Meet market

A meet market (or meat market) is a location or activity in which people are viewed as commodities, or a business like a nightclub where people typically look for a casual sex partner. The term is also used metaphorically, for example, to refer to the process of deciding which man to "buy" for a husband, or for finding a man to date at the grocery market.

In general, the term has evolved to mean a place or activity at which single people congregate, and while formerly a pejorative has become neutral.
