Crabs In A Barrel

As a non native English speaker I have trouble to picture this.

Picture crabs pulling each other down and preventing escape from a barrel. If they can't or don't want to escape, they won't let others escape.

Picture people being jealous over the possibility of success or happiness of others. So such jealous people attempt to block or interfere with people that might become more successful or attempt to do something different from what they are doing.

I'm probably as close to middle of the road in regards to the Pro-P4P versus ANTI-P4P debate as they come.

When me and a few pals were visiting the red light districts in Germany, we had 1 pal that refused to partake of the fun. He was cool though, and he had fun coming along and exploring the places we found. He was a good looking dude that did some modeling and felt that P4P was beneath him. Partially because he prefered the thrill of the chase, particularly when he won.

The rest of us liked the apartment building full of good looking women that we found and could choose for only 30 euros (around $40 dollars). Note- Yes, P4P in Europe is often 5X to 10x LESS EXPENSIVE than the outrageous prices in Japan. We averaged 3 chicks each that same night. Took beer breaks and travelled to other nearby German P4P apartment buildings.

Later that night, a bit of a debate raged about P4P. My opinion, then and as I give it to you guys now, is ROI (Return On Investment).

To me, P4P is only worth if it costs roughly LESS or EQUAL to the amount of money spent going out on a date OR the quality of woman is higher than I could ever expect to usually date.

So, absolutely refuse 20,000 yen ($200 or more) for average Jane chicks that we could meet walking down the street or online. And, usually can keep the costs of a date (if I pay for everything and all night hotel) to less that 20,000 ($200 dollars). By the way, damn this Japanese hotel policy of paying for all night after 9pm or 10pm. That's what ends up costing 10,000 ($100 dollars) plus.

And if going above this 20,000 yen limit, best believe, this is an unusually special woman. NOT because she CLAIMS to be, but because this is some semi-famous gymnast, dancer that can put both legs behind her head, or a 175cm plus tall model that everybody would say she is drop dead gorgeous.

Furthermore, there are other routes like swinger/happening bars, where for 20,000 yen or LESS you can possibly do 3 women in 1 night, if lucky.

My other issue about P4P, is that buying women all the time can lead to guys having very POOR pickup SKILLS or even withdrawing into a bubble world and being anti-social.

I have a couple of Japanese co-workers that apparently almost ALWAYS BUY women. Consequently, they have no skills and no willingness to talk to women in a social context, unless she is literally drunk with her head on his lap and almost begging for him to take her home. For the most part, they don't want to risk rejection for asking and consider most women not worth the effort.

This mindset, in my opinion, is partially why the sexual frequency levels are so low in Japan. How often will a guy have sex, if it costs him 30,000 yen a pop? I make more money than most, and I would roast my bank account doing that 3x plus a week. The average Joe (or Tanaka ;) would likely be stuck at 1x or 2x a week for FS. With lots of guys dropping to 1x every 2 weeks or having to settle for only BJs or HJs, and that is damn sad.

The other side of the coin, is if a woman is selling it for P4P, many become gold digging predatory. Men are just ATM machines to be abused. When the average guy approachs her, she is ignoring them or giving the palm, because she is selling herself and normal sex isn't interesting or she is worn out. The exception of course is very popular guys that every other woman wants, and who she will complain about and get angry at "all" men if/when he dumps her because he has so many other options (that go around, come around circle).

I think P4P needs to be placed in the context of how is it making your sex life better? The other aspect, is it can give guys MORE OPTIONS. Like not having to put up with female relationship BS.

The calculation can come out for some guys that it's totally not worth, maybe occasionally, or the greatest thing since slice bread. And that is maybe how you address your pals about it. I'm doing me and having a wonderful time, so different strokes, for different folks.

Just found this this morning : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/a...oure-physically-strong-narcissistic-male.html

The best part being "people who constantly want casual sex ... are more sexist, manipulative, coercive and narcissistic"

I knew you guys were psychopaths ahaha
Seems likes this cuts both ways.

"U.S. researchers found that in those who were up for it, casual sex was associated with higher self-esteem and life satisfaction - and lower depression and anxiety."

I get that. I strive for a measured approach to p4p also, and I run pick up quite a bit, often successfully. But some days I'm too tired, too busy, etc. really p4p is helpful for me with travel and that's about it.

And it's ok with me if people don't like it or don't approve. My issue is that these people I'm talking about will ostracize you over it, and even far less.

I keep my mongering private. The only people who know that I do this are the providing companies, the girls, and you guys. I don't tell my friends, my co-workers, my family, nobody but you guys. Yes, I am afraid of being judged which is most of the reason why I refrain from saying that I banged this former porn star for the equivalent of $700 plus. I am not doing that only God can judge me kind of argument or whatever, but I just do this for my own personal fun. I do have a young co-worker who talks about doing the soaplands, but if he likes to talk about that, I'm like, "yeah, that's cool dude." I mean, he is a pretty handsome young fellow and I think he could have any girl he'd like. He has a nice personality and is very athletic. He even offered me to join him and said he would pay for me but the soapland he attends to does not provide foreign customers lol. But if you guys are open to your friends in real life about it, hey, that's your call. I just don't want my mother worrying over me why I am not married yet.

