Dude, I could give fuck one about you patronizing hos, pros, hookers, street walkers, prostitutes, escorts, call girls, whatever the hell you want to call them. But be honest about why you’re doing it. You’re doing it because you want to have sex and don’t want to go to the trouble of finding/keeping a woman who likes you for who you are. Not because you physically/psychologically need to have sex (blue balls is not an actual medical diagnosis), not because all women are ultimately prostitutes and will only fuck you if you have money to give/spend on them (could you be a tiny shred more insulting if you tried really hard?), not because it’s a savvy business move (there is _nothing_ you could do with almost $5K a year to improve your life? Nothing? Really?). Because none of those things are true. You know it. Everyone else here knows it. Saying it accomplishes nothing but to cast an aura of bullshit around everything else you say. Especially this whole bit about how you pay her to go to the movies, but since she’s there and you’re out the money anyway, you might as well fuck her and get your money’s worth. That’s like those couple of cookies that got a little overdone or cracked moving them to the cooling rack–can’t really serve them to the guests, so I might as well eat them myself. I mean, _really_. Neither of us is fooling anybody, not even ourselves. ---

Learn what he has to say. Men need women; women don’t need men. But look on the brightside, there’s a comfortable $400 a month in it for you if you meet the right homeless guy with a PS3. ---

The references to “a free girl” in this thread keep reminding me of a poster for an information session on domestic abuse that had a handwritten addendum to the headline: **BEER** BATTERED WOMEN PS: I’m a “free girl” married to a short, poor guy. ---

Yakuza has still not shared the full story of how he lives, and I imagine from what he has said, and not said-that he is homeless. Can Yakuza supply any more information about his living situation? You certainly do not have to answer anything that you wish to keep private, but I was curious about the possibility that your living situation might be a negative result of your spending on escorts. On the other hand, an unstable living situation might not be a negative thing to you, and well worth the company of escorts. Who am I to judge? ---
