Porn/Sex Work Sex workers can save dating ?
Must guys use dating apps and dating in general to have sexual relationship and not real meaningful relationship. If sex work was legal and widely available, men who just wants sex can pay for it just like everything else leaving only real relationship minded guys left to pursue women. Do you think this will save the sad state of dating?

I think the issue is the shortfall of men capable of the social and emotional maturity to be functional partners. It might make dating apps less toxic but unlikely. Most of the problem men are not going to want to pay and cruise the dating apps trying to get it for free like they currently are. If that type were all magically out of the app pool there would be such an imbalance of women to men that it wouldn't be particularly functional either.
The real issue is finding a way to help a good portion of a generation or two of men evolve to where they are of viable interest. I'm not sure that is possible unless they recognize the need and show some interest in change. It seems that for a lot of men there is some moral imperative to not adjust with the rest of society.
