I'm in a very frustrating situation and in 2026, the way people act these days in the United States is certainly not helping (especially here in Seattle). The dating landscape just feels like a nightmare. I approach alot but get rejected alot. I get a phone number here and there, a rare date here and there, but there is something that the woman finds wrong with me.

I am starting to wonder if going to a hooker is a better use of your money than trying to get laid the typical way?

Cons of trying getting laid the traditional way:

  1. Waste of enormous amounts of time (time is money), going to bars/clubs, approaching women at the malls, gyms, stores. The rejections also add up and make you just feel miserable. I've spent hours walking around in places trying to approach women and maybe only got lucky to get a few numbers or sometimes none, and even if you got the numbers many would be flakes. So now you wasted all the times walking around trying to get numbers for nothing.
  2. Even if you find a woman, you will have to pay for a hotel room to even have her sleep with you. Hotels/motels cost money and can go up to 100 bucks at least, maybe lucky to find something cheaper.

Cons of seeing a hooker:

  1. bigger risk of std's since she is seeing many other men.
  2. The cost can be alot higher, i've seen escorts charge at least 400 an hour.

So what do you think? which is a better deal?
