Dating Site Blurs The Line Between Capitalism And Prostitution

Somewhere near the intersection of online dating and unabashed prostitution is where you can find WhatsYourPrice.com -- a new dating site where cash trumps compatibility.

Site founder Brandon Wade compares WhatsYourPrice.com to eBay. \"When you see a hot single you want to date, just make an offer and buy the first date,\" Wade explains, in a press release. But that's where the similarities end.

WhatsYourPrice members are divided into two groups: \"the generous\" (i.e., men) and \"the attractive\" (women). Attractive users are invited to create profiles on the site, featuring all the basic information you'd find on most dating networks, as well as the amount of money they'd accept for someone to go on a date with them. The generous, meanwhile, can browse through these profiles, and make offers to any attractive users that catch their eye. Once an offer is made, the attractive member can choose to accept it, reject it, or come up with a different price.
