I don't have a horse in this race, so you're not offending me. And unlike all the gorgeous gals who are coaching you on this thread, I don't mind a nice, sincere compliment. By the way, looks are the first thing I notice, too--that isn't just a hallmark of manliness. However, when I don't know someone, I am focused on learning their other qualities (besides their looks, which are already plain to see, no pun intended.) Having dated some extremely handsome but vacant-headed men, I know I need more than good looks to keep me interested in someone.

But maybe you don't. If you view women as nothing more than sexual beings, an adornment on your arm, admit it to yourself, and seek what you actually want. Forget the rhetoric about meaningful relationships and the nonsense of vine-covered cottages. You won't need to argue with the gals and guys on PC, and you are more likely to get what you really want. What is it you really want? If you primarily want sex you might want to develop a 'relationship' with someone whose business is selling sex. Normally I wouldn't encourage men to use women that way, but if you're dealing with an adult, non-coerced, independent contractor (so to speak) and not some terrified, drug-addled girl forced into sexual slavery doing the work to support her pimps, then you can come to the sort of terms you and she can live with. One of those terms might be that when you are with her, you are always right.

If you want to use the online world to advertise for this gal, you can write your ad in ways that make it clear what you are looking for and what you are not looking for, something like "Financially comfortable man looking for attractive woman between 30-45 (busty blondes preferred) for mutually satisfying relationship. Drug and disease-free; you must be too. I like to dance, sky-dive, and juggle knives (or whatever your hobbies and interests are).

Now, my sample ad skews a little older, and you might be pouting about that. But there is a reason for that. I do not suggest you advertise for someone much younger than 30; you could probably go 27 but I wouldn't go any younger, for two reasons. You will still draw responses from younger women who are self-employed and, and more importantly, you will be more likely to find the woman who has made a considered choice to do what she is doing for a living; one who is not being exploited either by a pimp or by her own poor thinking processes due to youth, addiction or grossly disordered thinking. I'm never going to advocate someone exploit someone else. And old people who prey on young people are looking to exploit them, that's a fact. So even if you get far younger responses, man up and don't seek to exploit them.

I actually think the older end of my suggested age-range would be best for you; as she ages towards menopause, you'll be aging into old man dotage so that even a 55 year old woman will be a young cookie compared to you. If all you are looking for is a pretty woman to sit across from you at the dinner table, as long as the going rate is met, I'm sure you can find an escort to share the tiramisu with you. And if you want dinner with a pretty woman and the horizontal mambo as dessert, you can find an escort for that too--and just become a repeat customer. Simple, neat, and you know what you are getting. I hope this helps.
