POLL: Would You Date for Pay?
Monday, January 09, 2012 5:00AM
On today's show, Anderson introduced viewers to the online dating website WhatsYourPrice.com, where men pay women for the opportunity to date them.
After creating a profile on the website, an individual can either make an offer or accept an offer -- with a monetary amount agreed upon to go out on a date.
Offers on average are about $100 to date a woman, but have gone up to as much as $3,000.
What do you think? After seeing today's show, tell us your opinion. Is this a dating website masquerading as an escort service? Would you be more willing to go on a date with someone if he or she paid you? Vote below and continue the conversation with our audience after the show.

ok, a friend told me about the website after seeing the show. I didnt see show, I thought the way it was described, a way to cut out the riff raff, more like a bid on ebay and a nominal amount. I did join the website without watching the show rerun or reading every detail of the site. Number one, there are hardly any men at all in my county, orange, calif? let alone in my age group. My age group mostly has men "married but looking" yes, there are many category boxes to choose from the typical dating marriage minded to casual encounters to married, discreete affair so how is this NOT a sex site even without the added incentive to pay? And ALL the men's profiles I read sounded EXACTLY like that old guy on the show, so ? I guess the owner is going to have to Delete ALL the men on the site because all the men broke the rules by saying they are only there for sex. And yes Im older and I only got two views, by two far away middle eastern men?? um yah? will be deleting my profile.
Isn't this the same guy who runs the website for sugardaddies?
They used to call that "prostitution". I wouldn't "sell" or "buy", but I have nothing against it at all. Some of us need or want a little romance in this kind of situation. But many seem to need socializing in public, with/without romance, even more. And to many... we've all "dated" one or two (or more ;), sex is like breathing, eating or drinking. This would be a great "job" if you weren't EXPECTED to put out, though.
they said only the pretty don't have to pay so who determines that and the middle age overweight don't get on the web site?
Dating for pay? Are you serious? Oh my! Where's the decency? I wouldn't do that! No matter how poor I am. I will never never sold myself for money. why can't people work and earn it in descent way. For me dignity is more important than anything else. That's just my opinion. Whatever you believe in, believe in.
I think the site is http://www.whatsyourprice.com as stated above!
This is what the "Dating" industry needed.
i would like the name of the site, show as usual excellent.
sounds like could be ok.
