How difficult is it not to hire four thousand dollar prostitutes?<\/p>\n

I know a lot of people who manage to make it through their daily lives without even hiring a two<\/em> thousand dollar prostitute.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

(Raises hand…) <\/p>\n

Four thousand dollars.  Four thousand dollars.  Four thousand dollars. Man…you’re telling me people who make the kind of money that can routinely buy a four thousand dollar fuck can’t find themselves a lover? \n<\/p>\n

Once in my life…once…I laid down with someone I wasn’t actually in love with.  I was in my twenties and at one of my first Pride Day fairs, and let myself get picked up by a somewhat cute-ish looking guy who turned out to be a complete airhead.  But I was lonely and I wanted to get picked up so I let him do it and it taught me a lesson because when we got back to his place nothing happened.  It took me years to figure out why because he was actually physically my type, but see my birthday post to a certain someone below because the answer’s there.  Sex with someone you are deeply, madly in love with just blows away everything else, and I was spoiled very early in life to it and I’ve wanted nothing less ever since.\n<\/p>\n

For four-thousand dollars I suppose she’s pretty goddamned hot but you know what…she doesn’t love you.  And…you don’t love her.  And there you are, with this big fat spectacular super-sized bank account that can get you her and you’re settling for second best.  Second.  Best.  At any price, it’s still second best and you’re an idiot.  A big fat rich idiot.  You could buy attention with that money.  You could travel the world.  You could find The One.  You have the means to make the feast of life happen for you.  And there you are, still scarfing down fast food.  And getting fat and lazy.  And ignorant.  Jackass.\n<\/p>\n

And doubly so if you’re married and still buying it on the side.  Idiot. <\/p>\n

If I had that kind of money I would travel the world until I found him.  But I don’t.  I have just enough to live a pretty comfortable middle class life.  I suppose that could get me a three, if not a four figure lay from time to time if I really wanted it.  But I don’t.  I don’t see the sense of that and haven’t ever since I looked into a certain someone’s eyes back in 1971 and after that day money could never buy what I need and I would give up everything I have now and wash dishes for the rest of my life to have my soulmate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
