I've actually seen the above example being commented here fyi which is what motivated this post.

Think about your struggles in dating / sex. What are some "deals" in the form of sacrifice you're willing to make that would better said dating/sex life? This is purely theoretical of course so it's not like the two would actually be connected somehow.

Just like the example of the guy who isn't getting the hookups he wants, so he says "yeah, with some consideration, if I could exchange a few years/decades of my lifespan to get more hookups, I'd totally do it".

Some other examples:

  • "As a meat lover who eats pretty much any animal on Earth, I'm willing to turn vegan if I could acquire a relationship that lasts and makes me happy"
  • "I'm willing to give up my high income job living in a comfortable neighborhood in exchange for being a starbucks worker in the inner city and living in a crummy apartment if I could get laid every day"
  • "I'm willing to move to a small foreign country and having to learn the language and customs, in exchange for having a successful dating life there"

What are some deals that apply to you?

And here's the most interesting part of your comment you should include: what's the limit? If you say you're willing to give up X quantity of your Y asset in exchange for A quantity of your B dating/sex life, what's the maximum number of X you're willing to give up? (in math, you could think of optimization)
