Considering that the typical movie-and-dinner date, even at a modest restaurant and not-the-most-expensive theater, can easily cost $75 for the night and most girlfriends expect a date more frequently than once every two months… yeah, that’s less expensive than a traditional relationship.
From your posts I’m assuming that you’re paying not just for the sex act but some interaction with her before and/or after. Is that correct?
You say that you have minimal social contact with women and that might be so - what do you do for a living that you have so little contact with women?
Personally, I find actual, non-simulated relationships more satisfying but whatever you find that works for you is OK by me, as long as everyone involved is adult and consenting. I also don’t find it troubling to go long periods of time without sex, but then, I’m a middle-aged woman so that’s probably easier for me than it’s ever going to be for you. The problem I’m hearing from you is not so much the money but that you are NOT finding the experiences you’re having satisfying - if you did, maybe you wouldn’t feel the money was “squandered”. Is that also correct?
I live and work on a military base, but my social interactions with the opposite sex were nearly as limited as when I was in college and surrounded by females.
I think just about everyone does.
Yes, to an extent. I would probably feel a lot less bad about spending all that money if the experiences were highly enjoyable. I sat down and did the math and… God, it’s even worse than I thought. Overall, $1375 spent. I had 9 experiences, 5 of them I would not repeat for free, 3 of them I would repeat, but for a lesser price, and only one of them I would repeat for the full price.
Keeping my comments related to prostitution only, I know that the amount of money you’ve spent seems to be significant to you, but at an average of around $150 each, you’re not getting top or even mid-level…providers. I’ve never paid for sex but I’ve been offered it from time to time over the years, and the absolute lowest by an attractive, personable girl was $250 (15 years ago, btw) and that was because it was getting late, we’d already spent some time together and she seemed to like me. I don’t think this was her regular rate. The rest of the women I’ve been propositioned by were good-looking, with sparkling eyes and good personalities, and I would think that if I were planning to indulge myself with paid sex with an attractive and personable girl I’d budget at least $400, plus maybe another $100 - $150 tip if she was good and I might want to see her again. At this rate or more I would imagine you’d be in for a more rewarding experience in terms of both looks and in not being rushed through the experience, as I imagine girls in that price range are wanting to cultivate regular customers. But again, keep in mind that this is all supposition and I’m not speaking from experience. It’s also possible that my experiences were unique and that even $300 - $500 these days won’t buy that great of a time, but still you get the idea. The more money you spend, the better quality girl and better quality experience you’re likely to have. And the money you’ve been spending really isn’t that much from a prostitute’s perspective, so you’re drawing girls from almost the bottom of the pool, maybe one step up from strung out streetwalkers.
HUH? $150-$200 is a lot of damn money. Think about how long these girls would have to slave at McDonald’s, or Walgreens, or Ross to make that kind of money.
Of course, working at McDonald’s you don’t have to worry about the threat of violence, police arresting you, johns beating the shit out of you, STD’s, and the occasional need for an abortion… Also, if there’s a pimp involved she’s not keeping much of that $150-200
Fact, is, McDonald’s is the bottom-of-the-barrel for jobs, too.
