I also don’t think his obsession with hookers is even about sex. He pays these women to go on “dates” with him so that he can be seen by other people who will think that it’s just a normal couple out on a date. It’s so fucking creepy the way he will pick a hooker from the website months and months in advance of his trip, and then expect them to text, call, and speak to him on social media the whole time, as though he’s entitled to their time because he will be paying for sex from them at some point in the future. It’s like the ultimate girlfriend experience, except he convinces himself that it’s real. Remember him posting screenshots of texts that he’d sent to one including pictures of his half eaten meals and things like that? That’s the kind of texts that people in genuine relationships would send to each other, not hookers and their Johns. It’s why he insists on being “a gentleman.” He thinks he’s either going to get a hooker to genuinely fall in love with him because of his groundbreaking ideas of buying them supermarket flowers, or he thinks that’s how men going on a genuine date behave.
Ordinarily it’d be hard not to feel sympathy for someone as pathetic as that, but he’s such an odious little cretin that it’s enjoyable watching him chimp out every time one of the hookers doesn’t indulge his fantasies. I don’t think he even likes women deep down. He’s proven that to him, women don’t have agency. They don’t have talent, they don’t have intelligence. He thinks he’s superior to every single woman just by virtue of being a man. His interest in women is only as an accessory to this amazing life he thinks he’s destined for, and nothing else. He wants people to look at him with a beautiful woman on his arm and on his relationship status on Facebook. That’ll show everyone that he’s better than them. It’s brilliant.
