I suggested that test as a measure of social acceptability. The point is that a FUTURE girlfriend is likely to accept past cheating, but unlikely to accept past use of prostitutes. If you can't see why that's relevant to a discussion on which one is more socially acceptable than I don't know what to say to you.
If you ignore the feminnazis who hate it whenever a male enjoys vagina and the hard core religious set who think that sex should be only between a husband and wife or a priest and an altar boy, I would think your typical female would see a single person who sees prostitutes not as a moral slime but as a looser, as in, look at that looser, he has to pay for sex.
So when a woman turns down a guy who when single visits prostitutes, it is not a moral judgement and thus your point is wrong.
That you would assume it is, and based on what you have said above, you seem to have some real negative thoughts on the whole prostitution game ethically speaking, and if you had a internal moral compass you might want to stay away.
As to if they would prefer a looser or a cheater, I would hope most would prefer neither. Granted in your fantasy life you obviously prey on women with no self respect who tolerate cheating, but I would expect more from a gal, or at least I would if I were not totally hard up and desperate.
More importantly
Even if your typical female thought prostitution was morally objectionable, that does not make it so. Your appeal to the thoughts of the masses, or your perception on the thoughts of the female masses is rather irrelevant. Further more when you are claiming your typical terbite should not judge because they see prostitutes, to be considered a violation of some double standard should not their views on the ethics of prostitution take front and center.
Is prostitution morally bad. No. End of story, my conscious is clear, let the judging begin.
Cheating on a wife is breaking your vows. I could see it if she effectively withdrew from the marriage but I seem to recall that is not the case in your fantasy life
Using deception to get laid in the manner in which you do makes a mockery of informed consent.
It boggles me that you would put these actions on the same moral plane as a fully voluntary commercial translation with no victims, unless you are playing a dom that is.
And are you really defending hypocrisy. Seriously.
