I wanted to bring a guy with me to spite my cousin, but there was no one in sight: I currently am not dating anyone seriously, and the only male friends I have are gay or straight and taken. I live in No Man’s Land.[...]I’m straight-up worn out from hearing, “You’re pretty cool and smart, so why can’t you find a guy?” Society condones asking women questions like this without stopping to consider how they feel.Well, I wanted to f*ck with society. I wanted to change the rules. I reached a point where I was so bored with my love life that I was willing to try anything once.If I was going to do this, I was going to do this right. So, on my own volition, I dropped $150 on a male escort from Rent A Gent. Yes, you read that correctly. I rented a gent.[...]I’d never fallen for a guy like Alec, but I found his lack of complication intriguing. His confession that he wanted to get married someday (as we sat among many afraid-of-commitment Millennials) was refreshing. I don’t know if it was the alcohol or the fact that he was unavailable, but I fell in love for the night.“I’m just your project,” he’d joke. He had a point. Though, later on, the thing felt so natural that I forgot I’d hired someone to pretend to love me.When the party died down, my cousin pulled me aside. “I’m proud of you,” he said. “You found someone who deserves you.”There it was: the validation I’d always craved. It was ear candy. It was a kind of acceptance I’d never felt before, and its impermanence didn’t detract from my satisfaction.

No big deal either way, and no one would flip out if the genders were reversed. This is a non-story.
Here's the same site criticizing men who have bought escorts, broadly denouncing them as "not real men".
But really why would a man become a prostitute out of desperation instead of a criminal like the large majority of other men?I'd like to see a study on that. Because stripping and whoring yourself out is a woman thing.

This isn't anything new with him.Some tumblr-tier journalists have shitty opinions. Is this where I'm supposed to be defending them? Double standards are trash, and prostitution/escort services are a non-story, male or female. Just because Turkey linked some retard liberal news sources doesn't mean I have some obligation to agree with them.
Quote from: Yu on February 07, 2016, 10:59:30 PMRegardless of the reporter and hired person's gender, it would still be a story about validation, anyone who can't see that is too stuck on gender equality shitUh, no. It's creepy.

That doesn't make a difference. The fact is you're paying a prostitute to pretend to be your boyfriend/girlfriend for validation. It's pathetic and creepy.

Why exactly do people need to feel validated?Are they so insecure that they need someone else to tell them how great they are?
Female journalist hires a male escort and feels "validated"
