The gentleman who wanted to meet you as a friend may have been a kook, or he may have been someone of intelligence who wanted a relationship with a beautiful, classy female for conversation. He may have wanted companionship with unconditional acceptance of him without any
comittment on his part. I assume he was willing to pay for this time with an intelligent female partner. Men are efficiency oriented. They want to do things in the easiest and fastest way. In the movie the Stepford wives the woman would do everything in their means to please their husband both intellectually and sexually. The female would understand her husband and strive to meet all of his needs such as sympathizing with him and appreciating him for everything he does. A courtesan is a person paid and/or supported for the giving of social companionship and intimate liaisons. A courtesan is (should be) more more respected by their extramarital companions. The internet has allowed men to meet respectful women for sexual pleasures with minimal committment. These women are more like the courtesan of days past as they have class along with their skills in the bedroom. Hopefully the entertainment fee charged by the escort will weed out the trash who are unable to appreciate the opportunity to meet someone interesting and entertaining with no comittment except for the financial arrangement.
Over the years I have met women in the profession that I would pay for social companionship because of their willingness to make me feel relaxed and accepted. I must admit that it helped that they met my sexual needs. I have always been thankful for these women who have helped me satisfy a need in a fun, classy, professional manner.
