"What's my name?...well what do you want it to be?" ;-)

Ok, so the above line has been semi ripped off from the film Pretty Woman, but it highlights an interesting issue about the psyche of men that use prostitutes, and the fact that they seem so uncomfortable with reality....many of these men really do live in their own little bullshit fantasy worlds, and I think nothing illustrates this better than the reviews that are posted on the many escort sites.
I am not going to name any names, but I recently had a review posted about me on one of the most popular Irish Escort Websites by a very prolific reviewer. He stated that I was a "beautiful looking lady", but yet he found our "encounter" to be a bit "robotic".
Hmmm...ok then Patrick*...so you found our encounter a bit "robotic" did you? Well, let's examine some possible reasons for this....

1)You are an unknown male that walked in off the street and paid me, YES, I REPEAT PAID ME to have sex with you. I am NOT your girlfriend. I don't find you physically attractive and if you hadn't paid me €250 I wouldn't even look at you let alone screw you.
2)Our encounter was not one engaged in for mutual pleasure due to mutual attraction, it was on my part, and that of all the other ladies doing my job engaged in for no other reason than financial gain. If you, or any others like you actually believe otherwise, then I think you need a serious reality check.
Even though I appease your male egos by smiling sweetly, kissing you goodbye, and making all the right noises, it doesn't change the fact that all you and your friends are to me is a monetary transaction. My sole objective is to get you back again and spending more money...brutal, but true.
3)If you want more than this then I would suggest that you stop being so frigging lazy, and get a REAL girlfriend. Oh I forgot...you can't, can you? That's why you are a serial prostitute user.

I notice that you are an established client on one of the more prominent Irish escort sites, and that over the last three years you have clocked up a total of 80 reviews posted about different escorts. This means that in the last three years you have shagged approximately 2 escorts per month, in total 80 different women...and then written about the encounters online for all to read...you really must be one sad, and dysfunctional individual, and in dire need of getting something that's known as ..A LIFE!! Apart from being extremely distasteful, this is frankly just not a very nice way to interact with your fellow human beings now, is it? Paying women to have sex with you, and then writing about it online afterwards? And especially slating them for not being "interested" or "responsive". As I previously said, men like you hire the escorts for pleasure. The escorts are only letting you through the door in the first place because you're paying them, and for a variety of reasons they need the money. That should tell you all you need to know. They sure as hell wouldn't fuck you for free. And there lies the difference between "sex" and a "transaction" between escort and punter.
1)Sex is a mutually enjoyable, consensual activity engaged in by two people that like each other because they want to. It isn't hard to find, and involves REAL affection and intimacy.
2) A client/ escort transaction is the payment of money to another person in exchange for a very well polished ACT of intimacy and affection whilst providing sexual services. It isn't genuine, it's all fantasy and as soon as you're out the door it's forgotten...until next time you want to come back and spend more money of course.

Never mind Patrick, you may one day figure out how to actually form a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship with another human being. You may meet some sweet, needy, nubile young thing who has never worked as an escort and still sees the best in people....just make sure she doesn't see all those reviews you posted. But most likely, as with the majority of other escort users, you will still continue to use prostitutes for the simple reason that ...YOU CAN.

And as for the quote from Pretty Woman at the start of this post? Well, It basically means you can be anything you want to be or anything you think someone wants you to be. Either way, you have to watch who you're dealing with and what their true intentions are.
