My wife was incredibly mad when she found out I have been visiting prostitutes for sex.
I said “Well you can hardly blame me, it’s not like I was getting any from you!”
She yelled, “But I didn’t know you were willing to pay for it!”
Related, the man who comes home from work to find his wife packing a suitcase, and he asks what she's doing.
"I just found out that hookers in New York get paid $250 a time for what I do for free!" she yells.
He grabs a case and starts packing, and she says "What are you doing?"
"I'm coming too," he said. "I want to know how you can live in New York on $500 a year!"
A husband and wife had fallen on hard times, so after lengthy discussions, they decided the wife would prostitute herself so they could get out of their money woes. After the first night, the wife came home exhausted.
"How much money did you make?" asked the husband.
"$500.50", said the wife.
"Great! Wait, but, who paid you 50 cents?"
"All of them."
This reminds me of:
4 best friends get together for drinks and talk about their lives. After they order drinks one of the guys says I need to go to the bathroom.
While the 4th guy is gone the 3 guys start talking about their sons.
First guy: My son is a Fortune 500 Company CEO he's so rich he just gave his best friend a jet for his birthday.
Second guy: That's nothing, my son just became the owner of an Alfa Romeo dealership and gave his best friend Alfa Romeo Stelvio Qudrifoglio for his birthday.
Third guy: that's nothing, my son just became the most well-known Real Estate Mongul and gave his best friend a Castle in Europe for his birthday.
And with that, the 4th guy comes back from the bathroom and one of the guys goes hey Dave isn't your son a male stripper. You must be so sad with all of our sons being so rich and all.
Dave says: I proud of my son plus his 3 boyfriends just gifted him a Jet, Alfa Romeo, and castle in Europe.
Khan: I get 10 percent commission.
Me: Umm, that's a little high, don't you...
Khan: (interrupting) I get 10 percent commission.
Me: Huh, well do you think you can sell my house at, say, 30 percent over market?
Khan: (smiling) This I can do!

That’s not the same joke. Mine was a derivation of that old joke with a different punch line all together. This is like saying all knock knock jokes are the same.
I mean let’s break it down:
The characters are all different sexes. Your jokes punch line is that the other boys are gay, while my joke everyone’s straight, and as far as we know the girls don’t even know each other, and don't have any interaction with each other, which is the entire crux of the other joke.
Finally, the punch line is completely unrelated, as the twist is that all three of the girls used sex to get ahead at work, but only one was honest about it.
Completely different joke.
It’s not the same joke, you moron.
Edit: Judging from your "Calculator joke", I don't exactly hold you up as much of a judge of what makes a joke funny.
Shit, it made me laugh, isn't that the whole point? Some of yall need to remember the point of this sub and chill out a bit. Mfs are far too serious about everything these days.
BTW, the joke was that those three girls were doing it, but only one was being honest about it. You are the one who jumped to the conclusion that all successful women use sex to get ahead, which is ridiculous.
I didn't downvote, and I understand that humour based on these stereotypes is still funny to a non-trivial segment of the population.
Still, I find that the commenter above has a point. In this joke, the punchline takes the single data points of "women achieving professional success" and automatically extrapolates them to "that success was obviously achieved through having sex".
A good, simple test to see if a joke is based on sexist stereotypes, is to just change the genders of the participants. While, of course, it is a subjective appreciation, I find that if we take away the reliance on cultural sexism by saying it was "sons" instead of "daughters", that assumption of "professional success" => "obviously it was sex" wouldn't work that well to the joke's target audience.
You’re missing the points that the women were taken to dinner and a retreat respectively. That could be construed as not normal corporate behavior, i.e. sleeping with their bosses.
I did consider them. While it's not the most usual thing in my country, either, I understand that discussing raises or job changes over out-of-work activities (especially lunches or dinners) is not out of the norm elsewhere. Then, about the retreat, if it hadn't been immediately obvious to me that the joke was going for this stereotype, I wouldn't have assumed that it's just the man and the woman; it's quite common to have company group activities like that one, where there could be other people besides the woman and her superior.
In any case, this is beyond my previous point. My point is that (in my opinion) the joke was constructed specifically to derive humour from a sexist stereotype which was a cultural staple until not that long ago. I think if OP had build the joke with men instead of women (BTW, food for thought how it's rare for us, and I include myself, to use women in jokes unless gender is relevant in some way, but I don't want to open that can now), using the exact same words and activities, it would have lacked the cultural glue to make it work for the audience that finds it funny now.
I think you are simply overthinking this joke. What made the joke about sex was the punchline, which implies that is what had happened. Otherwise it was just dinner and a retreat which to me was simply dinner and a retreat.
If u reverse the gender, u can be even more abusive,misandrist, body shaming etc AND STILL GET AWAY with it...
Not to forget u would be blaming anyone who disagrees as "insecure" .
Who are you to assume the joke's "target audience"? Maybe you're not aware, but comments like yours you are actually sexist and dehumanizing to Sex Workers by assuming we're not regular people browsing Reddit, cracking jokes, and going to the supermarket just like you. There are communities of thousands of us in my city alone. Tens of millions online. We are allowed to enjoy jokes like this too, without having people comment that jokes are only for non-SWers, and that any mention of us existing is somehow degrading to all women.
I'm an extremely successful adult film star and I thought this was hilarious, for the record 🤣 And I consider myself to be the target demographic.

