There is risk to allowing yourself to have any emotional connection--in or out of this corner of the world. There is also great potential reward. I've been hurt at times--sometimes badly--but some of my "hobby wives" have also given me some tremendous reasons to smile.
There is nothing wrong with playing it emotionally safe, but there is nothing wrong with rolling the dice either, though I agree with you it should be with eyes open from the beginning.

While the fucker might care for her, the fuckee could care less. Oh, maybe that makes the hobbyist the one really getting fucked? ijs

Your mindset has already convinced you (1) it will end badly, and (2) "she" is fickle, insincere, and looking to put a knife in your back at the first opportunity. A very self fulfilling mindset because you will then interpret every word and action in that light.
Are there insincere people in this corner of the world? Of course, of both genders. Lots of guys sweet talk a lady into OTC time and promises, with zero sincerity. It works both ways. But to claim all men or women here are that way is both wrong and also a very miserable, biased way to see the world.
I have multiple friendships that started as professional escort relationships that have lasted 10+ years, one going on 20. They have lasted as friends long after the ladies retired, married, etc. You come across as a rather bitter guy on this topic.
