but lazy) person I know and I know for sure that one tech billionaire that you've likely heard of was also doing it.
Do the girls ever fall in love with you? Or you with them?
How many girls do you see at a time? How long does the arrangement usually last?
How much of the remuneration is in cash vs luxury items like jewellery, handbags, phones etc?

What you said is close to a tautology, and like most tautologies, they are merely a play on words and don't leave any substantial insight.
Not true. There are relationships (for example between mother and child) that are not based on reciprocation. Nothing in the definition of the word "relationship" implies expectations or getting something in return. It's a synthetic proposition, not an analytic (tautological) one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic–synthetic_distinction
BTW, not trying to debate necessarily as I don't have a strong feeling on either side. I just found this article and your comment to be interesting.

Is the mother child relationship really not based on reciprocation? The child doesn't enter the relationship willingly which makes it more interesting, but most people that I talk to who want kids do have an expectation of why they want kids. I specifically don't want kids, so this is always of interest to me. BTW, not trying to debate necessarily as I don't have a strong feeling on either side. I just found this art…
Cost, time, stress, etc. At the benefit of seeing a part of you live on and be happy.

I think he's saying 80% of women want monogamous relationships with the top 10% of men :)
