Good point. You have some very lonely clients who are paying women to spend time with them (hoping to find their "prize" wife) and then you have some SPs who probably hope that they can be swept off their feet with that one Richard Gere equivalent. I am not being critical either, the notion is great for a movie or a book but I cannot see a relationship working out having met through the biz.American Male said:The question that I would like to ask, in conjunction with this one, is how many SPs are hoping to find a man to marry as a result of their involvment in the biz? How many SPs want to be the real life version of Julia Robert's character in "Pretty Woman" and are hoping that the next first-time customer they make an appointment with is their Richard Gere.
I am not asking this to be critical of the notion. I think, for the most part, this is simply wishful thinking, but the idea is not without presidence. I seem to remember a couple of threads from earlier this year with a discussion of marriages between SPs and clients that are known about in the Vancouver community. If I remember correctly, most of them have ended badly.
However, the Pretty Woman Myth must exist for some SPs.
I do remember reading the threads that you mentioned, from what I can remember, there are just too many issues and baggage on both sides. As a client, I would have to decide why she is interested, finances ($) and a secure life to mind. As a sp, they would have to decide if they want to commit to a guy that may lack some self confidence. Long and short of it, it's a definate myth and wishful thinking, there are too many issues for things to work out in the end.
I say to forget the fairy tale and just be in the biz just for fun.
