Overactive imagination?
Pillowtalk, if you are happy paying the dinner rate, more power to you. Perhaps they don't enjoy your company? I am very discreet and would/will never name names, but I have been to dine, or to a show, or seen a movie, and/or out for a drink with an SP countless times, before, after or in between paid fun time and never once paid a dime for social time. On one occasion, took a week long vacation in Caribbean for no more than the price of the trip and an hour of fun time each day, no daily/weekly or travel rates, another time it was a weekend in Vegas. As a result, those ladies have enjoyed repeat visits, in most cases (not all), good reviews and I hope, had a great time. I find many times that ladies who are relaxed and sociable enough for outings like these are also a ton of fun in the sack. Again, this doesn't happen the first time you see someone, or in many cases even the second or the third. It's the product of developing a good relationship with a provider, being a gentleman and of course, someone whose company they enjoy. You aren't going to click with everyone.
As I said, I have seen and will continue to see ladies who insist on payment for social time, but they won't get more than a booking for the hour of fun time. If I come across a provider mercenary enough to insist on payment for social time, who I do decide to see, often (but not always) the service is just as mercenary and detached. If ladies defend the practice, that's their right and I don't begrudge them that. Better to know the rules and how to play the game. It's then up to the pooner to decide who to see and not. It's a free country, on both sides of the coin.
