Hi guys and gals. I hope everyone in our fun hobby on both sides of the aisle is having a happy fourth.
I recently had a provider tell me that "95 percent" of her clientele is married. Now, the fact that a significant number of hobbyists--and even most hobbyists--are married is not shocking. I was a little surprised at the number, and I trust this provider's math.
I am single. I have been divorced over 20 years now and never re-married. It's hard to believe I am one-in-twenty.
I do "date," y'know ... that may lead to an authentic relationship. I think I'm relatively well-adjusted.
If I ever did get married again, I would hope that I would find my intimate satisfaction within the bounds of my marriage. Obviously, a lot of guys don't, and hey, I'm not condemning.
As a single hobbyist, yes, I DO get some love triangle just in the normal course of relationships that are not "professional." I'm not an ogre.
Why do I hobby? As a middle-aged man, I still love being with good-looking women. I'm not interested in going through all the bullshit at a bar or club, when I know what I want. I think most of these "bar flies" are hypocrites. They claim they want to be "friends" when they are playing court jester in a bar, but hell, they are looking for the same thing I'm looking for. I'm just more direct in how I want to get it.
I suppose most of my appetite is satisfied with a limited "sugar baby" relationship. She is not a provider and I do not totally support her, but you know ... kind of "grocery money" and we are "friends with benefits." I do not have the means to be a total "sugar daddy." And yes, I admire you guys with unlimited funds that can hobby several times a week. I would if I could. When I go to the pool, I get driven crazy looking. No, I can't look at a Playboy Magazine and immediately stand at attention like I did when I was 18, but I stay about as horny as when I was 18.
So, as a single guy, I'm not Brad Pitt, but I'm not Frankenstein's Monster either. It's not that I can't get it any other way, but hobbying is the most direct way to satisfy my needs. AND as a single guy, it's nice to not have to hide from a wife or a girlfriend. I can do what I want, whenever the hell I want--funds available, of course.
Are single hobbyists few and far between?
Any other thoughts on any of this?
