Is a escort cheaper than having a wife or girlfriend?

So I was contemplating my life the other day and thinking how much I have spent on WG 's over the past 20 years or so and how I could have saved that money and perhaps invested it somewhere more beneficial. Lately, my average spend has been around £1000 a month, and thinking about it, It was actually getting me a little down until I spoke to a friend of mine who said to me that "Look at it this way if you were married or had a girlfriend it would be costing you much more. The number of times you would take her out on dates, holidays, gifts, and then having children (which most likely she would want). All of this plus more would add up to be considerably much more expensive than seeing a WG on a regular basis. On top of that, there would be less variety as you would be tied down to one person, and seeing a WG means you can change and see someone else whenever you want".

Obviously depending on how much you spend would determine your answer, but do you agree that a WG is cheaper than having a wife or girlfriend?

Well if that person becomes your dependant then I imagine it would be more expensive, at least if you have a shared bank account so I guess that would half of what you agreed wouldn't be just saved.

However, a lot of women are self sustaining because they have their own income. Personally, I hope to be a homemaker one day.

I like to tell myself that I would be down more money if I had used the money I'd spent on professionals for dates and stuff and that using an escort is making the best of a bad situation considering

1) No one is asking ME out.

2) Dating isn't supposed to be to have sex; it's for developing emotional bonds and god knows other methods haven't worked.

3) A date is never a sure thing. If someone was offering me a free meal I cannot promise I wouldn't just take it either and

4) I would rather my money was going to help some professional meet the cost of living or enjoy life than get a meal for someone who probably could have afforded it anyway.

We live in a heteropatriarchal society so if you're a man with no intentions to mistreat women, you're going to have a hard time getting some, even if you're friendly and not too bad looking. I know some guys take women home from clubs and stuff they have some kind of secret they refuse to share or something. When using an Escort, there is complete openness and all parties can walk away having gotten exactly what they set out to get. The patron has also supported a small business and the escort may even have enjoyed giving the service.

I find my own auto-eroticism sessions online very enjoyable so I prefer to keep escorting a once in a while treat, not a habit but it's a matter of personal preference.

I suppose I would spend more money if I were actually involved with someone but I cannot imagine being with someone who did not pick up the tab about half the time.

I have spent about £320 on escorts in my life and that's including travel costs. Ideally I could have developed a social network and had the social life of those kids on TV but that was never on the cards and so I see my patronage of professionals as getting back a bit of lost time with what I saved from losing it.

Naturally how you use your income is your prerogative and relevant to no one but you but this is what I have to say on the matter. I intend to "find love" eventually and there is nothing I am looking forward to more than spending tons of time with a little girl of my own while her mother supports us. I struggle to imagine being with someone who wouldn't allow additional people on the side and I certainly don't want to chain anyone to just me. I'd just feel guilty and under pressure so us both using escorts (and not even the same ones) strikes me as more than tolerable.

No one needs to "find love" though, unless by this one just means having people in your life that you're close to and won't leave you. It's perfectly reasonable to make a platonic friend or a sibling your life-partner and raise children with them. The necessity of romantic love is just patriarchal nonsense and we don't need a lot of people raising children.

This is everything I have to say on the matter and I hope I didn't go off track.

So this is everything I have to say on the matter, I hope I didn't go too off topic.

My wife has a £100K pa pension - I'll stick around a bit longer and use mine for punting and holidays

you dont need to buy an escort a house !

Anything is cheaper than a wife.

too true

what cost can you put on love ???

cant even imagine how much a wife costs...!

Well my husband (who is also on this site) and me are in a open marriage which is worth every penny and we love eachother deeply. We are not poly therefore not looking to add any emotional baggage therefore we both punt, works for us.

I would be a very expensive gf 😆

no doubt

If your wife is gainless homemaker dependant upon you, yes I suppose.

If your spouse makes more than you, no.

About as sad a perspective on life love And relationships as is humanly possible. One can hope your thoughts are a big joke. One would hope a gf...wife...partner...would offer friendship..care ..love ..companionship..and sex too. No issue with people seeing escorts..but it is for sex...but alas there really is more to life than that...there really is...how ever big your sex drive or cock.

not likely

you've not met my wife have you ?

lets hope not

on a simply hourly rate hookers are more expensive, but on a weekly rate wives are really expensive.

tell me about it !

very much depends on how often you punt and for how long I would say.

That math is easy! Hands down punting is way better VFM and a lot less headache!
