We should go to the park together

I will use this round only for proactive Arguments. 01. In order to go to the park with Pro, I would have to travel (to some distance, even if it were close to home) which exhausts valuable resources. For example, I might have to spend money getting to the park which would not be favorable if I'd prefer to spend the cash on other things. 02. Since I have a limited amount of time, there are other people I would prefer to go to the park with. There are also other things I could do with my time including make money, have sex, or do something that I definitively and wholeheartedly enjoy -- vs. something I may potentially hate. In microeconomic theory, the opportunity cost of a choice is the value of the best alternative forgone where, given limited resources (like time) a choice needs to be made between several mutually exclusive alternatives -- i. e. going to the park with Pro vs. doing something else. "The notion of opportunity cost plays a crucial part in attempts to ensure that scarce resources are used efficiently. Thus, opportunity costs are not restricted to monetary or financial costs: the real cost of output forgone, lost time, pleasure or any other benefit that provides utility should also be considered opportunity costs" [1]. Attending the park with Pro might also induce in me a Fear of Missing Out or FoMO, which is "a pervasive apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences from which one is absent" [2]. Thus I might feel more anxious or dissatisfied by my outing with Pro, especially if there is truly more utility or pleasure to be had in the opportunity cost. 03. People prefer spending time with others whose company they enjoy. Since I do not know if I would enjoy Pro's company, I can only make assumptions based on what little information I have. For example, I know he appears to be conservative which is very off-putting. I can assume that we would not have a lot in common to talk about or experience pleasurably together. 04. I can also assume that Pro wouldn't approve of my friends, lifestyle, individual traits or values. This increases the likelihood of conflict. Conflict encourages hostility, tension, resentment and potentially violence. 05. It's arguably not safe to travel and spend time alone with strange men. This would put me at some level of risk. It also puts Pro at some level of risk. After all, if I misconstrue his actions, I can accuse him of trying to be aggressive and he may be penalized unfairly. 06. I'm married, thus I don't make it a habit of going to the park with strange men by myself. My spouse might have to come with us, thereby (potentially) adding an entire new dynamic to the outing. If my spouse doesn't want come with us, or understand why I might go to the park, then suggesting (and acting on) going to the park with a strange man could add unnecessary conflict to my otherwise happy and stress-free day. My levels of cortisol would increase (the stress hormone) which could negatively impact my physiology and physical well being [3]. 07. Assuming I wanted to spend time with Pro, I might not want to go to the park. The park can be cold and/or hot. You are also exposed to the elements including sun, wind and rain which could be problematic or annoying. The park contains mosquitos, ticks and other bugs. Also, parks can be dangerous depending on which park we frequent [4]. 08. Parks are being more populated with people (and especially annoying children) now that the Pokemon Go game has encouraged venturing to neighborhood parks. Kids are loud and obnoxious. They would negatively impact my experience. 9. There are many dangers of meeting people from the internet that you do not know. These include scams, frauds, or exposure that puts you at risk. This is called "stranger danger" in the digital age due to potential predators or cons [5]. 10. I have no interest in going to the park with Pro. Therefore, my attendance would be against my will or desire. Conclusion It would only be worthwhile to go to the park with Pro if it measured so on a cost-benefit analysis. By the end of this debate, I will measure the alleged pro's of going to the park with Pro vs. the potential (and guaranteed) cons. This will prove there are more negatives and/or risks to going to the park with Pro than not going to the park with Pro. Thank you.
