However, the numbers are what they are. There are six million fewer men in their 40s. And there are three million more women in their 20s than a decade ago, and these women IMO are less likely to have the moral objection to taking money for pleasure that older women had. Furthermore, this nation has seen $10 trillion of wealth go poof in the last three years. So the trends (more women, less demand, and less wealth) are all squarely against the old HDH model.1) "less demand" -- I'm not so sure...I think is it "more supply" -- as you've acknowledged yourself in earlier posts as a result of the internet/message boards/review sites etc. what used to be a rare find at $2k is now widely available for $500....
Almost every wealthy man I know has had to be a good judge of value. IMO when a man says, it does not matter to him how much something or someone costs, he is being polite.
As I said, I have the opportunity to dine with smart and beautiful women and get paid for doing so, and I suspect that I am far from the only man able to do so.
One time I was dining with a woman and the waiter for some reason took 30 minutes to get the bill. That the woman expected to be paid for this time was pretty annoying. In fact, I think it was the last dinner date that I had.
I know some men like having the most exclusive women by their side at public events and are willing to pay for it. I am not one of them.
The rationale for paying a woman a few hundred dollars an hour to attend an event was based on the fact that the woman could make the same money BCD, and she opted for the event instead. One flaw is that many men like myself could make that money working too.
I was glad to see that some women here have accepted that reality and embraced the concept of the clock free night. There should be different rates for time spent BCD and time spent enjoying fine food and drink.
Using the SB model, men now are able to get clock free nights already. I am glad to see some HDHs acknowledge this and offer up a rational alternative. Originally Posted by woodyboyd

3) as for different rates, BCD/nonBCD, although we all know the score here, that kind of flys in the face of disclaimer paragraph they all have about "all monies paid are for time and companionship....."
