Summary: Time is your most valuable resource, and it’s vanishing by the minute. Having fuck-you money and living life on your own terms should be your primary objective. Women will do the chasing if you’re high-value, so if you’re pissing time/money/energy away pursuing empty-headed thots, put pussy on the backburner and focus on becoming a Top 10% man.

Let’s say you’re a business owner. You have $1,000,000 in savings. If your native country is devaluing the currency by 10% a year, you must get a 10% annual return on your savings to retain your purchasing power, and exceed 10% in order to grow it. 10% is your hurdle-rate.

Now let’s say you’re a man who’s leveling up in life and making bank. Before you get involved with any woman, shouldn’t you be able to roughly determine whether or not you’re overpaying for pussy? So your desire for sex doesn’t cloud your judgment as to what it's truly costing you?

I’ve exited the escort scene years ago (had some incredible times though), but from browsing through one popular escort site, the going-rate to screw a hard 7 in NYC (a genuine 7; most guys overrate girls by 2-3 points) is between $300-$700 an hour. That’s how much it’d cost to get a whore who will bang you enthusiastically, give you a worthwhile Girlfriend Experience (you can get an idea of what she’s like based on credible reviewers), then leave you alone afterwards.

Am I saying to go sleep with a prostitute? No. I’m just saying that your hurdle-rate for a hard 7 in a major city is around $300-$700 an hour. That’s your benchmark rate. If the return on your investment in women doesn’t approximate or exceed what a John pays for a quality escort, cast women aside and hike your SMV so the price you pay for sex is much lower.

And if you’re in an LTR (or living with a woman), and your GF is making you pay for a bunch of shit you wouldn’t buy otherwise, and/or she’s monopolizing your schedule and interfering with your goals and passions, you should REALLY re-evaluate your current situation. I know of guys in unhappy LTR’s who spend tens of thousands more a year than they would if they were single. And of course, the money pales in comparison to the 100’s of hours they flush down the shitter appeasing their girlfriend.

$300-$700 an hour for a quality GFE with a hard 7. That’s your benchmark rate. Along with money, opportunity cost should be accounted for when determining if certain women are worth your time.

Don’t overpay for pussy. If you’re dating/plating women, make sure they aren’t slowing you down as you pursue autonomy and financial freedom in life. Being in monk mode is better than overpaying for snatch.
