Whores are usually into more lucrative deals. A prostitute will only get x$ per act. A ***** on the other hand is generally looking to seal the business transaction (ie. marriage). Marriage will entitle her to alimony, community property assets, potential child support which can all be very lucrative. A lot more lucrative than going to school, working 9-5 for it. I honestly don't blame these women for doing such. If there is someone stupid enough to marry a gold digger, more power to her!

Of course, me being a man I never pay for sex because I do not support any forms of prostitution. I don't buy a woman ~anything~. Women have sex with me either for the pure pleasure of the act or because they think they are going to hook me. It is like giving a free sample. They give the free sample because they want you to buy the product. I take the free sample and run unless of course they are offering more free samples Also I am very militant about not paying for sex in ANY way. I don't pay for sex because it is degrading to my male ego.
And what a pleasure it would be, I'm sure.

A prostitute runs a business. Her client base runs from a select few to plenty, but it is a business first and foremost. On the hourly/high volume level - she may not be very selective. On the upscale/low volume end she's more selective. But no matter how wonderful the man may turn out to be, if he doesn't have the money he is not going to get any of her time. And the gent clearly has no problem with her being with other men.

A sugarbaby is essentially what the traditional "mistress" used to be. It is usually a man providing for a woman outside of his marriage. There is an overtone of entitlement. What a sugardaddy provides is more for the right to exclusivity and availability while compensating for the lack of a solid and open future together. There is also more room for emotional growth because of that exclusivity.

Neither are morally sound. But I see a big difference in the basis for and type of interaction. Your thoughts?
Would the term "golddigger" work better for you?

What I was seeking (and still prefer now) could be considered somewhat provocative, because I don't want a commitment and I prefer successful men. But it doesn't equate to being a sl*t, hooker or SB. None of those forms of companionship is for me. I can't fake interest, don't want to keep up with several men (I'm very selfish with my "me time") and I wouldn't like the overtone of entitlement that comes with having a sugardaddy.

Though, I can see where someone with my preferences would find being with a married man convenient; meet once or twice a week for lunch/dinner, have some private time and send him home. A married man won't expect all of a gal's time and he can only go so far with the relationship. But there is a relationship. All of that is perfect for me, except for the wife and kids at home.

We know most men prefer pros for the same convenience. I tend to wonder if that is a perk for pros as well, besides the financial benefit, because is it more fantasy driven. She sends him home and doesn't have to deal with him on a daily basis, at least not until their next meet, if there's even a next meet.
So let me get this straight, the reason you're looking for a "successful" man is to get wined, dined, and hmmm 60..nined. While with a with a less financially stable man, you'll just get hmmm 60..nined?

If this is a temporary hook-up, why even bother with size of the pocketbook...I'd change my measurement criteria.

A sugardaddy is typically a older guy who keeps his prostitute on call by supplying her with money ,gifts and housing,so when she is wanted she is obligated to go or do on demand.Ala Anna Nicole Smith and all the other women who shack up or marry a guy for his wealth.

A prostitute otherwise performs a service, gets paid and leaves......

A prostitute cannot afford to be selective because she's "doing the deed" for money and needs that money to survive and get through the day. Emotional attachment is at a minimal.

A sugarbaby can choose whom she wants to be with, but she usually chooses to be with someone who is more stable and perhaps has greater wealth. Sugarbabies can and do become emotionally attached due to the exclusivity that the partner provides in terms of money or gifts.

A prostitute can be selective. You don't have to hump everyone that comes knocking...

I don't want a commitment right now, that doesn't mean it's temporary. And why should I lower my standards for something that is temporary?

You're not asking me why I want to be with a successful man, you're telling me. Box thinking. I won't stop you.

There are women out there who make $1K for TWO HOURS worth of work. I'd say they're making it though the day just fine, so they can pick and choose. No doubt there are some scraping by.

Ehhh? That depends entirely on the prostitute. Some high dollars gals/escort services are VERY selective (remember Eliot Spitzer?).
