It's because I wouldn't, mostly, that I think Allyson should.
So I can be your bizarre experiment?
Nope. Not gonna.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Work today is beyond dead, but I think it's only going to get slower as the week progresses.
So what are people doing for Thanksgiving?

I just think that I probably missed out on a few opportunities for further flirting, if nothing else, and that Allyson shouldn't have to lose out as well. But the other side if it is that it feels like a huge RISK to tell someone, hey, you're cute, I'd like to bump into you again. And what if he turns out to be an asshole? I mean, it's possible.

I have blue fingernails.
yay?
It is the time of year when I start really missing Festivus ice cream. WHY?! Ben and Jerry, why? won't you make the yummiest ice cream anymore.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
yay?
Yes, yay. Deliberately blue fingernails, as opposed to imminent death blue fingernails.

Going to my sister's in Maine where as many of my kin as are available will probably come over for dinner. Then staying at my Mom's until at least Saturday.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm not sure I get the problem here. It's not like they're [allegedly] sending a faker out with each and every member, are they?
No, but except for word-of-mouth*, they only make back one extended subscription per date. That extended subscription brings in $30/month-- let's say 30% of that is profit. So $10/month. How could you hire a beautiful woman that would possibly make it worth the company's money to save one customer at a time?
*admittedly, this is a big caveat.

Just read your post in Beep Me, shrift, and I'm wishing you health-ma and luck on the meds. I know we've had to shift pills and dosages for mine a few times, and I'm 3 right now - two for the actual high bp and one to maximize one of the bp meds.
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate being dependent on meds (more for the "have to remember to take it, and take it with x, y and z" then being on the meds themselves)? Because I do.

Now tagless for your comfort.

How many shills are they paying, though? A girl could work more than one account at a time, right? Even setting up dates with the marks wouldn't be too much of a scheduling problem. Hire a few shills in a few cities to work a large number of soon-to-expire accounts and it's worth their while to keep membership money rolling in.
