END OF MESSAGE

I had one lady convey her craft as:  "Feigning interest in someone for a period of time, for money."
As jaded as it sounds and regardless of whether she enjoyed her job or not, would you say that is an honest, bare bones description of the transaction

No, that's not it at all.  These women are really into you.  The only reason they take your money is because it's an important part of a time honored ritual.  Kinda like communion at mass.

[

Anyone who felt that way about any job, regardless of what it was, should go do something else.

And once, I had a provider describe her job to me this way:  "I love someone for an hour."

I think the acting is part of the service. I guess I am just selfish.

This link was posted on another board a while back. Here is a short excerpt.  

"Explicit instructions that I be enthusiastic on top of being willing is one of the worst parts of the job for me. It’s the closest I ever come to feeling humiliated while working, because my enthusiasm in this case isn’t about me at all; it’s about their egos and their need to feel desired. But I’m a real human being, and my personal, authentic desires deserve better than to be exploited by a man I’ve just met. It’s easier for me to fake enjoyment with a man who assumes it, since I feel we’re both implicitly joining in on the fantasy that he’s bought. The man who must make it explicit, who needs me to initiate every time, who has to be told I want him—he’s the one who asks too much."

And if you don't like the article, maybe you will enjoy this. I thought this pic was pretty funny

very informative artile...thanks for the link.

Let me try a whack at it..so to speak.  For me, and me alone, I get all Woody Allen like.  In my heart and head I realize that I sometimes (more rare these days) spend money to get a fantasy.  A fantasy of friendship, affection, and intimacy.  I feel badly when I look behind the curtain.  When the fantasy disappears I am left with an even emptier feeling.  I know...fucked, totally fucked.  That I am.

I think the author of this article was a little naive going in. Did he really believe they weren't doing this for the money? Even after spending 20 grand?
But I do feel sorry for the guy about his last appointment. I hope I never end up in a situation like that.

Thanks for sharing.  It is a good read and the comments were insightful.  But I am still fucked...totally fucked.  Maybe that good Catholic Boy thing.

You probably feel disappointed for the obvious reason that you may have been expecting a real relationship-type experience from one that is simply a pay for time endeavor.  We all would like to think, or at least to temporarily convince ourselves that it is more than it is...but the brutal truth is that it is not.  Even though many will say that it is more...it is still not a relationship in the sense that all humans naturally strive for....it is a temporary pretend relationship that can fill a void for a short period of time and then it's back to reality...and the empty feeling you have experienced.  It's never too late to find a real relationship with a real gal in the real world!  Keep the faith brother!

And I am sure there are many others who look at it the same way and even more who look at in any number of different ways.  There is way too much variation amongst humans to say that one attitude is "the way" to look at something.

well know provider told me "guys do not comprehend how hard and horrible this job is, they think we enjoy it but we do not..it is all about $"
I think that's the way it is, I honestly do not believe there are girls who like this..maybe only those who cannot get laid easil

Having known a few providers more than casually, it's my observation that providing is like a lot of other human experiences, but perhaps with more highs and lows.

In the first year or two, it's all excitement:  all those interesting men, all those sexy outfits, all that money, all that sex, perhaps touring, the emergence of "regulars," the acceptance into the TER community......and then...

...it gets to be a job, pretty much like any other job, and then...

....they realize they're spending two hours processing calls and emails and getting ready for every hour actually seeing a client, that lots of clients are demanding, boring, discourteous, scary; that sometimes sex just ain't that much fun; perhaps sometimes it's disgusting or painful; that the time between clients is lost; that it's not easy to keep up appearances and live a secret life and lie to neighbors, relatives, children, friends.....

A provider who claimed to have slept with 3,000 men once told me: This is a business for beautiful women in their 20s.  They should get into it, work hard for 3 - 5 years and bank all their money, and then get out."
