Yup I can emphatize completely. I can just about get laid if I pay for it. Otherwise there isn't a chance in hell!
I gave up going on the pull a long time ago. Did the obligatory nights out on the pull when I was in my 20's. I was told by a mate at the time that the reason for my lack of success was that I didn't have the "killer instinct". It's not something I ever tried to develop or ever want to have. So that was the end of that.
The fact that I've a face made for radio and I'm a short arse - certainly don't help my chances. This coupled with a penchant for women way above my league - probably accounts for the main reasons I never was any good at 'pulling'.
Ironically I've no problem talking to women and actually have a number of good female friends. The one place I would be most likely to succeed in attracting some young lovely to sleep with me is at work. (I don't mean doing the deed at work but sowing the seeds, as opposed to pulling in a pub or nightclub). This is because I bring my 'A' game to work - am immaculately dressed , have a certain position and am good at what I do (which I think some ladies find attractive). However, work type casual sexual encounters can be very dangerous. People talk and I do care about my rep, plus I'd always run the risk of being accused of sexual harrassment should the 'casual relationship' go sour (as it's bound to in all relationships based on sex alone).
So escorting is God send for me!!!! I get to have sex with lovely gorgeous ladies that I'd never have a chance with in the real world. I have to pay of course, but
I'm sure it works out cheaper than trying to get laid otherwise. There's no bullshit - she wants, I want - both parties satisfied!
I reckon this should be the model society. People can get married for 'love' and when the sex fades, continue having paid sex and everyone's happy. A fantasy Utopia, I know, but one can dream.
