I don't really understand why guys allow themselves to become emotionally attached to prostitutes. It's a road to nowhere. They have a different attitude towards men, and any relationship they have is disfunctional at best.
I got to know a girl years ago which is a classic illustration. She was very pleasant and helpful on the surface, but her character underneath was a real contradiction. This happened long before I even seriously thought of punting, or even had any idea what was involved, apart from the obvious. She had a good degree and a professional job, but had strange views about men. Very feminist, and would fly off the handle at anything that could be even slightly interpreted as misogyny. She also had an apparent low opinion of men, although I got on quite well. Always wore expensive clothes and was hardly ever seen wearing the same outfit twice, even at work. And she was absolutely ruthless in her dealings with other people, never did anyone a favour without expecting something back immediately. Her personal relationships were really off the wall. She was engaged to one guy who did a runner just before the wedding. Also kept getting involved with business people who abused her verbally and probably in other ways too. You could hear her having a shouting match down the phone with them sometimes. All very odd, but the light dawned when it emerged that she was also a prostitute when a case came up in the newspapers involving a politician. She ended up having to leave her full time job. I asked her one day what the whoring was actually like, and she said it's like working in a vets practice with all the animals coming through and having to cope with all their foibles and shit everywhere. That spoke volumes to me. She saw men just like animals needing attention, and treated them accordingly. I think the vast majority become like that before too long. They get to see men too close up in the wrong circumstances and it warps them irreversibly. My encounters with them since as a client has reinforced that view tenfold.