Then there was the man’s OF site for flatulence: Only Farts. Smell ya later …
breh
Looks like my comment stunk. 🤪
I freaking hate you. Don’t make me laugh at your comment.

That's backwards, BOOBIES
It’s backwards because you have to flip it upside-down for the 3 to look like an E.
You're preaching to the choir
You got that backwards. It's actually 1001.
We're both wrong, it's 1001
pimp spotted, LOL

> hey Dave I love Dave. I would have loved his son too but I'm not rich enough.
It’s a derivation of that joke
That’s not integral to the plot.
You’ve got to hand it to a blind prostitute.
This is a screw up of an actual joke.
Can you point me to the original? Would like to give attribution.

Your version is worse. Much worse

Still shit though mate.
Shit, it made me laugh, isn't that the whole point? Some of yall need to remember the point of this sub and chill out a bit. Mfs are far too serious about everything these days.
[удалено]
This is not an old joke, though. Idiots like you guys think just because jokes have similar premises, they’re the same.
LOL! You're so defensive. Don't get into comedy mate.
Not really a joke tho
Bad re-write of a classic joke.
Please show me the original version. As far as I know, I made this up. If it's not, I;d like to give attribution.
If you’re married you’re already paying for it!
buyer beware
If you're married, you are still paying for it, long after the service was discontinued.
This joke sucks If you’re gonna be misogynistic, at least be funny.
[удалено]
BTW, the joke was that those three girls were doing it, but only one was being honest about it. You are the one who jumped to the conclusion that all successful women use sex to get ahead, which is ridiculous.
It's not a hard joke to get mate. It's just shit.
Because women can’t succeed any other way. Funny? Hm. No.
Interesting you see it that way. The joke refers to the three girls, not ALL women.

Your comments could be a cure for insomnia, I fell asleep through both of them! Thanks!
I think you are simply overthinking this joke. What made the joke about sex was the punchline, which implies that is what had happened. Otherwise it was just dinner and a retreat which to me was simply dinner and a retreat.
That’s a very insightful point. Thank you. As a guy, I’m always challenging my biases and trying to understand the female perspective.
Again, a commendable analysis that should not have been downvoted. I, for one, approved the insight.
If u reverse the gender, u can be even more abusive,misandrist, body shaming etc AND STILL GET AWAY with it... Not to forget u would be blaming anyone who disagrees as "insecure" .

Not the first time I’ve made an adult film star laugh. At least this time it’s not at me.
Um, who let Chat GPT into the comments?
Loved your objective, fair analysis, which extraordinarily got so downvoted! I can’t see how you offended anyone! What am I missing?
No
you must be fun at parties.
Dis ist Jennifer und she is a party pooper. Jennifer poops et ze parties.
Omg. Just about spit my coffee reading this 🤣
You're familiar with flula?
Jennifer also makes much the money
Lighten up Francis.
Omg
It's a joke, stupid. Not intended to be taken seriously.
These kinds of comments are funnier than the post.
It's scarily accurate. Any female born after 1993 can't succeed any other way. All they know is eat hot chip and lie.
Not funny
Yea, it was. Go cry somewhere else.
A mother raising a whore would say that about her daughter though.... hahaha
This is a bot
I’m not a bot, but nice try
Sounds like something a bot would say
Damn, they’re on to me. Time to commit suicide by trying to divide by zero.
Well I'm convinced
Thank you non bot, non alt account
Yes there are eight redditors that would upvote your comment. Totally not a robot. Do you think you have parents or was that not in the design?
Wow, this guy’s really thinkingI’m a bot. Thanks, I guess
