It’s come to this
So far in the period leading up to Valentine’s Day, 2,696 Washington men have bid on first dates with D.C. women via the website that auctions off dates to the highest bidder. What’s more, they are paying over $100 for the chance–not including dinner, roses and a box of chocolates. The site said the average winning bid is $131.70.

How much and what’s included?

Aren’t hookers usually cheaper than this?

$130? There’s some hope for the betas for Valentines Day…usually the biggest thrill for the alpha-deficient is the 15th when all those heart-shaped boxes of candy are 75% off.

Of course you would be the one to know about the 15th. Let us know when the special sale day is for feather boas, m’kay?

figures D.C screws everything up. What man in their right mind would bid for the chance to waste their money.
