Both serve different purposes, so in that respect I wouldn't say they're equal in terms of both being worse.
If people wanna hook up, cool, "you be you" and it's all good.
I do have the option to hook up, but in my case my free time is very rare and precious and don't feel like casting myself out to the multitude of time-wasters and "random dick" where chances are slim they would have any idea how to please me- in my experience most people suck in bed and who has "time fo dat?"?? That's a number's game that's not fulfilling or viable to me, I don't have time or tolerance for disappointment so hiring is the better solution for me.
