Paying an escort to spend time with you certainly doesn’t come with the same sacrifices as an organic relationship. And, unlike chatbots, “nerdy escorts” are real people who can provide human perspectives on things like AI, crypto and economics instead of just echoing back a tech worker’s thoughts on such subjects.

    Its funny how to many the whole concept seems new, but to me it’s just the topics and price range.

    Escorts, and strippers have been entertaining patrons with intellectual conversations probally for as long as the second oldest profession has been around.

        The irony of your comment might kill me.

        You know crypto doesn’t just mean coins… right? It’s a whole concept that applies to lots of things outside of cryptocurrency.

          That would be general purpose cryptography, and is never abbreviated to crypto.

            I mean, it was before Bitcoin came along.

            It’s rather like the hacker/cracker(defunct) thing.

            “Crypto” can encompass things that aren’t “coins” though—like land deeds. It’s just a protocol to secure & verify ownership in a decentralized way.

            My point is, the actual concept of it absolutely could be an intellectual conversation. Their confidently ignorant quip about what qualifies is silly.

      Ahh, I fell hard in love for a full 24hrs with a dancer from Miami in London Stringfellows a few decades ago… She had the looks and body of Grace Jones and was studying Computing at UCL.

      Nothing but admiration. I hope she graduated and has a fine career.

      Seriously. I actually did some male escorting for a little in college. It’s mostly just conversation. I can count the amount of times it was sexual on one hand.

    Got these people are inept. They are multi-millionaires and yet they still need to pay girls money to talk to them. If they were just moderately pleasant and approachable not only would they save $6,000 they would also probably have a nice life.

      Hey, now, these creatures are rich, not intelligent or empathetic. I’d bet 95% of them inherited their money or started off with a little $2m loan from their parents.

        Ding ding fucking ding. I know a guy who literally write the book on several things. Has a skillset that had Big Tech begging to headhunt him. Very, very, very smart and up there in the tech hierarchy on a woz-like level (keeping it vague because if i went into detail he could be doxxed)

        Dude is married, open relationship, certainly not lacking in the slightest for sexual partners . Because he’s a genuinely decent person and a great guy to hang around.

    How do i get in on this?

    I feel if they marketed AI better they’d get far more subscribers. Right now they seem to be focused on ripping off businesses which seems very short sighted.

    I’ll offer all my marketing insights for just 10% of all new subscribers under my marketing campaign! 😎

      A high end escort has a rare skill set. You gotta be a friend and a therapist, all while being attractive and comfortable to a range of personalities and environments.

      I respect the hustle.

      You can! Trick is finding clientele. I mean most careers really just boil down to your ability to socialize. I used to be in the legal industry for a time, and the absolute ineptitude at the highest levels was astounding!

      I knew one tax attorney who openly bragged that he made a full ass career of knowing 3 pages.

    This is definitely not new. Folks I worked with in SF went to parties where there were tech-knowledable escorts back around ~2010.
