To be honest I'm not sure it is necessarily only to do with escorts. Like I say, I'm a guy in my 40s and alot of people cant get their heads round you being single. Friends even,ask, dont you get lonely (no) dont you miss being in a relationship (no) etc etc. I'm sure its the same for younger guys aswell, this sort of thinking that everybody has to have a partner and that you couldn't possibly be happy being single. So you do sometimes end up justifying yourself (I also get it from younger escorts aswell by the way)
