Hey I will do a lot for money but I draw the line at crypto.
Even one billionaire is a policy failure.
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.
And they say the rich are good with money.
They are just waiting for the Tesla bots to become life-like enough at this point.
Sounds like something a complete loser would do.
So, Elon.
Did they fund this article?
Yahoo finance: Craigslist personals for the unloveable.
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.
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.
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.
are they really that elite if they have to pay people to talk to them? idk
That’s how these lonely bigoted dorks with new money think being rich and powerful and cool works - overpay for whatever you want and force others to give it to you, with money you gained through slave labor, destructive practices, stealing from future generations and corruption. They think might makes right, so yeah, they think they’re elite for paying people to pretend to care about them when they’re not on stage or social media or in a board room.
That sadly seems to check out. I suppose they see themselves as somewhat too good to talk to the common person, so paying someone to talk to them is a privilege for them. Never mind the fact that once you give someone money they are going to change their attitude towards you in hopes you give them more. I wonder if some of these folks have ever had a normal conversation that didn't involve some scifi shit. (I love scifi)
I think the whole thing is self-selecting. People with social skills usually are able to get on in life without having to resort to becoming tech billionaires.
I know that sounds odd, but I think most people don't actually have that drive in their life that is necessary to become extraordinarily rich and powerful precisely because they have human connections that satiate them enough that they don't become obnoxious workaholics.
Back before the banking industry became synonymous with fat cat CEOs it was a relatively pedestrian career full of normal people. Then the era of huge bonuses came along and suddenly it became attractive to the sort of person that seeks power and wealth above all else.
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.
I doubt these guys are paying someone $6k/hr to disagree with them.
No, the prostitute definitely just really likes me. She said I'm the best she's ever had and my dick is bigger than anyone else she's had sex with.
Yeah for sure. Echoing their thoughts is exactly what they want. They just want good acting skills.
Wish I could talk bullshit and be paid for it...
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.
See, everyone? The market will provide jobs for all the junior devs that get laid (off) because of AI.
Yeah but you have to be a hot women first and foremost.
Bet.
Fucking pathetic that with all bullshit about how elite they are, and how they deserve so much more than the rest of us, they have to fucking pay someone to spend time with them.
They didn't get where they are by being popular
I'm not popular either, but I also don't have to pay people to hang out with me like these losers.
Holy shit that's pathetic
I’m a woman engineer and for that kind of money might be able to stomach this (not that I’m anywhere near attractive enough for them to hire me), but I’m pretty sure if I were attractive enough and got hired they would probably only last a few minutes before I completely emasculated them by actually knowing what the fuck I’m talking about.
Sounds pretty fun, actually, now that I think about it.. as long as I didn’t need to fuck them
I don't think there is any fucking involved, probably lots of crying though.
Fuck, tears of the rich sounds like icing on the $6000/hr cake. Though they would probably expect comfort from me rather than laughter and mockery…

This is definitely not new. Folks I worked with in SF went to parties where there were tech-knowledable escorts back around ~2010.
this could honestly be from the onion
