In high society, it's practically fashionable to show up escorting a lady, and those ladies are often paid escorts. I imagine the ladies also have male escorts to lead them as well. |

If by hanging out with someone of your preferred sex you mean talking sci-fi and playing games and watching 90s and early '00s shows and cartoons or movies and just geeking out followed by food and potentially sex, I'd call that a date, not a paid job. |

Well, if you were short a person for LARPing and had some money to spare...
That's essentially their job; they get paid for time. How you spend that time is up to you, but they're not above just hanging out, from what I've read at any rate. |

As an adult I've found I'm one of the most boring men around, and if I can't get more than four women in my life to go for that sort of thing, it's not worth paying one to sit around to smile, look sexy, and be absolutely bored. |

Personally, I wouldnt go for the whole escort thing, because I am a nervous wreck around strangers, especially women I barely know. Sure, I may look like I'm handling the situation perfectly fine on the outside if it were in public. But I'd just be losing my mind... in my mind. In the privacy of my own home? Nope, it'd be a total mess. Stroup also brings up a valid point. I don't think I'm any bit more entertaining a person. And I sure as hell would prefer someone be having fun if their job description entailed not making me feel bored/lonely for XX hours. I dunno, I guess part of me would consider it if it meant being able to hang out with someone of a similar mindset of my own. But if I wanted that, I've got at least two lady friends within a few hours of me that are pretty much free for hanging out at their house any time of the waking day. Definitely a 50/50 topic, here. |

From what I've read, escorts basically offer...what was it? A "girlfriend experience", or GFE for short (they apparently have a lot of acronyms for the services they provide) so regardless of what they really think of you, they'll still look sexy and be interested. XD I swear, this topic's starting to make me feel like a pimp or something. Maybe I shouldn't have looked into this TOO extensively. XD |

Can't say I would, much as giving money for someone to spend time with me seems like a nice thing for them if they're in a needy position. Many people don't ask to be in that position. Some genuinely want to make a living out of their company being enjoyed. I'm a nervous sort around strangers, I'm pretty awkward, and honestly if I were in a position where I became a ball of raging hormones and wasn't in a dedicated relationship I'm pretty sure at least one of my friends wouldn't mind helping me out. I'm not against casual sex or the concept of friends with benefits, as long as everyone is aware and accepting of it. I might have been judgemental about this sort of thing once, but I'm trying to improve my attitude. As long as it's safe, consensual and discussed fully beforehand. |

I'm so glad we have a lady on the forum to diversify opinions a bit more (though I'm not denying that they aren't diverse already). Thanks for being around, Hedj, that was a really nice response. |

Her opinion doesn't sound overly diverse on that, at least not anymore I guess. But she really should stick around more than a few times a month or two. :P |

I just felt her response, particularly the last sentence, really resonated with me. When I was in...oh about Junior High all the way to early college, I was incredibly judgemental about people's personal lives; I used to get bent out of shape when I saw someone smoke and there were times where I would passive aggressively show them how I felt, with a nasty dose of holier than thou attitude. The concept of homosexuality was something incredibly disturbing to me, but that's partially because I grew up in an environment where representatives of it were doing it wrong (it's a little off topic, but I can go into mundane detail about what that means, if you really want to know). The point is, it wasn't until I became a more permanent resident of the internet that I started becoming more open minded, plus growing the fuck up has that effect on you too. I mean, it's their lives, who am I to judge? What right do I have to tell people how to live their lives? |

That's pretty much the same timeline I had and for the same things... except I still get annoyed when people smoke around me and still get passive aggressive more often than I should... |

Hm. Haven't really thought to pipe up here since I didn't have much of an opinion one way or the other. However, I'm of the opinion that hiring an escort is up to a given individual and that I have no right to judge them one way or the other. I myself probably wouldn't do so, but that's half because I'm miserly with my money most of the time, half because I'd rather spend that money on things I'd enjoy for sure. I guess it chalks up as an unnecessary expense to me, not necessarily something that's good or bad. It's not like I'm socially awkward though. I can and have held conversations with the opposite sex before, even one or two that's been on a one on one basis. Granted, if I start thinking about them as a female rather than a person, I'd probably trip up faster than a robot that just got hit with a logic bomb. So yeah, at its base it's that I don't see it as good or bad, it's just unnecessary to me. |
