Why Casual Dating is Good for Your Wallet
The US is currently facing one of the worst economic crises in decades, and people are being forced to take a hard look at their spending and decide what their priorities are. Entertainment, such as movies, theme parks, and concerts, have taken especially hard hits, as people have realized they aren’t really necessities. Even many online dating sites have lost membership, as some charge obscene monthly rates based on their claims of “scientific matching.”
For example, ScientificMatch.com charges almost $2,000 for a lifetime membership (which includes a DNA testing kit, and background and bankruptcy reports, because that’s not creepy at all) all based on their claim that attraction is embedded in peoples’ genetics. Similar sites, like eHarmony and Chemistry.com, charge premium prices that can cost upwards of 50 bucks a month, solely based on fairly arguable scientific studies and questionnaires that are so long it feels like your eyes are bleeding.
Now take the costs of these sites, multiply them by how many expensive, traditional dates you’ll go on, add an engagement ring, the cost of children, and a potential divorce? But never fear, since OBC’s rates are as low as 16 cents a day, you don’t have to sacrifice booty, even if you’re on a tight budget.
