Are guys really this stupid...?

Not that I would know from experience, but w/ prostitutes isn't it by nature their job to tell you what you want to hear, do what you want them to do?
I mean, is IT really that good that you would buy her houses, go in debt, or risk your marriage/family over and over again?

Granted, I know its the guys decision and she is simply offering a service... But what is it about these guys that think for a second she has ANY interest in them?

I guess the idea is these are desperate, lonely dudes who don't like being told no, so the only way they can get that from women is to pay for them?

Anyways, I know stuff like this probably goes on just about everywhere... but its just odd to imagine that guys could be this glib or this naïve and stupid.

SHE'S A PROSTITUTE!!!

Yes, men really are this stupid. Baffles me

[–] jrock2310 9 years ago

I mean... there's not one sensible guy on the show that thinks - 'oh she's just a prostitute. she doesn't care about me.'

then again, I guess the you have to be wired a little different to even entertain the idea of call girls.

^^ Women are even worse that they prostitute themselves like this! Hypocrites too, most of them.

Oops, don't want to generalize against all women, do I? That would only make me look stupid, to generalize against an entire sex...

Wouldn't guys this rich be able to pick up women on their own? Just go to a bar, drop a couple thou on champagne and cocktails and women will follow you home, buy them a gift or drop some cash on them and why would you need to go through an escort service - unless the women are drop-dead gorgeous - which these two aren't.

[–] jrock2310 9 years ago

what's really the difference at that point? at least w/ an escort there's probably a level of discretion that you can't get w/ some random chick.

*side note: im not trying to justify an escort over a fling... but as you said, someone w/ money... this is probably much easier and discrete and less time wastey.

Of course, this is completely my opinion and I have nothing to base this on as I have never bought or sold sex. I honestly don't think it's as simple as "being stupid." I think doing those things is what makes an arrangement like that quite complex. Whether we admit it or not, as imperfect beings we tend to look for perfection in others. Men that are married or in a committed relationship that go outside of it are looking for that elusive perfection or to put it bluntly, fantasy. The fantasy of walking into a house and seeing a gorgeous woman (whether you pay her or not) that runs and jumps on you with glee because she's happy to see you is a hell of an illusion twenty-five years post-honeymoon. Think about what they're getting: Sex when they want it, how they want it, with whom they want it, not to mention the other little bits of fantasy that go with it. They have someone interested in their jobs,(even if it is pretend)their highs, their lows, their failures, their successes and no one to spark that fear in them should things go badly. If anything, a woman like this only bolsters their confidence. Hell yes, he'll buy a house for a woman that makes him feel as if he owns and operates the world.

The other side of this coin is that women also seek out a living fantasy as well, but when we come to terms that it is indeed only a fantasy, we resign ourselves to reality. We realize that bills have to be paid, food has to be bought and children (if we have any) have to be fed, housed, clothed, and educated. We acknowledge the fantasy, file it away in our Happy Place folder and get on with it.

no, I agree. its crazy because it is as we stated - fantasy.

but what gets me is... its not even a real fantasy. its a replica of a fantasy. a real fantasy would be if that were everyday life and you didn't have your ACTUAL life to live.

a real fantasy would be if the beautiful woman actually wanted to you and cared for you and only you.

but the reality is, she probably is grossed out by you once she leaves. of course she appreciates the business... but most everyone who has a job hates aspects of their job. but w/ a job such as hers, she has to sort of bite her tongue and go w/the flow, sort of speak.

I just can't justify that reality knowing that someone is merely acting out fantasy versus actually living out a personal fantasy.

And see, I believe this is where your question is really coming in...remember that quote, "who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?" I think it's the same with fantasy. Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding you, but I think the wording is tripping me up. For me, fantasy is fantasy. It's not true. It's not real. When you say acting out fantasy versus living out a personal fantasy, I'm a bit confused. Maybe expound on that a bit more for me.

I guess by "personal fantasy" I mean reality.

in essence, if you hire a prostitute... I couldn't in good conscious enjoy it because its not real.

now if said woman (prostitute) came up to me w/ no strings attached... that to me would be a personal fantasy turned reality.

she would no longer be a prostitute, it would be real attraction.

don't know if that helps at all.

I don't think all "John's" are that stupid, imo I think that the men with money find that an escort is less messy than a girlfriend. She is beautiful, she is up for pretty much anything sexually and she is completely there for the guy - her feelings/troubles/personal bullshyt do not exist like a real girlfriend. So I could see why a rich man would rather deal with a call girl over a girlfriend. Imo they see it as more efficient, so that wouldn't make them stupid.

[–] Kompressor_Fan 9 years ago

These are all very good points you raise. But....I think the "stupidity" they are referring to is in the ones that actually, really fall in love with one of the women.

[–] luvslegolas 9 years ago

Men do this because they can get a young beautiful girl that they couldn't normally get without there being strings attached or being psycho or wanting love..... they're safe.... discreet.... clean... drama free... and the girl will do anything they want them to in bed.... and they can just bang them and leave.... $2,000 is nothing to a rich man......it's better than doing a $100 hooker and risking disease....

[–] emo_ville2002 9 years ago

The main reason why a wealthy man would use a call girl/escort service....as opposed to picking up a street hooker or a random woman they would meet at a bar...is the level of safety and discretion involved, thus, the escort's high rates.

The problems usually start when the man tries to 'save' the woman from her supposed sordid life...he starts to care for her etc. Granted this probably doesn't happen very often in real life, especially as the wealthy men who frequent high end escorts usually don't always see the same woman every time they see an escort....these men are paying for variety. If they wanted the same predictable sex...wouldn't then be at home having sex with their wives or girlfriends?! 

I do tend to laugh when I see films, or a TV series, depicting these so-called powerful and intelligent 'captains of industry' falling in love with their escorts...we see them buying them homes etc. It's utterly ridiculous to imagine these men being so powerful in all the other areas of their lives...yet turn into jelly around these escorts. The Asian man with Christine was utterly pathetic.

Usually, in real life, when a very wealthy married man buys a woman a home or an apartment, it's for his mistress, not for a random high end call girl.

The mistress usually doesn't start off as an escort, she is usually a single woman the wealthy man meets through a social situation, she might even be someone he actually works with. He then starts cheating on his wife and then they start having an affair. The fantasy of an escort having a wealthy man buy her a million dollar plus apartment/home is just that a fantasy.

I'd recommend that both men and women get a good education....when people who've skated on their looks and sex appeal have nothing else to fall back on.....and have depleted their money, how can they support themselves the rest of their lives?

I see this dilemma for Christine....right now she's young and she thinks she's smart and in control....that she's figured out a way to make quite a lot of money...i t doesn't appear as if she wants to complete law school....she has set up her own online sex business and was seen talking with an accountant asking how to hide her money etc....once her looks fade, then what? Her arrogance is laughable.

And how on Earth did she buy that huge apartment for just a a million dollars?!  The million she got from the Kirkland law firm settlement. IIRC, the settlement was only for one million.

High end Chicago real estate is just as expensive at Manhattan real estate. Talk about a fantasy!  That apartment would cost much more than a million. Even if Christine only put a down payment down on the apartment. Her earning power cannot be guaranteed....she can get arrested etc. She seems to think she is planning ahead, but in reality, she isn't.
