How is it more expensive to have a GF than to pay for sex with escorts?

I thought you were looking at it from a financial perspective. But using hypothetical situations to support your point makes it seeming like you are grasping at straws on this. Life isn't all rainbows and unicorns. I would take the potential BS (is it 10% likely the vacation will be ruined by taking a GF or 50% or 80%?) that comes with taking someone who wants to be there over the 100% certainty that someone is there only because they are being paid for their company and as such needs to put up with any annoying tendency of mine because I am the paying customer.

No I'm looking at it from the opposite of finances. Generally I think of money last when I think of cost, time is much more valuable imho, especially time well spent. %'s are largely based on the people involved, I couldn't give you figures. Personally the "why" company is with me doesn't matter as much as if it's good company or not. Not too certain what rainbows and unicorns have to do with anything.

Ya, but you are having sex with the same old boring female...variety is the spice of life!!!ound::clap2:

Yes, it's like having the same food everyday. We all like to spice it up.

This notion that a girlfriend costs more than a SP is rediculous. It is not like the guys who see SPs are hiding in a hole the other 99% of their lives when not seeing the SP, and in that 99% of time they are spending allmost as much money as they would in a relationship (possibly even more if they are into the party lifestyle). Guys on PERB like to say that because it lets them rationalize their activities, but truth is they are simply not being honest with themselves.

For most clients visits to SPs account for a few hours a month at most, few people with regular jobs could afford more. Compare that with the 100+ hours a month you would spend with a girlfriend in a relationship, and it is clear where the value lies (if you like to account for those sorts of things in life that way).

I don't doubt that there are a few women out there who demand much more, but the overwhelming majority of normal women don't require the kind of massive investment that some of you guys seem to think. If it turns out that most of the women you get involved with do require that sort of maintenance, maybe you need to re-examine the sorts of women you are pursueing and why.

Key things to look for to see if she is GF material

1. If she says " find someone to take care of me" - OH OH game over for you mister.
2. She is willing to eat at Vancouver's Chinatown- you may have a keeper
3. She is a facebook addict without many repeat poses of herself where she looks all the same in every pic- not a good sign
4. 1st time she cooks for you tells you to do the dishes and also say next time you cook- you will be dating a girl who you dont want to bring home to mom.

I hear this comment often from guys here on the board and I just don't get it. I have been in a relationship again for the past few months and got to thinking about the subject. We both have busy work weeks but manage to find time to have sex at least once during the week and at least once on weekends. So we are probably having sex around 3 times a week.

She spends a couple of evenings each week at my place, sometimes overnighting and we ususlly watch TV or a movie or just talk. We go out on the weekend but she insists on paying her portion. We worked it out that one of us pays for the entire meal and I probably pay 60 to 70% of the time. Anyhow, if I had to pay an escort for sex as often as we have it, I would be spending 5 times as much as I do now. I could not even imagine the cost for those who pay for an escorts social time as well.

you pay for it either way......

The last few years I hardly dated at all and just saw sp's once or twice a month. I always had the money to do pretty much whatever I wanted; travel, go to strip clubs, buy expensive toys, etc.

For the last year however I've been in a serious, monogamous relationship. At first she was working but then decided to go back to school. I haven't been paying for school but have still racked up nearly $6000 in credit card debt and struggle to pay the bills each month.

Sounds like your lady is at least contributing to the financial ends of things.

Really? I think it's fair that one person cooks and the other does the dishes. Whether I cook and he cleans or he cooks and I clean. That said, last time he tried to clean and I didn't want him to.

I agree, however, I absolutely despise doing the dishes... and nobody wants to eat my cooking every day!

I meant the very first time a lady cooks for you she should make the best impression. I know If I invited a woman over for the 1st meal at my place, I would do everything.

Everything has a price, be it financial or emotional or both. I don't mind the financial, and I don't mind the emotional, but either way the cost can be easy to stomach no matter how high it is as long as the person is nice about it. But if they're mean about it, that's when any cost is hard to bear.

If I anticipate that the person I'm mixed up with is going to be mean about it, then I'll get my pound of flesh up front.
