"I don't have time to do x" is almost always code for "I have other things that I want to do more than x" So it sounds like these people would make time to go

"I don't have time to do x" is almost always code for "I have other things that I want to do more than x"
So it sounds like these people would make time to go on dates, or have a romantic partner, but they find online dating tedious so they pay to have someone do it for them.
- wpietri 8y agoI definitely agree the surface excuse is a lie. But in this case, I think it's insane. It reduces to, "I don't want to spend getting to know a person I might spend the rest of my life with, so I'm going to jump right to paying somebody to lie to them." It's contradictory, at least for a real relationship. I think what it really means is, "I want a woman in the same way I want a new car: as enjoyable, status-enhancing property. But they insist on talking. So fuck that."
- JoshCole 8y agoIt's not a lie. You're just distorting the idiom.
