I remain single in my mid-30s (more on that below), and I have not fathered any children (as far as I know). Many American providers seem surprised if and when I tell them this.

I would be quite surprised.Lets see a pic?

Maybe he was just bored today?

I say HAVE FUN STAY SINGLE!!!

I think there surprise is that you made it through their verification.

got to know you better they would not be surprised.  Many young professionals make a good impression on first blush and SEEM like prime marriage material, but when a girl gets to know them better by looking under the hood and kicking the tires a little, he turns out to be a clunker.  Just another possibility for consideration.

Single mongers are not quite unicorns, but still very much the minority from what I can tell. Looks or money may factor into the reactions, but also demeanor. I'm by no means implying that escorts are all mentalists, but we tend to be pretty good at calling it when it comes to marital status and kids. It's hard to explain, but there can be nuances in presence and even sexual behaviors. And those newly divorced can have a different feel: free, but still kinda breaking in their new lives. If I were with a decent looking hobbyist who seemed conspicuously grateful for their O's, I may well suspect there's some sort of marital sex drought at home.

In  a strange twist of fate, my wife would be surprised that I act single.

Now I am getting shortened, choppy sentences with poor punctuation in stereo! LOL

and yourself, like you are some great catch but no one can keep up to catch you. Very Laughable

if you really have something to say then just come out and fucking say it OK?

Could you elaborate on how money and a monger's demeanor might factor into a provider's assessment of a monger's marital and parental status? What sort of nuances in presence and sexual behaviors would you associate with single, married, or divorced mongers, respectively?

Do you have anything to add to my observations?

Yes. Being single and childless leaves me a lot of disposable income to spend on this hobby and several other pursuits. Another advantage is that I can do what I want when I want to do it, without having to consult with a significant other or make arrangements for the kids. I also don't have to make up cover stories for what I am doing when I go out for sessions.

and I have seldom dated. It isn't really the way I wanted my life to be, but that is the way it turned out

By the same token, my mongering has taught me that I am happier as a single monger than I would be as a husband or a boyfriend (with or without mongering).

cynical, Jack. I thought you might include that perhaps he's not such a "find" and he's just making it sound like he is. Of course I'd never insinuate such a thing? Is GaGa asleep?  lol

Joie de Vivre about you  ...

...with as much Joie as possible, you may be certain of that.

I am twenty something years older than you, but "similarly situated"

I often reflect upon those life choices as I am headed to the airport to head out for a weekend fuckfest in a tropical paradise that a married guy would have to plan six months in advance, while I don't even think about until noon, but by 4 PM I am on the plane drinking champagne on my way to paradise.

I'm not so sure that is always the case.  Two incomes can build up equity in, say, a home, more quickly that one, especially if both individuals have good to high paying jobs.  Also one can buffer for the other one during layoffs etc. Of course the inevitable financial divorce rape of the guy throws you into intense poverty -- but at least on paper being married can be a financial benefit.

...do I have your permission to use it with the local chicas on my upcoming mongering trip to Colombia? Will the chicas there remember your use of that line on them?  

...who don't have the luxury of being able to do whatever they want, as GaG and I do, and instead have to make such elaborate plans and cover stories to hide the hobby from their wives

...hookers, cigars, opera and Broadway tickets, fine Italian restaurants, vacations, more hookers, vacations in Latin America where I fuck even more hookers, etc. Imagine trying to do that when you are married. My basic living expenses are fairly modest, since I don't want or need a lot of other stuff that many wives would want to spend money on, like a bigger apartment, fancy furniture and housewares, etc.

and then they turn around and bitch about how much it costs to put their four kids through college.

Next winter it's Pura Vida again.  Maybe Medellin and Panama first.

I put two kids through college and have started college funds for two others.  And I still have plenty for whoring around.  You chumps just don't make enough munny! LMAO!  Stop whining.

I fell prey to marriage once, I don't have children because I'm too damn selfish, probably a major reason why I'm dovorced as well.

that my standards of whom I would fuck would be low.  However, I have noticed that
the majority of young ladies fall into the 0 to 5 range. If I was 30,  I would not chase them
let alone consider getting married to one.  Young men these days have their work cut out  
trying to find that jem in a herd.  And NO....I don't need any lessons on woman's lib bull-shit or that being a size 15 is ok.

Add me to the single w/no kids list too.  I also had a few providers tell me that they were surprised that I was still single and without kids and I've been in the hobby for about 16 yrs.

altho your hiding behind an alias to call someone out is not the point of my post.

I'm single also, no kids that I am aware of.  Never been an issue in the game.  I have heard the same...just be honest, and tell them.

"I remain single and childless by choice because I value my freedom and independence over all else, which shapes many aspects of my life, including my career, my politics, and my sex life. In the absence of a marital sex partner, I pursue this hobby as a more cost-effective way to fulfill my sexual needs (in terms of the time, money, and energy that it consumes and the quality that it yields in return) than civilian dating or hookups, and it is probably more cost-effective than marriage would be anyway. This hobby leaves me free to do so much more with the remainder of my free time and energy and disposable income than I could if I were married or constantly chasing civilian pussy. "  

most of us are bragging about how happy our lives are.

I also made a conscious choice at a young age to stay single and not have children. I also value my freedom too much. Even in this world, I won't consider any sort of 'sugar baby' arrangement, because I don't want the commitments.  

Keep up, GaGa.  It's not all about you.  You just think it is.  LMAO!

I have never fallen for the old belief system that I have to be married with children.
It's interesting the married-with-children women that love to Judge and put me down because of  
my willingness to Be Who I am.

You made your post directly under mine, so either you don't yet know how to reply to a post (after at least 20,000 posts here) or you're just a dumb-fuck. Which is it?

would be you.  Since when, even when I'm replying to you, is everything in my post directed at you or about you?  You really are determined to be dense, aren't you

The main factors that have turned me off from dating civilian women in my age bracket are their personalities and behaviors, not their sizes or appearances. I actually prefer voluptuous women, so a size 15 would not necessarily be a problem for me, if she carries it well.  

...except I have always known that I would never want to marry or have children, and I discovered the hobby at an early enough age that I knew that I had a viable alternative sexual outlet.

So many of the ladies that I see (maybe half or so) seem surprised to learn of my status, so I figured that there must be some factors at work that I do not perceive or understand. I want to know what they might be.

Now that you mention it, I realize that the hookers in Latin America who seemed surprised to learn that I was a childless bachelor were more surprised at my childlessness than my bachelorhood. Most of the hookers down there have at least one child, if not more. (I met one girl who already had five children at the age of 25.)  

I'm  a bit younger than you but a similar situation. A significant amount of my friends are with long term girlfriends and will likely get married shortly. My longest civvie relationship has been 6 months. The debate I have been struggling with going forward in my adult life is do I want to commit to one person financially and spiritually "for the rest of my life"?

fuck up their marriage, so they get divorced, then they fuck that up by getting married again.

...and on the rare occasion that it does get lonely, an hour or two with a provider with outstanding GFE skills should fix it. If that doesn't work, remember all the B.S. that comes with a relationship and you will appreciate your solitude.  

But Jake always claims to be both smart and correct, even like above where it's plain to anyone that he is clearly in the wrong, but does that stop him??? No wonder he was dumb enough to try marriage twice. Even  a drunk like me figured out it wasn't for me after a very brief attempt at being married.

Why am I not surprised.  And I don't think I'm alone.  I have no doubt your twists and turns above have amused....Well, actually, I'll be they've amused no one.  Lots of SMH going on.
