Just a simple question: If all these "cool, conservative men" are just self-proclaimed ladies' men,

why does it seem they are always getting caught paying for sex?

Are they truly losers?
Control and domination?
Gaslighting and manipulation?

Gaetz, Trump, Vitter, etc. . .just to name a few.

At least Sanford met his lady legitimately when he cheated on his wife to go hiking the old Appalachian Trail, which apparently started in Maine and ending in a South American woman's vagina.

BTW, let's see if anyone gets the reference for the "cool, conservative men" part.

Why in the world does he need someone else to give him 'access to women' that have to be paid for?

They don't understand love, altruism, sacrifice for others, compassion, empathy.

They only understand transactions.

To get to sex with a woman who is their peer, it so often requires a few dates worth of pretending that you're a decent person and actually interested in getting to know the woman. They ain't got time for that.

And the fact that they can manipulate others that way is probably part of what gets them off.

That's a big IF.

If these cool, conservative men have to tell you they're ladies' men, well, who are they trying to convince?

The MVP doesn't go around telling everyone he's the MVP. The MVP doesn't have to say a word.

If Gaetz and Greenburg, and Vitter and Larry Wide Stance and Trump and the others have to tell us what smooth, attractive, irresistible ladies men they are, me thinks they really aren't.

What they are is abusers. Manipulators. Rapists. Narcissists. Pedophiles who think they are above the law.

Not cool, cool, considerate men at all.

Most women will not do things that men who hate women want them to do.

Hence, they have to pay for it.

In the end there's thousands of competitors all offering the same product, and nobody makes a profit.

someone that would be with him becsuse of his wealthy family but they would want commitment and possibly marriage. They would expect things like going on vacations , nice home and other things his money would provide. But Gaetz didn't want commitment.

Trump is ugly v and insecure .

Vitter was probably the most "normal" in that he was married to someone that liked him for himself and stayed with him. But he just wanted sex so paid for it since he didn't want anything more.
