Would you date someone if you were paid to do so?

Commercial 'Escorts' term this 'the girlfriend experience' and 'yes' you're the 'sugar daddy'
a variant of the Daddy Dom /Little Girl fetish. That 60's hippy maxim: "ass, gas, or grass... nobody rides for free":. The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves~

There's this WONDERFUL observation by the late Robert Heinlein, in the intermissions of his "Time Enough For Love":
:
"A whore should be judged by the same criteria as other professionals offering services for pay — such as dentists, lawyers, hairdressers, physicians, plumbers, etc.
Is she professionally competent?
Does she give good measure?
Is she honest with her clients?

It is possible that the percentage of honest and competent whores is higher than that of most other professions."...

With nothing intimate, that's just hanging out. People will pay to hang out? I would do that. They're either just lonely or a pervert, but either way I need practice building relationships. Would be beneficial to both of us. Done. Easy.

Honestly, if it was just something normal like a dinner at a restaurant or whatever, then sure. If someone is dumb enough to pay me for it, ya. If it starts getting sexual or uncomfortable, I abort the mission. Bye bye, sweet money.

Women see that there's a market of men willing to pay to date them so they do.

To answer your question, no I would not.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

No. I would not.

That’s not a date. That’s a transaction. Nothing wrong with it, but a date implies there is some possibility of a romantic relationship.

[horatiohornblower]

It’s just prostitution. As new tech becomes available people find creative ways to avoid law enforcement.

[humanearth]

No that's fucking stupid, I ran across some like that. They didn't even care that I was married

[Fireguy17]

I wouldn't pay, it is easy to find a regular date.

[dustybiker]

I’d rather ride my bikes.
