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

She was giving an honest assessment of how she viewed what she does.

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.

I participated in a conversation here where I refered to the ladies special providers of kindness.  From Dylan'  "she came to me so peasefully and took my crown of thorns, come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm"  faning is not faking.  If a beautiful lady will alow me to be with her for an hour and give me all that she gives helping her with some $ is more than reasonable.  Another guy responded the "we see this hobby very differently, we are talking about rental pussy..." i could not beleive that any man would desire sex with a woman that he refers to "rental"  I think most of the bad people are the guys not the girls.  so for all of us who love you, please let me enjoy the fanticy that you are interested in me.  I know the truth, you are here for $ and i am here because I love women when i can see them with NO STRINGS.  It is a great trade.

Like communion at mass?  I see cynicism is prevalent just about everywhere...Another satisfied catholic I see...lol

Now that is an honest opinion....

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

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

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.

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.

How about a former catholic boy???  

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.
 

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.

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!
