Well, considering how the same people think that they need multiple cosmetic surgeries and then fill up more make-up to be "normal", I see where the 500K comes from. Even if I had 500K to burn, I won't be dating any of those, but that's just me not being normal.

    Well, the average deck hand can stay working at the normal ships that are shipping other stuff.
    The above average ones can become a deck hand for the newer vehicles for deep sea operations.

    Both are probably already paid low enough that corporate can easily pay them while reducing shipping rates at the same time.

    At the same time, there have been quite a few high-profile cases where the women used relevant laws to cause misery to others.
    Because in those cases, even if the defender ends up as not-guilty, he still most probably loses a job and more.

    There is a fundamental problem with how the laws made for these things are executed.
    They end up being inadequate to help enough of the vulnerable women (corresponding to unreported cases) and at the same time, too powerful to prevent malicious use (corresponding to fake cases).

    So overseas shipping rates drop and some of the companies convert their ships to give joy-rides in seas (because cheaper sea travel), while some seamen get to explore avenues like deep sea exploration (which seems to be a really underdeveloped field) and development.

    we’d both love to date someone who is happy with their life, but we don’t meet anyone like that

    Yes. That's pretty much how it is for most.

    But their expectations from relationships also get shaped by the expectations on them. And here I realise I am just saying the same thing as you, just in different words.
