Economic theory

One problem with bartering is what's called the double coincidence of wants (Jevons, 1893) that basically means bartering is inefficient because it's a poor likelihood that two people have something each other wants, hence we use a currency. My theory is that the same model can be applied to dating. Coupling people is a double coincidence of wants, so the most efficient method would just be everyone prostituting.
