my last three relationships were with providers I started out as a customer with.  Providers are pre-conditioned to work with the man's schedule, not the other way around, so it is a much better place for me to be able to balance my career and my sex life.

when there is a 20+ age difference, there is almost always a financial component involved, whether the woman is a provider or a civvie girl.  Its a trade-off for the woman.  Do they want a guy their own age and a full time job outside the home, or are they willing to be with an older guy who can give them an easy life?  For many, its a no-brainer.  Speaking of a no-brainer, that's what Johnson got.

or is your topic a complete autobiography

I don't think I'm that unusual, but as a Regionl Manager for a manufacturing company from age 26 to 36 I traveled the US and Canada extensively (on expense account) and had many, many civilian gf's over that time....  at least a few dozen. We dated, were lovers, and things ran their course until we went our separate ways.

You and I know that the only place a dude with no game is gonna find real love is at a strip club!

You don't seem to understand why guys do this. Perhaps you could dazzle us with your intellect and tell us why you do this?

I pay them and they don't love me?  How can that be? Are you sure?
I was sure she ment it when she said "I love you".
Are you sure?

Let's see. I've been offered two outside relationships, one offer of marriage, several offers of overnighters otc, breakfasts, lunches, and dinners otc, free sessions, several thousand emails, vms, and texts otc, random otc just because, and an array of desserts after the main course, all otc. My last escort actually said 'I love you'. I've had one helluva ride here on TER. One doesn't have to be Prince Charming. Kindness, humor, loyalty, and dependability work wonders.  

Exactly!

Everybody believes a braggart. The way hookers chase you I would think you could get the sex for free from civvies without having a relationship.

LOL. When I saw your subject line, I honestly thought you were gonna say the common thread was both individuals in Maxwell's picture are dead. I have a bent sense of humor.

Was lost in translation. His own remarks are inside the quote, at the end of Tubbo's.

A better question than " why do YOU do this" might be ..." uhhh , who are you , again"....lo

We'll thank you later?  I think not...most of us play the game as it unfolds, and adjust accordingly.    Most of the guys here have their own unique perspectives and experiences.  Same with the ladies.  My advice to you...do the same, listen to what others say, and evaluate according to your own unique perspective.  No need to criticize others unless they ask...

Men and Women have bartering chips.  For men, it's their ability to do things physically and provide security.  
For women it's their pussy.  

based on what I've read and my own experience.

The more insecure a woman is, the more her need to CONTROL you and what you do with your dick, the more her "Lack-Of-Worthiness will boil up and over when she doesn't get her way.

Because it's a cheaper release than a wife and with the money he saves he can buy a bigger and badder scooter? One with extra flags!!!!

It's clear that you're the smartest, savviest, most perceptive, insightful, knowledgeable and wise commentator on the TER discussion board. That's a tremendous accomplishment!!

Please make sure that the next Star Wars movie doesn't copy The Empire Strikes Back, like the last movie copied A New Hope.

it happens more than you think.........had one fall for my husband......didn't end well for her.......he didnt feel the same obviously... she took exception to that...and as far as experience, im sure the majority of the men here have tons of it, they just chose not to waste it on women that are not.
