Here in 2008 dating and sex is expensive...I am 66 and recall how cheap it was to date in San Diego 35-40 years ago when I worked at Convair and had plenty of money for dinners, drinking and dancing (including at the beautiful Hotel Del Coronado) with cocktails for a buck in La Jolla. One could live in La Jolla in a nice clean furnished cottage for under $160 a month up the street from Windansea Beach and the Surfers Shack! Paying for sex? I moonlighted in beach liquor stores for several years and it was a single mans' Eden. Women, good God! More than I could handle, although forbidden fruit (as in separated, but not divorced women) led me into a few jams.

This should have been better. The premise is fascinating though, will try to get folks I know to keep track of their sexual expenditures.

The chick who's constantly at the gym "for him" really turns my stomache. This is one screwed up chick but she probably looks hot. Men beware! This woman is in for hell once she "hooks" a guy. You have to work on yourself for the benefit of you, because you like yourself. Not "for him".

RDH,
You would be shocked how many people really have what you would call,
unusual sexual taste. Having sex with someone for the first time, and pulling out a leather paddle has gotten me the response of 'you think that's rough?' or
'what else have you got?' more than once. Making the experience good, and interesting is definitely an expense that should be accounted, since it can help with a follow up date and such.

Actually living in NY is really really hard with those salaries. It's fucking expensive! This article was nice because it validated that I am not the only broke one here.

Who's most efficient, getting the most bang for their buck? That would be a great addition to the article!

Do these people all live in NY? Those salaries are pretty similar to what we make here in North Carolina.

It was interesting but.....I mean, I dunno...the Indie Couple has unusual sexual taste (not that that's a bad thing), so their whip and nipple clamp doesn't really speak to a vast majority of people when they calculate their own expenditures. Also why did the Mom of 2s haircut count? She didn't say "I got this to get laid" unlike who was it the Hippie who wanted to look good...presumably the Mom got it just because she had to get her hair cut. Also...what was up with the text message costs? Does this girl not have some kind of unlimited basic plan? If she has that sort of plan I really don't think it should count, but I'm gonna assume for the sake of the article that her lover had a different cell phone plan or something else. But yeah, that graph at the end was uber confusing...

Confusing, including the graph at the end that should've summed everything up. Funny idea, very bad execution.
