Framed another way, we live in a world in which men and women are constantly vying for companionship.
A woman has the right to reject a man, even if he lies to her or even coerces her, and the other way around. So, since it is a matter of choice, is it really so bad for me to lie to a woman in order to get her into bed? I mean, she can make up her own mind whether or not she wants to continue with an affair based on deception.
Of course it's wrong.
The whole open market argument doesn't hold water with me. The philosophy that its an open market so anything goes is a pretty bad one. History has proven that this laissez faire attitude leads to exploitation and tyranny.
Also, let me make it clear that I do not envy anyone their success. I am glad that people, through their own endeavors, become wealthy. What bothers me is when they become wealthy through exploitation and deception.
