As a younger man I observed much of what went on behind the scenes. I noticed that some guys would hand out money to stripper/whores like an ATM machine. That's why the girls called them 'ATMs."

....you have a one dimensional view
Furthermore, if anyone doesn't share that same flat dimension with you, they are a 'sap'
You need to get out more...

the second time today.  I have coached literally hundreds of millennial guys by PM on breaking into the Kgirl  scene.  Many of these guys had never had sex before because hey have no social skills.  Where there are good arguments presented from time to time for starting your  whore-mongering at an early age, and many of the guys here did, with these younger guys, its ALL they've got.  They don't know how to seduce a civvie woman into their bed.  Consequently, they fall in love with providers and become easy marks to get taken advantage of.  I wish I had a dollar for every PM I've gotten from young guys that got scammed because they didn't understand how they were being played and that the feelings they had for a Kgirl were not mutual.  She may be working a dozen other young guys at the same time.  

...Because of his life experience, he should know better.  Not for nothing is it said: "There's no fool like an old fool."

but it's also true that many of the johns really are lovesick "saps"

You're a riot...thanks for the laugh today  

Back when I started you either picked up a SW or went to a cathouse.  So it was less possible to fall for a girl, though one did for me.  Now, with GFE, they act like your girlfriend and some fools believe it.  It makes sense the percentage would go up.

I have had a lot of "real" relationships with hookers and I pride myself as being a pretty good judge when a girl is faking it or if there are some real feelings involved, but I will confess even I get fooled every once in a while when the sex just "seems" so off the charts and that ever elusive "chemistry" just seems so real and then she walks you to the door, kisses you passionately and tells you to be sure to call her booker to make another appointment. lol  

... not "pay 'em to leave"--assuming that's what you like to do?  If not... why do you care?

Are you by any chance a millennial?

...Al Swearengen's whorehouse in Deadwood.

I think you need look no further than mirror.

What are you, 75?  80?
Toothless.

If you see a bevvy of gals, all whom are good at GFE, then you can enjoy them all without worrying about falling for one since you wouldn't be able to select just one to fall for.

and all that rot.

Crap!!! If I knew that I was lonely, I would have gone to the asylum for some company.  

I fit this category. No social skills and a life with out relationships. I didn't have popular friends and was always lower middle class, so super hot chicks were never in my orbit. I always felt it condescending when pros acted too nice...too interested...It's disingenuous. That has never made me feel better being alone. It only made me feel more so. I always could attract big girls but never wanted them. I don't even see them. I turned to pros at a young age, because I'd rather bang hotties that fatties. I personally never felt connected to a pro because I knew it was not genuine.

They want somebody that's fun and comfortable to hang out with when they're off work and decompressing.  Often after several (or sometimes just a few) OTC dates, it evolves into FWB, but you should never think it's more than that.

If you don't have a page here with reviews of all the tricks you've turned...why in the phuck are you babbling as if you're some kind of authority on sucking cock?  Now what you do in your personal life sucking cock is none of my business...not that I'm judging.

It's an unintended consequence of the women's rights movement. Young women nowadays are taught to believe that they are the same as men. So they think they should fuck like men (who naturally want to fuck anything that moves) and spread their legs for anything that moves. Why would millineal guys want to settle down when the pickings are so easy nowadays (paid or unpaid). Smart younger women go with the flow and spread there legs for the boomers for cash.

Is it a lower rate to watch you poop?  How about if you watch me?  I can't really say it's one of the things I miss, but if it's part of a GFE package I guess having a little reality would make it more like the real thing.  

One of the magnificences of a paid play-date is that you (the gent) can ask for - and get - whatever it is that makes your day.  Whether it's snuggles or testicle-trampling or a good sweaty fuck, it's nobody else's business what your desires are, or how much you are paying for them.    

Rate to watch me poop same as regular rate with discount base on time. Sorry one hour minimum I do not do HH. Sort of no difference than to watch me orgasm. How you really know I orgasm or poop for real or fake?

...what OTM presented are the extremes. Sure they exist, but there is a lot of space in the middle for each of us to choose how we play and when and with whom. There is no one way to play.  

Who would want a good testicle-trampling is Mick, and if you wore stilettos, you might even get him for an upcharge.

Wait a minute...what does income level have to do with the attractiveness level of women? I was lower middle class, and I had hot women all over me.

Between job issues, divorce, mobility if families,  social media etc......people are more isolated than ever. So if this world m makes someone happier. Great. Wonder what it will be like in 20 years.

what the ladies themselves said about this topic on a few threads within the past week.  You were probably still in adult day care, and your kids hadn't picked you up yet.  I know they make you take a nap there and that's why you missed the discussion.  

Living & Loving.. Just do whatever makes You Happy,  I like the one or two hour, and Yes when I have the opportunity to spend more time, with someone, enjoying each others company,  I love The Las Vegas Nightlife, dinners shows, and playing Hostess  and making more real friendships too, whatever You the gentleman wants.. Watch me eat or sleep OK

an EXTENSIVE menu!   Everything is on the table except playing with poop.  

Its ok, It was hypothetical response. We agree for sure not into that. And I expect my time in the CR to be private always.lol.

they say, "I've fallen for a hooker and I can't get IT up."

For extended dates, they're paying for predictability, structure, discretion and someone who is experienced bcd. A lot of the feminine arts are things that are skills and for the regular civilian hottie, they are skills that aren't really needed to get quality dates in today's world. To find a high caliber woman with a similar level of comportment...well she's not likely to just give it up easy for any guy and she's probably going to want serious investment and commitment, which is where professionals come in. The idea of a woman with impeccable manners and a very erotic attitude is appealing to many men. That's why it sells.

I pay $100 extra for 3" heels, $150 for 4" and $200 for 5 inch heels. I pay more for the 5" heels because it takes real talent to stomp those things accurately.

I'm surprised by all the cynicism here.  This is true love.

The more things change, which is the first line of an expression, the second and final line of which is:  ...the more they stay the same.

A good GFE session can certainly put me in lust. There a few girls I've had a little nostalgia over. That is not the same thing as believing you have a real relationship.

....... till Melania.

...he's not the only one
One dimensional views are boring though on any level...

...I was in diapers then...just like you are now!!!

As a young college student, the temptation to provide is prevalent. This lifestyle is not as taboo as it used to be. I do believe that the culture of sex and companionship has changed. More and more individuals are hooking-up instead of remaining in long term relationships. Divorce rates are high, and many married baby boomers are seeking relations elsewhere. Since the current relationship trend is a constant stream of hook-ups,  we are seeing an influx of individuals seeking meaningful relations with providers. Possibly it is because mongers miss the real intimacy of women. I know that I enjoy my experience more if the monger is sensual and intimate with me. (I also just enjoy the company of older men in general).

The Cryptkeeper had his own TV show.   He was famous.
