Would you pay any of these men for sex? Link

In a recent poll forty percent of Brit ladies said they were willing to pay men for sex and escort services. That is a pretty high percentage and I have to say I'm not one of these ladies. I can't say that paying a man for his company does it for me. Going from the look of these men, there's nothing I couldn't get for free down the pub on a Friday night. So why go to the effort of paying £300, for the services of one of these men. Looking at the men in the article it doesn't even look like these women are paying for men that are out of their league. Now even that I could understand. Women it seems want to be more and more on a level playing field with men, which is fair enough, but there is some things we don't need to do everything men do.

To get an secort could be handy for career women, who have functions to attend. There seems to be a hige stigma attached to single people, the biggest one being, what is wrong with you? Why can't you find a partner. So to avoid this, it can be nice to take someone. To pay for it though? Couldn't they just get their friends to go with them? According to the article, some women just pay for the company of a man. Regardless of the sex, shouldn't it be about the person? Shouldn't they take the time to meet genuine people, and build up like long friendships, instead of paying someone for a few hours company. I really don't see the point.

I call these women strong career women. They can't be that strong though, if they are not capable of holding their heads high, saying 'yes I am single', and being proud of it. Instead of going to the extremes of paying someone. Making a seedy meeting, and then arranging the date. There just seems to be something sad about that. Are we really turning into the nation that doesn't want to work for anything and just pick up a phone and have anything delivered to us. Some things are worth working for, to me that's part of the fun.

Interesting article. Sorry I passed it earlier.

>> There seems to be a hige stigma attached to single people, the biggest one being, what is wrong with you? Why can't you find a partner.

I am single, at age where I should be attached. That's the way the world views single women - something wrong with us.

IN some book I've read, the same reason was given by men who get female escorts - just to talk to them, not necessarily to have sex. It is sad, when you need to pay someone to have someone to talk to. But in busy city with ambitions running high, it seems that is the way things have become.

It is sad. I think these women just plain ran out of ideas, sick of hearing that tired old question, that question "Is she married" whispered yet loud enough to be heard. Talking in a group where the women seem to be showing off their husbands and saying things like "You need to find someone to share your life with" constantly, or at least insinuating it that your life is worthless or you will become some kind of social deviant without that other. (Yes, I've experienced that once. This woman said to me, "You need to find a man in order not to end up like that old maid over there" yap. Very rude.)

I don't know if I would do the same thing, I suspect not. I think people know when you pick up an escort for a date and it would just make one look all the more pathetic.

I know, god knows why!

It's the way the world is...and yes it's very sad.

"You need to find a man in order not to end up like that old maid over there" yap. Very rude.)


It's sad we think like that. It is nice to have someone but it's not everything, we should be happy with ourselves

Agreed. Thanks for the comment
