A 24 year old, reasonably attractive woman hires a male escort to a dinner party and is universally praised.

I Hired A Male Escort To Attend A Dinner Party… Here’s What Happened

Body

I was recently perusing facebook when I found this gem. An Indian-American 24 year old writer has an upcoming dinner party to attend. She feels she's being pressured into finding a guy by her culture and family. She admits that she is both "perpetually single" and has a "penchant for dating unavailable men". While trying to find someone for this event, she considers her options; Tinder, picking up someone at a bar, or having a gay friend pretend to be straight. None of these appeal to her, so she decides to hire a male hooker. Sounds reasonable. /s

She sets her sights on Rent A Gent. She's looking for someone at least 6', light or brown hair, and Caucasian; your classic, cookie-cutter alpha. The agency is able to find her someone matching her tastes and Alec is set to be her date.

At the event, Alec is the center of the party. All the girls want him and all the guys want to know him. Her cousin's friend, whom she's had a crush on for a while, is made jealous. She feels very comfortable with her hooker and even starts to get some fealz for him. At the end of the night, he invites her to his apartment, but she declines, stating she wouldn't be able to forgive herself (she's a lady, remember?). As the night ends, Alec mentions that he's not going to charge her for the two extra hours he spent with her and she's left with only a $150 bill.

At the end of the article, she reminisces about the night saying, "I find myself missing the idea of the man more than I miss the actual man". Will she ever hire another hooker? "Never say never."

The comments are universally in praise for this girl's actions. They lament the fact that she didn't end up with this prostitute, as it sounded like true love.

My thoughts

Again, Elite Daily never fails to amaze and awe me. What the actual f*ck? There are numerous RP examples and thoughts in this article and I'll summarize those below, but first, let's just sit back and talk about this.

My first thought was "why does this reasonably attractive woman need to get a escort?" In my book she's a solid HB7. The truth is, she's probably had lots of decent guys ask her out over the years. However, the ones she was interested in weren't "available". Not being able to find an alpha that will stick around, and not willing to debase herself with the presence of a beta, she literally hires an alpha to accompany her to the party. That's right, she'd rather pay for a date than take someone less than her ideal man.

My second thought was about role reversal. What if you or I had wrote his article? What if we hired a hooker to attend a party with us? Would we be praised for this? F*ck no. A guy would be lambasted with insults and accusations of objectifying women. Also, those last two hours would most certainly have NOT been free and the total bill would be more along the lines of $1500 for an equally attractive girl. The hypocrisy is unreal.

Lessons Learned

  • A woman would rather pay for an alpha than date a beta
  • A woman may feel the pressure from her culture, family, and biological clock, but would still rather go after "unavailable" guys instead of someone close to her own SMV.
  • A woman craves the validation from her crushes and peers over a real relationship. A relationship is simply the means to this end.
  • A woman loves the idea of a man; not the man himself.
  • Women are capable of hamstering away even hiring a hooker and are totally oblivious to the apparent hypocrisy in this.
