economy-grade stud

A far-below-average dude who is usually passed over in favor of more "succulent 'n' satisfying" male-meat by all but the most ugly/desperate/undesirable hussies who would otherwise have little chance of getting laid.

Economy-grade studs may not necessarily be dislikable guys per se, but they tend to be sorely lacking in the "hot 'n' heavy" department --- they may have low stamina in bed and/or perspire excessively during intercourse, only cum a weak dribble and/or have to wait several days to "recharge", have a small/narrow wee-wee, be very overweight and/or older than dirt, have an apathetic/lackluster personality, etc. Extra points if they are financially-solvent, though --- at least they won't mooch off the lady they're with at the moment, plus they may even be willing to assist HER with the cost of a few groceries and/or housewares.

Extraction Economy

An economic system where companies don’t just sell products — they design endless hidden fees, frictions, and tricks to squeeze extra money and attention out of people. Profit comes less from value and more from exploiting inconvenience, confusion, or addiction.

“Dude, canceling my gym membership took three phone calls and a notarized letter. Pure extraction economy move.”
