Why Guys Hire Escorts (Besides the obvious reason)

One of the most interesting things you’ll hear after talking to escorts in Vegas is how much their typical client varies.

Something that always fascinated me is how prostitutes are some of the only people who can seamlessly float between different classes and environments.

An escort can be in the most expensive suite in Vegas, surrounded by millionaires, and nobody blinks an eye. The next night, that same escort can be hanging out with some regular guy who is just in town for an aluminum siding convention.

(Yes, the same escorts see both groups. I have an article here explaining how there’s no such thing as high-end escorts just for wealthy guys)

So, why do all these different kinds of clients hire escorts instead of just picking up women at a bar or on dating apps?

Based on my own experience and my countless conversations with escorts, I’ll give you the top reasons guys pay for escorts (besides the obvious one).

1. It’s Instant

This is especially true in Vegas, and it’s the fact that escorts and prostitutes are instant. You can contact an escort from a review site or find one in a casino, and in less than an hour, you’re both in the hotel room together doing pretty much whatever you want.

Picking up civilian women (“civilian woman” means a non-escort) or using a hookup app is easy, but it’s not that fast and easy. With an app, you have to go through profiles and wait for people to respond back to you (if they do). If you’re picking up women in a bar or nightclub, it generally takes a majority of the evening to find one, and that’s assuming you’re successful.

With an escort, you can do whatever you want for the first part of your night, then just call the escort to top it off.

There’s really no other way to do this unless you’re some famous musician with groupies always waiting around for you in every city.

So, for the average guy, escorts provide that instant gratification that most guys only dream of.

2. There’s No Drama

These days, guys can pick up women in a lot of different ways. The easiest is probably using apps where most people are just looking for short-term hookups.

But even in those situations, there is drama involved. You usually have to text back and forth with whoever you’re hooking up with to set up some kind of rapport. Then when you meet, you both pretend it’s some kind of “date” even though you both know it’s sort of fake.

After a while, you end up with all these women on your phone or DMs, and it leads to drama and weirdness.

We all know that one player guy who hooks up with women from apps, and although he’s never dating anyone full-time, he’s always dealing with some kind of female drama. Either it’s texts or calls from women he hooked up with, or they’re following him on social media and causing trouble.

Whatever it is, if you’re hooking up with a good number of civilian women for short hookups, you’re going to have a lot of drama attached to it. That drama is also work. You have to respond or deal with texts and other things.

Overall, it’s just a lot of work if all you really wanted was the sex. With an escort, there’s no drama (usually), and you both know exactly why you’re in a room together, so there’s often less “fakeness” than using a dating app for hookups.

3. They Leave in The End

This is the classic joke that goes: “You don’t pay a hooker to show up, you pay them to leave”. That’s sort of related to the previous point in that when you’re done, she happily leaves, and you’re totally fine with it.

There’s no awkwardness or weirdness. If she was hot and you had a great time, maybe you wouldn’t mind her staying, but if you have other stuff to do or have to catch a flight, she simply walks out the door, and you’re right back to your regular life.

For guys that travel a lot, or have their own business to attend to all the time, this is extremely valuable. They can’t afford to get bogged down with civilian women in different cities who want to talk or meet for dinner so they don’t feel like a “hookup chick” after you had sex.

4. The Variety

Dating women on apps or meeting them in person provides some variety. But it’s nothing like hiring escorts.

With escorts, you can pretty much get exactly the type of woman you want, when you want it.

We’ve all been there. We see some woman with a certain trait, and that suddenly becomes what we really want. Maybe she had huge breasts, or maybe she was very petite and fit. Whatever it is, you can then go and find an escort that perfectly matches what you have a taste for at that exact moment.

When your taste changes the next time, you can find a different escort that fits what you want.

When you pick up civilian women, you can sort of target the kind of woman you like, but there’s still some randomness. You can’t always get exactly what you want, right when you want it.

With an escort, whatever type of woman you want that day, you can get it. And you can switch it up every day of the week.

5. The Excitement Factor

Even if you’ve done it a 100 times, getting an escort still has a certain excitement factor to it. Whether you hire a girl from a review site or pick up a casino escort, there’s an unknown to it all, and that creates anticipation and excitement…and a little risk.

Believe it or not, escorts feel the same way. I’ve talked to countless escorts, and besides the money, they get addicted to the excitement and risk of seeing new clients.

The fast money. Meeting a stranger. Going to new places or events. It becomes addictive after a while, and it’s hard for them to go back to a regular job.

For clients, a lot of that holds true. There’s always a little nervousness when picking up an escort, and that adds to the fun and excitement, especially when you’re in a new city or place.

It can turn a boring vacation into one you’ll remember for years.

It’s Not All Perfect

This list just covers the positives of picking up escorts in Vegas or in other cities. Obviously, there are plenty of downsides and risks too.

But, if you follow the advice I give here on the site, you can avoid many of those problems and have some of the best experiences when visiting Vegas, or even a place like Tijuana.
