I don't think anyone on here is particularly deluded. There is sufficient information on UKP to put that theory to bed very quickly.
However each punter is allowed to choose his fantasy world. One may choose to fuck like a bunny for an hour, another mix it up, another stop for drinks or a chat. Maybe, just maybe another chooses to imagine that for an hour it's a real girlfriend. Doesn't mean he is deluded, he is paying and chooses what he intends to do with his time. As long as when the door closes and he is back to civvie life the clock is set back to reality.
I think a lot of people on here are very much deluded. There is sufficient information on UKP to bring that theory to life, not least this thread.
What one imagines in a fantasy world is fine, but to care what a WG thinks about us is different. You are paying to fuck them, not because they like you, simple. Most of us do this because we are too old, too ugly, lacking confidence or otherwise fucked up in the head to go and pull one of the thousands of civvies desperate for a shag at a local bar, club or anywhere else. Those who don't fall into this category who simply enjoy the convenience and flexibility of fucking random girls without the bullshit, wouldn't care what they think of them.
I speak for myself, as well as others so not having a go at certain punters, but a lot of people need a fucking reality check. They talk shit about us, and we talk shit about them because we need to fuck and they need the money so its one of those relationships that works on economics but fails on most other levels.
