Using tissues is wasteful and messy, what a dick he is. Take old t-shirts that you don't wear and use those, wash once a week!

The very notion of human value has a long and dignified history, until the first time someone swapped money for another human being over whose body they could exert complete control.
Dawson Stone – a brilliant economist and sociologist and definitely not a sad, terrified little man peddling pick-up culture nonsense on the internet – has come up with a helpful metric by which men can work out whether you’re worth ejaculating inside of.

(The site is here, and you can click on it if you must, but remember: your clicks are only worth 0.7 of a man’s click, and why must you women go disturbing men with your intrusive page views?)

Facepalm

I couldn't make it past that. That's like saying miles driven by women only count .7 on the odometer. But I guess it's true what they say, "you'll never go broke pandering to the lowest common denominator.

Well, every dick a woman takes is only worth .7 on her official notch count, so I guess there's that.

Dear Hipster,

You're right; her opinion is only worth 0.7 of mine; you want to know why?

It's because if something breaks down, I'm the one who fixes it. If something needs to be invented, I'm the one who invents it. And if Al-Bobo the terrorist tries to pull anything when I'm around, I'm the one who takes him out, or dies trying.

I'm a man, and I had to earn my place in this world; that's why my opinion is worth more. Yours, on the other hand, is worth even less than hers; in fact, it's worth zero. You want to know why?

It's because if I fuck you, you don't even get pregnant. You literally have zero utility in the world.

All he does is attempt to make witty remarks and doesn't even come close to refuting anything the original article said.

I wonder if he got sent the article and planned to disguise his source (RoK) before he changed tactics and put the link in his writing.

He was so "horrified" by what he read that he just needed to get his anger out...then realized he might make more money off his article if he included the link.

That is some astonishingly unfunny writing. There's too many parenthetical asides, and he's laying on the sarcasm far too thick. The whole essay is in desperate need of a red pen.

Don't you guys have editors down in Australia, or did the drop bears get them all?

There's been a noticeable shift over the last 18 months in Australia as traditional media is dying off, The shift is into female-focused Online Clickbait, following the Daily Mail model.

This makes sense from a revenue point of view, as the majority of what women call 'work' involves sitting on their fat arses hunting and pecking in front of a computer. Most men don't have time to drift through the afternoon pretending to look busy whilst reading about celebrities and the latest buzzfeed drivel because their work involves the business of actually keeping society functioning. It's just easier for women to not give a shit, discreetly snack on something, and flick through the latest clickbait portals when they think no-one is looking.

As such, this article is simply a man trying to gain clicks for his employer by encouraging women to read and share his article, through the hook of showing them something that will make them them emotionally upset.

It's cynical and exploitative as fuck, showing zero concern for the emotional well-being of his readers. Sure, he tries to soften the financially-exploitative intent of the article through his use of Gawker Voice: the female-orientated concept of 'humour', which is simply snarky, superior, hyper-judgemental jealous bitching from people who are, bluntly, the unfuckable, neurotic, bitter dregs of the sexual market place.

Hey, at least we're honest about giving no fuck as to who gets upset, but deliberately upsetting their readers for financial gain whilst claiming to be a good person takes the special kind of cognitive dissonance progressives possess, which is why I consider them toxic individuals.

RE: Return of Kings Article: "Cost Per Orgasm" in the news in Australia
Felicity Morse decides to weigh in:

Quote:There’s an animalistic new approach to sex to make it as degrading as possible (and not in a a fun way). It’s called "Cost Per Orgasm".

Dating coach Dawson Stone dreamed up this repellent equation to help men work out “what sex is costing you.” The economics is as simple as its author: you work out how much you have spent on the woman during the course of dating her and divide that amount by the number of times you have sex.

It’s intended to point out the folly of "traditional" dating and help men avoid being manipulated by women for money. "By way of example," he writes, "if you are a traditional beta male, you buy a woman three expensive dinners at around $200 each, and try to close her on the third date. If you were successful and had sex twice, your CPO would be $300 ($200 * 3 / 2)."

This magnificent monetary policy is published on Return of Kings, which describes itself as “a blog for heterosexual, masculine men.” The site’s raison d’etre appears to be as offensive as possible in order to bask in the inevitable clicks. The Daily Life, a news, opinion and lifestyle site for women owned by Fairfax Media, has already torn the blog apart.

It’s easy enough to do that. Stone’s post drips with sexist analogies that frame women as valuable in terms of how thin and young they are. Marriage is described as men “buying the cow for an obscene sum of money when they could easily have the milk inexpensively or even free.”

Yet what is remarkable about Stone’s post is that once you strip out some of the language, his concept is remarkably mainstream, especially considering Return of Kings is a niche and nauseating blog.

Both men and women can be ruthlessly materialistic when it comes to dating. I wish it was as simple as cost-per-orgasm. Actually it's much more of a jungle out there. If you’re single you need to be prepared for these brutal hinterlands. Competition is stiff and the stakes are high, both emotionally and physically. It's unremitting and unpredictable. Someone could know your most intimate details one week and then be gone the next. Is it any wonder that people like Stone try and minimize risk?

Misdirected thrusting (or missing the target)Calling out the wrong nameFalling off the bedSaying the wrong thing Getting caught in the actSustaining injuries Breaking the bedFalling asleep during Getting stuck in restraints or outfits Losing things in inappropriate places
In order to recover from rejection, whether it’s a broken heart or injured pride, people try and look for the benefits. Yes, you may have tried to build a relationship with a person who wasn’t right for you, but it can't have been a complete waste of time.

The most obvious of these benefits are going to be material. When some women's partners turn nasty, they console themselves with knowing they had at least had a few nice dinners. Some men might assuage themselves with memories of licentious nights. So might some women. It’s a kind of “well at least the sex was good” subterfuge: something that helps you justify wasting the last six months of your life with someone who didn’t love you.

When my friend broke up with her boyfriend at university, he was so hurt he decided to invoice her for the cost of their relationship. A confetti of bundled receipts for dinners and nights out appeared up in her pigeon hole a week after they had exchanged their last tearful goodbyes.

She was outraged, and in her wild irritation decided to invoice him for all the times they had sex at the rates a "high class" escort charged. Her point was that this wasn’t how relationships worked. This turned out to be a bad idea, as he ended up showing it to all his friends as "proof" she was a prostitute.

Dawson Stone’s cost per orgasm equation is symptomatic of a desire to try and protect yourself from the reality of love. It’s a stupid idea that comes from a place of hurt most of us will know too well. Relationships are chaotic, wonderful and sometimes disastrous emotional journeys that are a vital part of life. You can’t shield yourself by making sure you had sex at a "value" rate.

Similarly, a nice necklace means nothing if you’ve had your heart ripped out. As humans we desire order. We try and reduce contentment to a “formula for happiness”, a beautiful landscape to mathematical proportions. You just can’t do it for love. As Tom Stoppard writes in his play Arcadia, the disruptive influence sex plays on our lives “is the attraction Newton left out”.

Of course, if you’ve read the the cost-per-orgasm blog and you're still seething, there’s a simple way to kill Stone’s equation at the first hurdle: split the bill. Stone seems to forget that women are actually able to pay for their own drinks these days. And their own vibrators.

Yet another woman who thinks its cool and proper to not so casually remind men that women do not need us

Able to.

But still don't.
