There are a lot of single Mothers having a hard time making ends meet that have a "gentleman" friend or two helping them out. This is quite common in lower income areas. I for one would never call them a prostitute. They are simply doing what they need to do to get by. Power to them.

How did they get to be a single mother? Poor choices? Poor choices doesn't excuse bad behavior.

No one can take advantage of you without your consent. It's on the guy if he's willing to do all of that for "pretty".

I think I'm most bothtered by the fact middle age men want to hook up with girls BARELY out of high school. That's like robbing the cradle. I guess it's a vanity thing for them. They want to be seen with a girl who is young enough to be their granddaughter. It's either that or they can't handle the brains and brilliance of a woman their own age.

You have to be one sad, pathetic man to pay a girl $2600 per month to talk. lol

Not all single moms become single moms because they made poor choices. Some became single moms because of circumstances beyond their control. I do feel for them. We have government programs in place help people get through unintended rough times. The majority of single moms I'm seeing these days are single moms because they made poor choices. They don't have any real plans or commitment for the future and then they add a baby to it. The rest of society gets stuck with the consequences of those poor decisions. At what point do we get to quit making excuses and call poor choices what they are..."poor choices"?

This has been going on for decades, this isn't new by any means. There were lots of stories about this in the 70s 80s and 90s. Now it's a bid deal? This also happens all over the world and isn't unique to the US. Any time there is a cost to do something or get something, people will figure out a way to provide some personal service to offset those costs.

You're right! That's because I want the 18 to twenty-somethings, who serve me at Hooters, to see me on a date with a young lady, their age - so as to subliminally encourage them to tap into the experience of this sexy senior. Oh, that's right - I'll be the one doing the "tapping" (as long as I... remember... to take my... Viagra...)!

Just thinking of Hooters reminds of their delicious boneless buffalo wings. I don't care what that doctor said about meatless diets maintaining mental health, in the January edition of the Mensa Bulletin - I love buffalo wings! And, I couldn't care less about the brains and brilliance of a woman my own age (whose body is probably as flabby as mine). Just gimme one those hot, firm little gymnast / cheerleader types (with all of that flexibility I like so much)!

So yeah, that pretty much sums-up my itinerary; take my hot young date to Hooters and do some eating - then, take her back to my place and do some more eating (aka "French grazing")...



Bwa-ha-ha-ha...
