Those things are independent of outsiders opinion of you. Fucking a girl because you paid her doesn't matter to the girl, but it should matter to a man that wants to master himself and grow.
He pays with money. You pay with time spent in the gym, time spent seducing a woman, time spent out where nothing happens (sunk costs that have to be factored in to the "cost" of a bang), time spent exchanging game times/learning game, a bar tab here and there.
I don't do p4p and never have, but the man makes solid points and he completely changed my view on the subject.
Everyone pays. It's just a question of the currency you're using and the cost.
Everyone pays, one is on the part of a monetary transaction.
The other is because you're a man of skill that doesn't have to with money and her seduction happens because you're a man of value that she wants to sleep with. She's giving herself to you.
All this cost per bang bullshit, "factor in how much you spend on a girl with dinner and drinks or just pay her a hundred"
There is much more at stake than someone's money, there's your inner sense of worth. I think of it as having some damn integrity.
I've paid before and I wish I never did because MY sense of value was lowered.
I'm not hating on the guy, if he's happy doing that great, that's his business.
But I do LOOK DOWN on someone that does that.
What's more rewarding? Conquering a mountain or walking up a little mole hill?
Sure, you can say "American women aren't worth conquering"
And most of the time I'd agree, but wherever he's going the women most certainly are.
He pays because he HAS to pay. And I find that route to be the easy way out, and a way that I would never recommend to a friend that wants to get comfortable in his own skin and become what I am calling a
Sovereign Alpha.
I've mentioned it in another thread, but I believe a man's happiness is tied to what I believe are 4 dimensions, and he has to do them all in tandem.
Having social interactions that lead to sex is one of them.
I'll have an article introducing the concepts out soon.
The you pay anyway argument isn't recognizing key distinctions.
