Is it reasonable to ask for a lower price for non-sexual service??

I have no issues with confidence, and I'm not 17. I don't know many 17 year olds that own their own business or have 3 cars. Neither of you know me personally, so I don't see how you can arrive to any conclusions about my personality or age.

You're exactly right, we can't conclude you are 17. But what we can say is that you are a business owner and a guy with 3 cars who can't get a date!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Thanks for not including me!

I don't have a problem getting a date, but you don't ask someone you just met to go with you to a wedding. I'm not interested in dating anyone here in Canada anymore since I'm moving very soon.

I'm also not interested in posting here anymore either. Too many cynical, miserable people with major issues.

Awww, please stay. I'll make it up to you. I'll buy your a beer at the strip club. That way we both won't have to go alone!

MG, I'm sorry, because you have already taken a lot of flak on this thread, but your responses on this thread would in fact, indicate you do have issues with confidence. Also, why is it, that whenever someone gets criticized on this board, their defensive response always has to do with their socio-economic status? Are income and status the only ways we know of to make ourselves feel better about ourselves?

Back to the thread at hand, I think MG has a legitimate business proposition to make, and I, for one, would be very interested if it is a proposition an sp would be interested in. I have wondered myself about the possibility of asking an sp to escort me to a social event escort or to pose as a gf. It is a remote possibility, but a possibility nonetheless. Luckily, I have a few sp's with whom I have built a rapport, and would feel comfortable asking one of them to do this, if ever necessary.

I have been to SC's plenty of times on my own, and in some ways, I kind of prefer it. With a group of guys, I think the herd mentality can take over, and you can't get to know a dancer quite as well. I travel a lot on business, so I eat a lot of meals alone, although I admit lunch is easier to do than dinner. Movies alone I haven't done, but I have gone on vacation alone. It is not something I strive to do, but it is not terrible either. At least you don't have to get into the daily discussion about what we are going to do today, and where are we going to eat...

mississauga_guy,

I may have painted an inappropriate picture of a typical TERBite, but I only stated my opinion. You weren't comfortable going to this wedding alone (I'll leave out the [edited] details), because it was a "social" event.

Many TERBites do TERB-like activities alone, because I think it stems from their ability to do, what you call social events, by oneself. Initially, it may start from business travel etc. as you have stated.

For me it also included travelling elsewhere, exploring, alone, on "vacation" (it was not Cancun, or the likes of that). Having met single female travellers, of whom I will never forget, I can only conclude that I have been profoundly changed by those experiences. And I will never consider typical social activities "odd", if done alone.
