There's so much generalization in this thread!
I've gotten to personally know several providers and observed others. No two are the same, but there are a couple of truisms:
- Like all of us, they are shaped by their life experiences
- Like all of us, life experiences make them better or make them worse
- Like all of us, they have feelings, emotions. The degree and type may differ.
- Like all of us, they want "the finer things" money can buy (like avoiding homelessness or avoiding low-paying mind-numbing jobs).
- Some may have a history of abuse which may influence them.
- Some may be working to provide for their families or kids.
- Some may work just because they want a Mercedes.
There are so many variables.
And, like providers, SBs are in it for the money. Sure, there may be a mental/emotional attachment, but I'd wager it's certainly not as strong as the financial one.
I can think of at least two providers I've seen who, IMHO, would make good companions (SB). They were real, down-to-earth, honest, genuine. And I can think of a couple of others who were hooked on drugs or booze (not good candidates for SB).
Providers may become jaundiced because of their clientele (or because of abuse earlier in life).
But it's not fair, IMHO, to lump them all together.
Another option is an affair with a married woman (sites like Ashely Madison). Somebody
else is already buying her stuff. But those relationships can be demanding because she's probably looking for something other than sex: She wants somebody to want her, to pay attention to her.
But one part of this discussion amuses me: An older guy with an 18-year-old SB. Good grief, how do you get her to leave her skateboard and come to the bedroom? Or does she bring her skateboard with her? "Skateboard position"? And what sort of conversation can you have? Justin Bieber and Lawrence Welk comparisons?
Over-generalization isn't valid, and that's why there's so much discussion in this thread. Who wants to be pushed into a generalized mold?
