Had an interesting lunch with a prospect today and we got to talking about the marriage premium.  

Can I get a clarification on what single really is?

Had an interesting lunch with a prospect today and we got to talking about the marriage premium.    
   
 Hey look man I gotta make a living and if a potential client wants to talk about the shape/color of a monkeys ass then RT is all in!!!!  
   
 So after I left I did some research and came across a recent study by 2 guys **** *****  
   
 (Study - “For Richer, For Poorer: How Family Structures Economic Success in America)  
   
 And I quote "The data strongly suggest that had marriage rates not declined substantially among parents, many more families would have attained middle-class incomes, and the inequality across families would have increased at a slower rate"  
   
 So I venture to guess that 90% or more of Providers are Single.  I dare someone to prove me wrong on this statistic!!!!  
   
 And furthermore I posit that factor is the greatest contributor to these women becoming Providers.  
   
 When Providers talk to me they always state how $$$ is a big concern in their life.  It's a lot easier to pay the bills on 2 incomes.  That's why its called the marriage premium.  
   
 How many women would be a Provider if they were married?    
   
 RT  
   
 P.S.  I decided to forgo the mathematical compare/contrast of census data of single and married women in terms of income.  For fear that one of you smart asses would claim to be a world class Census expert  
   
   
   
 

It's just a bunch of your suppositions strung together and is so full of holes it's like Swiss Cheese. Not one of your better trolling efforts.

Agreed but he got you to reply twice and me once hahahaha

So...if SuzyCumsALot is hooking....and PetePimp is her BF...it's only one income per se.

Because he's one of our more creative trolls, even when he occasionally floats a lead balloon like this turkey.

There could be 10 adults in the house if only one person brings in an income.  For all practical (economic)purposes you are single.

Clearly you don't and clearly this one is a proverbial fart in a phone booth.  

If my recollection of test cases up for discussion is still viable...the parameters were set.

 The 1040 is not relevant in this discussion.  The source of income is the determinant factor.  
   
 Now keep in mind a single income does not mean that you cannot enjoy SOME of the benefits of marriage (if you live with another person).  Most importantly your childcare costs will go down, the emotional stress is not as high if you had to bear the responsibilities on your own, etc.  
   
 But Dr. Who keep in mind this (I spent a lot of $$$ to learn this and you get it for FREE *****Capital Flows Towards Returns*****)  
   
 What does that mean?    
   
 Spend 2 years in business school.  Ya think I am giving this shit away for Free - ha think again sucker  
   
 

It's lucky for you that you learned this while you're young.  It took me two failed marriages before my dumb ass figured out marriage was not my thing.

So….yeah…not sure where that guessing gets us, or what your point is.  

Most hookers are in their 20s.  And most women in their 20s are single. Thus, so much for Ridgeschmuckey's entire premise.  What a clown.

Providers leave me alone.

Dear NahtyNikkey:
You are right in the respect that Ridgetucky should of elaborated more on the demographics and background of the subset that he was targeting. Nahtynikkey, with that said he also should of asked in what point of their lives did they enter the sex industry.  Once he addresses the circumstances and options that were before them then he would have a better understanding of who the particular subset is and how they arrived in the sex industry.  Also another question would be how long do they stay, and what are the participants economic goals and objectives. Once he address questions like this through research as well as having the confidence of his subjects to extrapolate such information then the dialogue and discourse can commence on this topic in a more enlightened manner.

REAL age that is!

Wow, this is very true!
Living in Los Angeles is expensive. I couldn’t achieve a reasonable quality of life without help here on one salary alone & I find Sugar Dating tedious and unnecessary drama.
Also, most guys my age are still broke from uni, struggling to start life and move out of their uni or family's house. So just getting to two full time incomes is a stretch.  

Dear Steph:
As a mature GFE, would you say over the last six years would you see a lot of women who come from more mainstream backgrounds enter the industry? Also with several social and economic factors that have not been discussed as of yet,would you say that the average life of an escort is longer than it was say 10 to 15 years ago? Or would you say that it would be undetermined because the advent of the internet as we know it is still fairly early? Finally for those who are prescient and cerebral like yourself, would you say that those who are investing their money wisely in the markets by being independent contractors, would be able to set themselves up for their post careers after they leave the sex industry?  I just wanted to ask because you seem to have a considerable amount of experience as well as colleagues who are currently working.

I was actually married before I became a provider....divorced him because he wasn't working and got tired of it (so even when I was married, it was a single-income family). Made a hell of a lot more sense to do this (and now also have income from other companies I own/manage), then to continue to work two full-time jobs and never see my children. And as others have stated, there are many dimensions to "single" and "one income household"....how many men are unemployed currently and their wives are the only one's working (they're not considered "single"...just one person isn't working).  

Maybe I am missing what you are saying here...are you saying most men should feel comfortable with it? If so, why?

Over the years, I have known more than a few couples where the guy earns all the money and gives his spouse bupkis for herself.

On paper she looks like a well-to-do middle class soccer mom, but in reality she lives like she is in a third world poverty patch.

These are the kinds of things that the official stats miss, but which are a lot more important.

Personally, having busted out of two civvy marriages, a sex worker is the only woman I can imagine being in a LTR with.

and he's totally bound up in his prejudices about women who enter it.  Putting "all providers into a box" is exactly what he does with every post he makes.  Sad for him to live such a limited life.

But the rest of the statement is true.

I’m not making some declaration about how men (most or otherwise) should, or shouldn’t feel—or what they should or shouldn’t do, jack.  

More power to them, but I am NOT cut out for that shit.  

But perhaps they are one in the same.

A man being unemployed and his SO is working and supporting them.  

A gated community and one of these.. I can see your future.

If I ever go that route, I give you all permission to punch me in the face.  

a lot of providers who are married or divorced with children
