Ok imagine you are a hetrosexual male who is unlucky at love and for not that much money you can see attractive young women dance around a stage not wearing much clothing and afterwards you go online and see pictures of those attractive women doing every day stuff without males in the pictures. Allowing you to have a fantasy where you are with her just chilling at a cafe. And of course she is smiling in every picture because she is happy to see you and spend time with you.
Makes sense now? Yeah it is sad but yeah I get it.
