-It’s not “my boat”. I was just explaining how some people enter relationships that are even more foolish than prostitution. Probably because there is some room for denial such as “She loves me, I’m just giving her this car/apartment to get to get her back on her feet”. When calling an escort and paying for 2 hours, you can’t really lie to yourself.
-“…well beyond what can be reduced to a commercial transaction.”
For many men, it can be. These high-end girls aren’t just paid for their looks and to lie there. They are the best at what they do. Many are good actresses and have college degrees. It’s called “the girlfriend experience” and their job is to give such a good experience that one forgets about money (or nearly everything else). Think about it, many women fake who they are or fake being in love for decades just for money. I think being paid to act as someone’s girlfriend for a few hours is more respectable.
They are the best at what they do, and what they do is usually geriatric old men.
Give me an enthusiastic but less experienced partner who is there for her own amusement - rather than attempting to “act”.
The old sugar daddy routine is old hat. These days most men are looking for a woman who will be an intellectual and economic equal, not a woman who is there solely for her own economic benefit - and/or as her only means of support.
