Business has been booming for this particular escort.
An escort has opened up about why she believes many men choose to pay for her services instead of engaging in traditional dating, which has become increasingly expensive.
The cost of living crisis has affected nearly everyone, forcing most to limit their spending to just the essentials.
While you might think professional sex workers would fall into the category of non-essentials, it turns out the reality is quite different.
Katija Cortez, a 28-year-old escort, has noted that her business is thriving more than ever.
Many of her clients have confided in her that paying for sex is actually cheaper than maintaining a girlfriend.
In an interview with News.com.au, she explained:
“They tell me that once you add up wining and dining over multiple dates, gifts, and then also the cost of their time that it takes to do all of this – it all adds up.
“When you see a sex worker, you can see her as often or as little as suits your schedule.
“I doubt that many girls that these men could date traditionally would be happy seeing their man for only one scheduled hour a week.”
She also pointed out that seeing her requires less time from them, which allows the men to work longer hours and earn more money.
They do this without feeling guilty about neglecting a partner because they can still fit her into their busy schedules.
Katija further mentioned: “Men these days are all about working smarter, not harder. Relationships are hard work.
“Whereas for less hassle and apparently less money, you can get all the same things you get out of a relationship with a sex worker, just without all of the commitment.”
This might come as disheartening news to the hopeless romantics, but Katija added that men “don’t think how women think.”
They have conducted a “cost-benefit analysis” and have determined that “seeing an escort turns out to be a much more financially viable decision.”
She continued, “Almost every single one of my clients are doing this cost-benefit analysis and tell me that seeing me is exponentially more beneficial to them, their time and money, than meeting a girl at a club.”
Katija also pointed out that many of her clients, who are “CEOs, entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors, and financiers,” have little time to invest in dating due to their demanding careers and thus prefer not to be distracted by conventional relationships.
Finding ‘the one’ is challenging enough even in the best circumstances, and online dating often leads to many wasted evenings with people you find you have little interest in.
She believes that these factors also contribute to her booming business, concluding:
“People are just too busy working, theyβre too busy trying to make money and guys are just over dating.”
