To clarify talking stage in modern era is
- texting
- seeing in person
- not exclusive


also college and pre 24 dating is so much different than 25-28 working class

if you're 8.5/10+ you have dudes in multiple cities that can fly you out or 7/10's baiting you to go hawaii, miami, vegas, mexico.

if you're spending $500-2,000/month going on early stage dating, flying someone out isn't that bad
