The dude has a solid 13-year plan. Free girls everywhere are beating down the doors of 40-year-old retail managers who’ve been spending half their income on escorts, dontcha know. > [@Yakuza](#): > > If possible, I’ll start a relationship with the main escort I go see now. See, that’s just good thinking right there. By 2025, she’ll probably be noticing just a slight drop-off in business and wondering if it might be time to think about retiring from the escort biz. But what will she do? How will she support herself? Ah, but her worries will be over when **Yakuza** starts flashing that Radio Shack manager’s paycheck. Brilliant. ---

I would still socialize with the escorts because a man needs a woman, but I would have an even more greatet responsibility 2 try 2 changr the escort’s life around so that she can be encouraged 2 **spend her money** on more positve yhings like rent, a car, or 4 her child (my bold) You say yes, but then you say you would still “socialize” with the escorts and encourage them to ‘spend their money’ more wisely. 😕 First, do you expect these escorts to ever want to “socialize” with you without being paid? If you stop all escort expenditures after learning that the hookers are all drug addicts (as you just said you would), the hookers aren’t going to want to socialize with you; you have nothing they want. Or are you saying that you _wouldn’t_ in fact stop all escort expenditures, but rather continue paying these hookers just to “socialize” with, rather than engage in sex with? ---

Good attention to detail, I thought that “socializing” was some sort of code word for sex.🆒 ---

I’ll get started on applying the checklist to other threads in IMHO and we’ll see how close we are. Sadly most of them are just so boring, with the whole honest sharing of opinions and ideas and all. I fear that everything I read after experiencing this thread is gonna be a letdown. The Super Checklist of Everything We Could Possibly Ask For in an Opinion Thread -OP whose opinion is in opposition to the general population of the SDMB \*\*but it’s not the opinion he thinks is in opposition ( **WhyNot** ) -An opportunity to fight ignorance -Well-meaning posters who compose thoughtful advice for the OP -Snarky posters who provide intelligent comic relief -OP (or contributing poster) justifies opinion by means that don’t come anywhere near justification of the opinion \*\*God told me it was all right \*\*not hurting anyone -Underlying Issues® -Hookers!! _jazz hands_ -Suggestions that OP (or contributing poster) obtain psychological evaluations and/or counseling -Someone states the obvious in a way that is pertinent on the surface but can be construed as either sarcastic or even cruel depending on the reader. -A moderator warning issued either to a) the OP for insulting the opinions of and/or actual contributing posters outside the pit or to b) a contributing poster for giving the OP exactly what he asked for - OP with atrocious spelling, punctuation and/or grammar skills ( **Antinor01** ) \*\*who makes no effort to improve their typing despite numerous jibes to that effect -OP disappears after a while without answering most of the clarifying questions asked by contributing posters ---

> [@cjepson](#): > > **He appears to think of women primarily as a commodity** , and for people with such a viewpoint, paying for them is indeed probably the most appropriate way to go… certainly the most forthright. [bolding mine] He could consider buying women futures contracts instead of playing the spot market. Assuming that he’s long women, he might see an increase on his return by Dec 2025, when his women contracts come due. I knew a guy who started with a brokerage account of only $400, and he traded women futures until he had $1.5 million worth of women. ---

That’s making your money _work_ for you! 😃 😃 Why doesn’t **Yakuza** make a self-help infomercial about how guys like him can put half of their monthly earning to “profit”, have no bills, little overhead, low rent, and live the dream! He could make millions with his success program!! ---

Until now, the term “_escort_” always conjured for me the image of a beautiful, expensively dressed woman, whom no one has ever seen before suddenly appearing on the arm of a swanky celebrity in a tuxedo _escorting_ him down the red carpet on opening night. And now **Yakuza** has ruined that image for me forever. Who would dress up for a rendezvous in a storage unit? ---

> [@florez](#): > > You certainly do not have to answer anything that you wish to keep private… Yeah, he has to be really careful about sharing too much on a message board, because these embarassing secrets could really affect his station in life. If people knew he frequented escorts, just imagine how he would be regarded by the barista where he gets his wifi, or by Cranky Joe who runs the counter at the U Stor It, or by Todd, the manager at the batting cage where he works part time for $7 an hour. Yes, be very careful about what you reveal, OP. It could really impact all those irons you have in the fire. ---

I could imagine him getting lunch during work and talking with an elderly waitress lady at the diner during his lunch hour: Him: (sigh) It’s getting harder and harder to make it on my paycheck. Her: I see you here just about every day. You must be getting a lot of hours, though. Him: Yeah. I need to. Half my paycheck goes to my girls. Her: Aww. You’re a father? Him (looks at her) They call me “daddy”. Her: Oh. How nice. 😃 😃 😛 😃 😉 :o ---

If you stop all escort expenditures after learning that the hookers are all drug addicts (as you just said you would), the hookers aren’t going to want to socialize with you; you have nothing they want. No woman would want 2 socialize with me without getting paid so I make it my mission 2 stack up money so I can have some kind of interaction with a woman. I probably don’t have nothing that any woman wants. I work at a retail store. Or shall I say I have nothing a free woman wants. I’ve already explained this description of me, why are u bringing it up again? ---
