Actually hookup culture is the natural progression of the women's rights movements. It actually started in the 1970s but then in the 80s there was the HIV and STD scare so it once again stopped. Women didn't really start having major roles as a whole in the workforce until 1984 I believe it was (I can find the video I watched if someone asks), so that also aided. Now, women not only have jobs but are societally expected to have jobs, so they are given more equality and autonomy rights. This is actually what led to hookup culture at first.
However, tinder culture (although most people I know use tinder for networking or in the same way as match.com) as well as a mass amount in the increase of escort & sex-companionship-for-cash is what sealed the deal for hookup culture. Sugarbabies are a MASSIVE part of that, if not the most visible and most media-attentioned part of that, since sugardaddy sites basically allowed sex-companionship-for-cash to be legal through a loophole, thus causing a massive influx of girls. No need for a madam, no need to screen (though I disagree with this lol), no need to worry about being busted by law enforcement.
Then market got saturated with sugarbabies so much due to the social acceptance, that it no longer pays off to try and find one on the internet anymore. It's gone back to basics, back to the old days, where you need to meet one in person. But guess what? In the past, this man often married you. And these days? Because casual sex and sex-companionship-for-money is so common, the man will never ever marry you. No more Anna Nicole Smiths because they are now deemed lazy gold diggers since women are expected to have jobs. He knows you'll allow him to make it a temporary thing and it's expected to be. And he knows if he has a wife, you'll allow yourself to hook up with a married man who thinks her husband is faithful. It's because it's now societally accepted, even if it requires acting sociopathic and lying to one of the parties involved.
The whole thing these days is often sociopathic and based on delusion (especially that of the man because he fails to admit he has to buy people and their time). In the past, it was just dating among the rich, but these days that's definitely not what it is when knowing you're being deceitful (lying to wife, manipulating the most money out possible) and sociopathy are basically core requirements of the game. That for sure can result in bad karma IMO.
Bam. Point proven. It's cyclical.
