But of course it's not really a yes-no, polar question. Certainly there are some ladies who are nice/understanding/accepting
only because I'm paying, but in most cases, it's partly because of the $$$ and partly because of me. Most ladies react, positively or negatively, to the client's personality, behavior, respect, etc. (Surprisingly, some even react positively to an opinionated curmudgeon.) That might mean 99% $$$/1% me; it might mean 80%/20%; hell, it might be almost anywhere. I suspect there may have been a few ladies I've seen over the years for whom it even approached 50%/50%.
But since I'll never know for sure (and even 80%/20% is pretty damned good when you think about it), I no longer let that nagging question bother me. I try to be a reasonably likeable person (based on factors I can most easily control) and then spend my time with ladies for whom it is most
plausible that their reaction is 80% $$$/20% me, or better. My ego and capacity for self-deception does the rest.
(NB: The above obviously is a gross over-simplification. There are many more factors that would affect the ladies' behavior than just the $$$ and me.)
