I understand a fantasy and a one time thing like tipping on a guys night out at a strip club, but some of these guys think they are in a relationship with someone they will never meet and don’t even know their real name or life details.

    It’s capitalism, baby. It teaches young men that human relationships are a financial transaction and nothing more.

    I really notice that idea in movies from the 80s and 90s. The love interest leaps into the dude’s arms at the end. They didn’t know each other an hour ago, but she’s the reward for the hero’s success.

      That’s where I learned from, and I learned the hard way that the crazy antics in those movies just get you a restraining order!
