Search Results: dating with stds

I've had a pretty hard year in terms of dating, and it's really made me feel lonely. So I've thought about either hiring an escort/prostitute or going to a legal brothel. I'd take every precaution to protect myself from any infection, but I'd really just like to be with someone - even if it's for money.

As long as I don't get any STDs, would this be a dealbreaker for any girls? I know it's sorta pathetic, but like I said, I've had some bad luck with dating and just think I need to do something like this to pick myself back up.

Thoughts?

There are too many "sensitive" subjects in the world as we know it. One TINY awkward step in a conversation can lead to a full-blown "sh*t test" from a standard woman that could last several hours if the guy was truly patient.

An example:

*Girl talks about parties, drugs, etc* OR the dreaded: "My ex had thermo-nuclear STDs can you help me out with whether I should go back to him or not?* types of conversations..

If I said something like: "Look lady, I'm not your therapist" I come off more of an asshole vibe.. If I ignore her, she's gonna sh*t test me.. And if I say that I "don't know" then nothing is going to come from that type of situation which benefits the fact of her dating me (if my heart were truly interested in her)

So... What do you think is the better way to handle those walking-on-thin-wire conversations? Further -> What's your thoughts against the poll options (what would be your reaction to each)?
