    In our societies, we need money to acquire shelter, food, transportation, spouses (if you’re male)

    Hold up… Did you buy your wife?

      Are you very sheltered? NEETs are sure a hot commodity on the meat market.

      Is not their primary mating criteria “provide for me”? Is not the expectation that the man pay for all the dates, and in particularly toxic cases, pay her rent, her nails, hair, etc.?

      Money is a requirement to be seen, therefore we need money to acquire a mate. There is a philosophical debate over whether that equates to prostitution. I’m not getting into that here.

      If you have no money to go on a date and at least pay for your part on trips…you ain’t getting a wife…nobody wants to be carrying that kind of dead weight :/
