Spend your money on escorts to come over and watch horror movies with. That way you get the best of both worlds. Sure beats a hair cleaning fetish.

At least the latter provides more enjoyment. But I guess there is no point in collecting them forever. Old Blu-rays are being replaced with 4K and all that, but my flat would end up with too many boxes. I have nearly every top ten film in history (no lie, I even know the papers with the gross reports), and buying a top 40 collection could be costly and pointless.

I could just stream them, I guess. Why waste £150 or more on somebody that may or may not make me feel like a dork? It's a sad reality, being autustic and lonely, but having so few people to give me the time of day.

This is why hobbies feel pointless now. Years of pouring knowledge of bands and films and games into my head, but then people being like, "Oh... he's a nerd with no life".

It's a life nonetheless.

As a fellow autistic person myself and an introvert as well, I can assure you there is no inherent shame in that. It can get lonely not having any real-world friends, but if you believe in God I'd suggest trying out a couple of churches, and seeing how they treat you as a person. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone who has faith possesses a self-righteous or "holier than thou" attitude; the folks at my local place sure don't. Its just a suggestion; do with it what you will.

Since this is a Blu-ray.com forum, I will say this. Can you imagine how many BDs you can buy if you used your money for that instead of a sex worker? Heck, you can probably get yourself a nice 4K BD player with that money!

Not hardly. The best you could probably do is get an LG or a low end Sony 4K BD player. The average cost for sex workers is about $200.000. Now, sure, you can get a lot of BDs with that. Bearing in mind they're on sale. Otherwise, you'd probably be only able to get 6 or 7. It's a common misconception that paying for escorts/sex workers is expensive. When it's really not. In fact, it's about the price for really good massages. In some cases anyway. And the price never exceeds $300. Mind you, that is for a hour or two. Of course, you will pay a pretty penny for an overnight, but who wants that?

You'd be surprised. I see women gloating about their overnight bookings on X and what the sugar daddy sorts and "simps" paid for them, all the time. Along with bragging about what restaurants they went to with their clannish circle. That's okay for some. And if anything, it helps to build up a status for their ego.

In fact, some even want a tribute through a money app or a gift wish enabled platform first before they will even decide to give you the time of day. Although to be fair, they just want to deter the sort of people who commonly muck them about. Time is money, as they say. And sometimes they have lost earnings because somebody didn't turn up, ghosted them, or whatever. So I suppose they incorporated that rule for this reason.

I think it's half and half, though. Them being wary of morons and them also being pretentious, and greedy to the core. Because you need only look at their feed on X full of whining to get the gist of their personality. It's usually rather narcissistic. But at the same time, who the hell covers the cost of their catering, clothing, hotel bookings, and whatnot? So maybe they should be appreciative of the simps that shelled out all of that dough to begin with.

But think of how many BDs you could buy for $200. And $200 seems kind of low for a sex worker. I imagine you would probably get low quality, rushed service for that price.

At one point, I had nearly every horror movie to make at least 1 million dollars in rentals. Some of these films did not reach the top ten chart as used in Variety and so on. I generally, as a rule of thumb, only buy top ten films. For example, I could enjoy a No. 11 movie, but it misses the mark.

Now I do enjoy horror films, but if you watch a movie once and just think it is okay, there's no point in hoarding loads of them. I just think if you collect stuff to an excessive degree, you'll take up a lot of room in doing so. But I guess being able to show them off is cool.

But if I find I am aching for foof that much, I'll just go to a sauna. The women are quite chatty, and it's generally cheaper. What's good is, you can sit in the lounge and try to talk to them a bit in order to get the gist of what they're like before you make your selection, where they'll lead you to a room and get you to wash up first. Are they pleasant in the lounge? Are they looking or sounding bored, or annoyed? If I'm going to be forking out £130, I want a well mannered lady. Not someone going through the motions.

Online, you don't know them from Adam. And scams and bullshitters run rampant. Yes, really. Despite the fact there's money involved, you'd be surprised at how picky they can be. This can be for any number of reasons. They are proceeding with caution. They are idiots. They are able to pick and choose. Whatever it is, be prepared to have a plan B. And don't bother trying to talk about your taste in music, or any of that pish. They're not remotely interested.

But yeah. Escort sites are as bad as extra recruiting sites for the film industry. They just *KNOW* horny cucks are going to fall over like athletes fall over that forgot someone tied their shoes together as a prank.

"Sign up now to star with Kate Winslet!" I just love the way they carrot dangle, when your sole purpose is really just to be a living prop. Then you sit around like a bored dummy for 6 hours, just to get herded around like cattle on the set. It's just fish bait for the easily manipulated. Screw Harvey Weinstein, and people just like him.

Smart fridge. Only $2000. Plus $100 in tax.

Wanna see yourself in the final cut with Leo's love interest? Fingers crossed. Good luck.

Glenn Frey was on Miami Vice once. I like the video for "Smuggler's Blues".

Not at all. $200 will get you about an hour or so and it never feels rushed. How much time do you need anyway? An hour is plenty of time. I don't believe these dudes that say they can go for hours. An hour is perfect and plenty of time.

Not at all. The time is about an hour or so and it is not rushed. But then, you are hiring an escort. What are you expecting it to be? It's not a date. You paid to sleep with them. WHAM, BAM, GOODBYE. Generally speaking. Some people pay an escort to come over and just talk. You get out of it what you want to get out of it. You're in control.

Well, thank God I've never hired anyone to have sex with me, because in reality I could never separate the emotional aspects from the physical. I believe that such a union should be an expression of love that already exists, not a search for it otherwise.

Why do they write all that spiel on their wall, upload eye watering clips and bait you in with their content, when they're usually not gonna commit to doing half that crap with you, whether you beg to splash out more dosh for a meet? It's not even that I berate people for subscribing, as such. It's just that you may become a sub, really just to be used, laughed at, and kicked to the curb. When I could be following some woman who, despite being a sex worker, has a bit more class, I would happily do so. But it's still a 'do it at your own risk' kind of thing, as they are much too venomous personality-wise, in my view.

Pay for your porn.

Yeah. Sure. But I can get it online for free. So why pay?
They do it because they want to make money. It seems to work.

Not suggesting everything you say is right or wrong. I'm just giving my perspective on the whole experience since I DO have quite a bit of experience with it all. It may be different for other people and for other situations. I've just never found there wasn't a connection or that it was always a WAM BAM situation. In my experience, it's the random FREE hookups that are most often WAM BAM and no connection.

Just cold doing it and be done. But again, everyone may experience these things differently. I probably should have said that and been more clear. I apologize for that. I will try harder to be more careful with my wording and not rush to post. Thank you for this. I don't alway see what I am doing until someone points it out. I greatly appreciate that.

You're also gay. That would logically mean that your experience is with other men. That's something that should be noted that I don't think has been.

If you don't let it bother you, why'd you start this thread? I don't need an answer. Just giving you something to think about.

What I meant was, that I am used to how they are. So, yes. It can be irritating, but it is best to not show them it bothers you. Because I think they enjoy having a superiority complex.

I still don't get why they block someone on social media just for basically leaving a comment. It's not like you were trying to waste their time. But what is so social about X anyway? People demand attention, then when they get it, they're still not happy.

I cannot grasp that concept. They're just too narcissistic.
