I recently had a conversation with one of the associates from my summer stint at BB . We talked about relationships vs casual encounters vs escorts. Here is how he saw it (and it kind of made sense to me). Your thoughts?

Escort: no emotional baggage, you can always pick a gorgeous looking girl to bang (no matter how old you get), there is a diversity of them (more vaginas = better), they are always willing to please you

Wife: Emotional baggage, huge financial investment (on top of risk of divorce = 50 % of your $ gone), as you both age she will look less sexually appealing, withholds sex as leverage

Girlfriend: Kind of like wife, but at the time of dating she is hot and probably DTF more often.

One night stand: emotional baggage, she won't do everything you want to sexually, and it takes a huge amount of effort and time

He did acknowledge that some guys want a relationship which really means something, in which case they opt for a girlfriend. But, in his opinion (mine too), "upgrading" to a wife is pointless, because the passion fades, and you are left with a huge financial loss + exponentially decreasing amount of sex + the woman depreciates in terms of sexual appeal
