    I don’t think it can be overstated how much more life changing $500k is compared to 1 date with her.

    Not a committed relationship mind you, 1 date.

      500k is enough to retire on if you’re frugal enough. Enough to retire in 10 years if you want to live lavishly. 500k would be the definition of a life changing amount of money

    Sydney Sweeney is a gorgeous girl whose roles and carefully-managed public image hides how directly smart she is. Go see her on talk shows, and understand she will let it show quite often. She’d I’m sure be a fun date.

    Having said that, a contrived date would be terrible for all concerned. We’re essentially calling her a whore, which we haven’t ratified as a valid business in many societies and is also used as a slur. She’d likely be a fun hang, beautiful to look at and likely fun to talk to, but not in some paid-date kind of deal.

    I’ll take the money, every time. Let Sydney have her freedom when she’s off the clock.

      carefully-managed public image

      Are we talking about the same Sydney Sweeney? She’s already had a handful of pretty damning controversies. I wouldn’t even call her public image ‘managed’ at this point.

        Oh it’s managed alright. The controversy is the point. It grabs attention and as far as they’re concerned. All publicity is good publicity.

    I’d take a date with my partner of 25 years over any amount of money, that said my partner would kick my ass knowing I turned down $500,000.

    Everybody seems to assume “date” equals sex.

    On the other hand, $500,000 does exactly equal half a million dollars.

    Hmm, stilted and awkward date with someone I barely know, given that I’m a lesbian who hides under a hat and she’s all out in the open,

    or immediately pay off my house and my wife’s student loans?

        It’s a fairly oversized beanie that covers like two-thirds of my head, and when I’m feeling exhausted, I can (and do) pull it over my eyes to conk out for a bit.

        I love this hat, and I have absolutely no idea who Sydney Sweeney is.

          some person that makes people on social media lose their minds because they project their weird shit onto her for doing ads that feature her tits and ass.

          i have no idea like why she is famous beyond this. is she a singer? she seems to be compared to singers a lot.

            I have no idea why she is famous

            IMDB says she was in some American Eagle ads.

            I could go learn about Sydney Sweeney, while I’m available and in the queue for calls at my job, or I could just keep reading There is No Antimemetics Division, until I get interrupted by some doctor needing their outlook fixed.

            Like, the question isn’t even bout five hundred grand anymore, it’s about literally anything to do with this lady, versus my personal “hat/book against work” inertia.

            She’s an actress , she was in The Handmaid’s Tale, Euphoria, and White Lotus recently-ish. She’s also done some movies but I don’t know about that. She’s became famous very fast and was in those three hugely popular TV series.

            TBH, you all come across as incredibly pretentious and ingenuine by pretending not to even know who she is. You’ve certainly heard her name on social media. She’s frequently the subject of posts on even Lemmy, so if you’re on any other social media you DEFINITELY have heard of her, but even here on this island you’ve encountered subject matter about her.

            She’s also done some advertisements for pants and soap that come across as MAGA dog whistles, and she has done nothing to contradict being a racist, so that’s why people are mad at her.

              I’m not really in-tune with American culture on the whole, and forming identities around people is hard for me as a double stroke victim. I’m also not on social media, and don’t really pay attention too hard.

              I also still haven’t looked up who she is, cause I just don’t care that much.

    Lol. Date is literal work for guys.
    Why the fuck would i choose work over money.

    Sex maybe, but for 500k. I’d go as high as 5k, but only for straight up sex, no dating bs

    Having an awkward time with a woman I don’t even consider being that attractive and I know nothing about, or getting enough money to pay off my mortgage, get two new cameras, several lenses, renovate my kitchen and bathroom, and have money left over.

    Yeah, I am taking the money, every time, no question.
