In your opinion, how would the legalization of prostitution in the United States affect the dating/sexual marketplace for men and women?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this scenario, I want to say that legalized brothels similar to the Nevada system became legal and were situated all across the United States. Street prostitution is still illegal.

If brothels were legalized tomorrow all across the US, it may have some sort of effect on the dating and sex lives of some individuals. Men who have a particularly hard time finding romantic and sexual partners and as a result, are depressed from it, may benefit the most as they can get some sexual experience that way. It may not solve all of their problems, but it is for sure a start. Men like Eliot Rodgers, Alex Minasian, and other similarly intended men, might greatly reduce in numbers. Discussion boards where men with radical beliefs about their inability to get laid might also go significantly down in membership as well once many of them get a taste of consistent sex, even if it happens to be with working girls. Since they are having sex, it may be less likely to be on their mind, hence they're less likely to get involved with such discussion board sites. However, those who want relationships may continue to struggle and form online groups.

Men going to bars or using Tinder to look for sex might be reduced as well. After all, why go through the anxiety, constant rejection, and hard work with little to no results of trying to get laid at a bar or on a dating app, when you can simply go to a brothel and get laid without any bullshit? Average and especially below average looking guys would be more likely to adopt this mindset. Top tier men on the other hand in terms of physical attractiveness would still go to bars/dating sites to look for sex as getting laid was never a problem for them anyways.

Women may try harder to find and keep a man since legalized brothels don't benefit them and actually may hurt them somewhat as well. Women in relationships may put in more effort to keep their man happy since if they don't, he'll simply go and get laid at a brothel.
