Now, this isn't about American women, but...
Tell me, if your father was shacking up with a third-world girl substantially younger than him, and she was pushing him for marriage and digging into him financially, and then he died unexpectedly, should you feel obligated to give her something even if the old man didn't spell it out in a will?
I kind of think if this broad had succeeded in pushing him into marriage, then she might not be so generous with the tables shifted.
Yep, good black dudes have trouble, too
I'm a white dude, but my brother was college dorm roommates with a black dude who has everything going for him. He's an engineer with a good job, religious, doesn't smoke or drink and had a former Navy dad. Well read and into martial arts.
Anyway, he had a hang up in that he would only date black women, something about community unity. But he had trouble finding a good one, as we all do, regardless of color.
So then he had a serious deal with a black chick who spent a lot of time with his mother and all that. But this girl had a secret box that she was careful that he never get into, and that made him naturally inquisitive.
Some problems started to emerge in the relationship, so he picked the lock on the box.
The shit was crazy. Basically, he discovered she was still corresponding with an ex-boyfriend who was imprisoned, and she told this inmate that she was only dating our chump friend until he got released.
That pissed my buddy off well enough. But then he also discovered that the girl had been "borrowing" money from his mother during her terminal illness.
Why most American men cheat/visit providers?
What follows is NOT a reflection of conditions in my own current marriage; but a compilation of data from my own first marriage plus the experiences of several men who cheated on their wives who have spoken with me at great length about their motivations over the years.
I do not believe all appreciation for the providers is a function of age and the man's inferior sex appeal per-se. Rather, it is a function of experience.
Most married men, I believe, if they had a better home life, would not cheat. Obviously, some would no matter what. But most wouldn't. Most men find self-value in adhering to promises, meeting responsibilities, etc.
But there is an absolute epidemic out there of wives failing to provide for the most basic of a husband's needs: appreciation, acceptance, approval and physically demonstrable affection. Men are nagged endlessly, treated as accessories and disposable gateways to a lifestyle, disrespected and talked down to, (even in public) etc.
Their wives try to force husbands to be more feminine; turn them into girlfriends and shrinks, and then stop finding them attractive when they comply. The list is endless. (Not all marriages are like this. I'm talking about those of a large proportion of men who end up cheating.)
It is not at all unusual for wives to treat their pets or total strangers with higher regard than the husbands who provide for them. These men are exposed to endless emotional and psychological ABUSE day-in and day-out. They take it out of misplaced loyalty, for the sake of kids (who really shouldn't grow up learning that men should be treated that way), because their wives have destroyed their self-esteem, a biased legal system, etc.
Your average woman wouldn't take even a tenth of the abuse that men do these days.
When their self-centered, self-important and scandalously selfish wives concede to sex; it is often taken care of with about as much ardor as taking a shit.
The double standards in the home are breathtaking; and the manipulation is endless. If he doesn't let her go spend a day at the spa with the girls, he is being "controlling;" but if he wants to go spend Saturday down at the golf course, "he doesn't love her."
These men are absolutely STARVED for acceptance, basic respectful treatment, physically demonstrated affection and to just plain be treated fairly like normally-valued HUMAN BEINGS. They want an outlet where they can express their primal manhood without being treated as though they are an icky pariah barely deserving of drawing breath.
A provider, albeit for a fee, treats her client with normal human respect and dignity; accepts him as he is, gives him tacit approval to be a man in an environment free from "gotchas" and makes love to him enthusiastically. Like she means it. (Even if she doesn't. The man will suspend disbelief. Though -- maybe I am a bit naive -- I really DO think some providers really mean it. How they manage it, I don't know.)
Of COURSE he is appreciative. He is as appreciative as a starving man placed in front of a plate of spaghetti.
But it isn't just the sex that makes them appreciative. It is the ATTITUDE. Giving a man a great buildup and one hellatious orgasm does not take more than an hour. The reason men book providers for more than an hour is because they need more than the orgasm from her.
And, yes, men ARE easily controlled. Men WANT to please the women in their lives. If they are given acceptance, approval and appreciation coupled with physically demonstrable affection -- they will conquer continents for the woman who does it. And more often than not, they'll remain faithful too.
And when the woman giving the acceptance and physical affection happens to be a provider; depending on just how starved the guy is; she DOES gain a certain level of power. Power that the man's wife surrendered through abusing it. BUT, if she is ethical, that power is not abused; because she already knows what the wife did wrong.
(One reason I think some providers could make really fantastic wives. They get it. They see the results of all the other women's mistakes.)
So I think an older guy's appreciation for a provider is NOT always a function of the man being unable to get laid by a hottie. MANY hobbyists could do so readily; and seek providers for discretion and to avoid complications in meeting basic human needs.
In fact, I would say a lot of men are a lot more attractive than they think they are. It's just that their sexual self-esteem is in the TANK.
(That's an interesting way to assure fidelity. Make sure your husband feels so damned unattractive that anytime a pretty girl makes a pass at him he believes she's picking on him and couldn't possibly be sincere. Sometimes this technique backfires though.)
So I believe that a major reason why guys with experience appreciate providers so much is because of the way providers TREAT them.
Mental cruelty and Western women
Capt Ajax hit the nail on the head with this post. Another way to say it is that "he hit the nail - squarely on her faultlessly manicured thumb."

[/quote]It doesn't take getting married to see this, and to realize that Western society is rife with it and too many Western women are full of it. The all-too-common attitude seems to be that "a ring on my finger means a ring in HIS nose," and Western society sees nothing wrong with that attitude.
You can find that sort of attitude in women from anywhere in the world, but it seems more manageable in South America - at least from my limited observations. There are other regions, too (Southeast Asia comes to mind) where "a good man is valued like a precious jewel," or at least where the women grow up seeing that shit begets more shit and that the woman who dishes it out and gets slapped down for it has only herself to blame in the eyes of the community.

How long, though, would that treatment last? That's what I find scary, and that's what keeps me keeping up my guard.
So you pay a few dollars and spend an hour with a provider who gives you that "loving feeling" for an hour or so. Or if you're lucky, you pack up and move to some country where the women value their men and behave lovingly toward them.
The ground rules of marriage - of human relations - should be:
If you treat me like a king, I'll treat you like my Queen.
If you treat me like your sugar-daddy, I'll treat you like my sugar-baby.
If you treat me like a dog, don't be surprised if I treat you like a fire-hydrant.
Speaking for the American man: Woof!
