People are "experience goods"

I'm reading a book called The Upside of Irrationality that's about behavioral economics. The author talks about online dating services providing a service for buying and selling "experience goods"--also known as people!

LOL, that's cold. I love economic theory because it's so reductionist in it's approach to humanity that it reminds me of distopian sci-fi. Great place to get material.
