Economist: Prostitutes Cheaper Than Wives Over 20 Years

[Strk]

Not if you can convince the judge to give you custody. It's possible if you shop around for a convenient place to divorce.

Not really.... Kids are expensive

You're also assuming a large child support payment, which isn't always the case.

Something tells me she was not at the hairstylist for 11 hours.

I hope that guy learns that hair salon visits most likely don't take 11 hours regularly....
That means ya girl is cheating on you....

 

[skimple]

My wife and I are DINKs and love it. She is also super practical and probably hates shopping malls more than any woman on earth.

It's nice finding someone who doesn't fall to the social pressures of move out to burbs in over sized house, have 2.5 kids, a dog, a cat, have her be a stay at home mom, drive guzzlin SUV's, crank the heat to 74 and stay in debt till death.

So my wife is WAY cheaper than a prostitute, in fact she's lucrative.

And we're all glad that you won't be passing on your genes.

They needed a study for this?

Don't some black girls spend all day getting their hair done? I'm pretty sure it can take all day.

But then that is kid costs. You would have the same adopting a kid and seeing hookers. I think we should keep it Apples to Apples.

You do realize you can knock up a prostitute just as much as a wife, right? Quit comparing having kids to the equation of cost.

You think you are going to be financially responsible for a pro's kids? That would be a fun court case to attend.

Plus, more than likely she would never know it was you.

Yeah... if she can figure out exactly which guy knocked her up, she must not be a very popular hooker

Apparently you haven't been to a court in the United States. They are known to side with the mother, and the woman in general when it comes to issues such as these. Yes, you sure as fuck will be responsible for your offspring, and your wages will be garnished.

Just bring her on Maury and she is good to go for a free test of "Who's the father?" as well

Yeah, but how would you ever be identified or be suspected of being the father in the first place? We are talking prostitutes here, it isn't like you give them your name and number before getting down to business. It's a cash only transaction between two anonymous parties. Chances are she has conducted business with a lot more people than just you in between menstrual cycles, so how exactly is she going to find out who the father is? If she's your mistress, then yes. But a prostitute? No way.

find the dumbass that decided to bang the prostitute without a condom?

lol good point. I guess you could start by checking the local clinics.

I thought they could easily figure that out. You mean Jerry Springer was a lie? :awe:

This. I do all of the cooking in our house because I enjoy it. My wife hates to cook. I hate doing laundry so my wife does that. It's a win-win.

I think the first time I asked my wife to go grab me a beer was also the last time though. That must be reserved for a generation even older than mine.

Stop over this summer when I'm doing hay. You can go up in the loft and help me stack the hay; my wife will put it on the elevator. It's about 120 degrees or warmer up there, and dusty from the hay. When we're done and we climb down, I'll gasp, "beer, please get me a beer," and she will happily oblige - because she didn't have to go up and stack hay.

 

[QueBert]

Usually her stylist would come to our house, so I'm pretty sure unless she was Houdini it was in fact her sitting there getting her hair done for 11 hours.

I like it. This is a good start. However, somehow sex with the wife needs to be taken into account doesn't it? The problem is, marital intercourse follows a inverse square relationship to years married, so it makes things a little more difficult.

Yeah. It goes from something you do every night to something that happens once a week, if you're lucky. "Too tired". "I don't feel good." "Let's do it in the morning." So many excuses, makes you wonder wtf you got married. Promises were made. Promises have to be kept. Add the fact that I do the cleaning in the house (I like to clean) and the prostitute option is one one would entertain...

I know this is going to come as a shocker to you, but most women would prefer not to be a cum receptacle if given the choice. Yes, females have other pursuits in life than cooking, cleaning and servicing you. Imagine that.

Oh would you look at that, this is post #69 in this thread. :awe:

Getting a bit off-topic here, but I'm kind of under the notion that the woman is rather obligated - you know - for doing everything for the family? To have someone to come home to at the end of the day that loves you? It's not a surprise to come home pissed off if all you come home to is a woman that doesn't want any part of you... Maybe I'm just an old fart at the age of 26 though...

It's a viscous cycle, women want to feel loved to have sex, men want sex to feel loved.

To think anyone is obligated to do anything, even in a relationship, is likely one of the key drivers to the divorce rate and abuse in this fair country.

That said I'm going to say different strokes for different folks. Some people are just built that way. In my experience most are not. Shit like that only builds resentment over time which leads to separation in the long run. I've seen it happen with far too many friends to dismiss as coincidence at this point. They usually stay together only long enough for kids (if they're involved) to get out of the house then it's game over.

For most men, having sex I don't think has anything to do with feeling loved.

There are a lot of factors to consider when determining the cost of the one or the other.

What is the ongoing maintenance cost of dealing with hooker std's?
Is the wife a regular wife? or a Tommy2000 kind of wife?

You know how I know your gay?

Lmao. Well played gentlemen!

Same for my house. I do all the cooking and most of the cleaning of the kitchen area. Truth be told the split in labor lays pretty heavily on my side. I do pretty much everything outside too. And now that my kids are old enough to round up and sort laundry and even load it into the washer the work required there is going down. She irons clothes about once every 3 months.

I too cook because I like to cook (see Cooking with SunnyD threads). But my wife will cook especially when she knows I'm either sick of cooking or burnt out for the day (for example she made chili last night because I mentioned how awesome yesterday would be as a chili night, and I like her chili). She normally cleans up the kitchen and does the laundry, but on days I know she has other stuff to do or has been overbooked, I do it. She ferries kids around regularly for afterschool stuff and whatnot, but if she has to go in a different direction on a particular night, I do it.

The knife cuts both ways and we do our own things most of the time, but we're cross-trained for a reason: I know that if something in our daily routines is going to be missed by either of us, the other one will pick it up no questions asked because that's how fluid relationships work.

 

[Scarpozzi]

Depends.

Are you dumb enough to marry a woman that expects to not work once she finds a man? Then yes, a prostitute is cheaper, because you will be paying for 2 (or more) people instead of 1. It doesn't get any more simple than that.

Luckily, I ended up bagging one that brought more to the table than me But I've since caught up to her.... which is making me start to wonder. :hmm:

This. If you marry a woman who is career driven, she is likely to be smarter and your arguments will either be more frequent or not at all. My wife and I rarely argue about anything big. My cousin is in the same boat. So go looking for attractive, successful women and leave the lazy ones alone.
