I don't really see any difference in what actually happens with dating and not liking a guy; the guy has a date for the night, I'm sure they don't always go to expensive, gourmet restaurants. The "hooking" part doesn't refer to snagging a free meal, I don't think, but to prostituting one's self and that would be its own reward.

I would not want to be that kind of person and imagine, with a lot of practice, the person you would become would not be someone a guy would want to marry anyway because of the selfish shallowness of your thinking? Or, they'd think it was a creative way to survive and you'd have two, by-hook-or-by-crook people having and raising children. . .

I guess in the difficult circumstances they list, not enough income in a large city, I'd volunteer at five shelters or food kitchens at night, maybe get a meal that way?