As for the debate, I am surprised how many educated people do these kinds of services and/or pornography. Like Tera Patrick has a master's degree in biology. I have met providers who claimed to have studied astronomy and I showed her star walk on my ipad and she really told me all kinds of things about constellations. I then shared this information with my dad who is into that kind of stuff lol and I told him that some random chick told me all this. I know some of you guys have met girls who were educated overseas and spoke French, Chinese, and Korean. Sadly, I have more in common with providers than I do with a huge percentage of girls I attempt to date with. Kitty, I also understand has a master's degree as well and studied sociology. But hey, everybody needs money. I live off an inheritance from a relative. I use the pay I make from my job to mostly work out and monger. Still hoping to make money by professionally fighting at some point.

But staying on topic, I am about treating people the way you want to be treated. Simple as that. If I expect somebody to give me courtesy, I will extend mine to that person first. If I feel I did something to unintentionally offend someone, I would like to know and give a proper apology. That's just me. But if people push me, I push back. You treat me like shit, and I try to be nice to you until my patience wears thin, I treat you like shit back. That's the way I was raised. Sadly (unless you feel it is not sad), the girls I get from mongering understand this more than girls I do try to date.

But to sort of share a personal story about this topic, I was backstabbed by someone who I thought was a friend (way back from 7th grade) 4 years ago. I don't want to get into the details but what him and his fat ass bitch girlfriend did to me and his ex-girlfriend (ultimately at my expense) is something I would murder him and that bitch for if I could get away with it. If I explained to you some of the details which I have shared with only close friends and family members, they'd do the same for less. I could have pursued this legally but my lifestyle of me traveling and moving a lot would not have progressed at all. Let's just say it ended with me kicking his ass at a food court in a mall (me being a former amateur kickboxer), spitting in his girlfriend's face (though I badly wanted to beat her with a crow bar in a room full of explosives and leaving her to die in the explosion like the Joker did to the second Robin), and running away from the cops and skipping town permanently.

Other than that, most of my other friends since my youth are great. Some are really doing great in their lives, while others are doing ok. A really good friend of mine is doing her best to raise two sons on her own and me and my family do offer our support for her from time to time. We don't expect anything in return or even a thank you. We just want to know that her sons are loved and that they turn out right and not like their dad who threw away everything. But a this point, all you can do is your best, live and learn.

Sounds like a story there but I won't push it lol.
Thanks for providing your perspective.
 
Well, like with some people here, it was about borrowing money and not keeping promises and that was the situation in a nutshell without all the details. Responsible adults don't do that shit. It is very rare for me to accuse someone of being irresponsible or to act like an adult but when I do, it's a big deal because I don't like it when people break promises such as they will pay me back or whatever.

And his "girlfriend" is a despicable excuse for a human being. I did my best to be nice to her but she threw it back in my face and stole from me and cops didn't do shit about it. I wish I could have kicked her ass too but the gentleman in my couldn't. But if I see her again, I am afraid of what will happen. I just hope it's in a place where there are no witnesses. I just hope her fat ass dies of diabetes or a heart attack. Preferably simultaneously along with ovarian cancer. I know I shouldn't say that but If I gave you the whole story (when I am ready to tell it), you'd agree with me. When I say that, I mean she is a bad person. I've known bad people my whole life and believe me when I say she's a bad person. But beyond treating people the way you want to be treated, to quote Bas Rutten, "I don't believe in an eye for an eye, I believe in two eyes for an eye" and that I did to my friend. I regret that I'm didn't best that bitch with a crowbar in a warehouse full of explosives.

I know some of you may think I need anger management or whatever but I don't. Just don't fuck me over like promising to pay me back, why you need the money and wasting my time.

When I put the truth together, I snapped. And believe me, people who know the whole story would have done the same for less. Unfortunately, I am somewhat of a fugitive and I hope the cops in Matsuyama, hundreds of miles always aren't looking for me. I tend to move around a lot so I am hard to track and I can blend into some crowds.

As for my old friend, I heard he got deported some time later. I previously heard he got another girl pregnant, accuses her of cheating and said the kid wasn't his (said it was some black guy's) and made her get an abortion. It's kind of a he says, she says situation at first but after what he did to me, I feel it doesn't surprise me to some extent. But I don't know and somehow I get involved. But I will admit I indirectly had a role in his deportation.

I take promises seriously. If fuck up, I own up to it. I always pay back my debts and I never borrow off anybody. I work for what I got and some people just don't understand that because I guess they don't value hard work, I don't know.

If I can't keep a promise, then I will tell that person I can't promise anything. I may act like an idiot, I am not perfect, but at least I'm honest. If I can't do something for that person, then I say so. Unfortunately, just want to lie and take advantage of others at their expense. Sick of nice guys finishing last.

Oh I don't doubt it one bit. Had a few people who made it difficult for me too.
At least they can't affect your opportunities in the long run.
 
At this point, not anymore. At the end of the day, I have always managed to find some way that I can take care of myself. Unfortunately, some sorry pathetic excuses for adults, let alone human beings, can't and need to lie to someone and mooch off of them.

Sadly, it was a situation I try to do something the right and legal way and I come out as the bad guy.

As UFC champion Ronda Rousey once said, "It's fucking insane that we live in a world where it's legal to be an asshole but illegal to hit one."
