When referring to females who do not provide for money, why are they referred to as civilians and we are referred as providers?

Fact of the matter is, that if we do keep the current standards of "Provider vs Civilian" then I am afraid we have no choice but to put you in the Provider status as it currently stands......
While companionship is multi-leveled, there are distinctive guidlines when it comes to nomenclature distinctions....... As Pyro so bluntly put it, once you accept money, you have just become pro and therefore a provider....... Sorry....... websites, wage-scales, and other items as such only further confirm this reality......
Just as any profession, there are many levels or ranks of the profession...... whereas a sugarbaby while in essance is getting paid for services rendered, they are viewed on a much more casual scale which would put them more as an adjunct (provider) moreso than the providers on this board...... And then for some, there are the live-in GF, Wives or SO's that in many cases provide little or no services yet take massive amounts of money.... We call them Non-providing Black Holes!
While the moniker of "provider" may seem as though it is a less than desireable one, it is in fact a most favorable colloquialism as mentioned by our man boardman...... As for most men.... the greatest service provided by a lady.....well...... 2nd or 3rd best I suppose..... is that of simply walking out the door and walking away until we have need for each other again!
I hope this helps clear things up for you....
