Dating and Companionships in the Modern City – London Life and London Love

The wealthy business person is able to date in London thanks to London escorts – professional dates, who accompany them to dinner or social functions.

London is huge. It always used to be big, but now it’s enormous. Leave for a few short years, and you come back to discover a genuine metropolis – filled with people, none of whom really know each other. It’s a collection of distinct areas, each bled into other distinct areas until the melting-pot effect has taken its toll almost irredeemably. It’s exhilarating, it’s wonderful: but it can also be very, very lonely.

This loneliness isn’t a new thing, for London or for any big city. As long ago as the 1920s, P G Wodehouse was writing about how London was a city too big to care who you were or what you did – and he was writing comedy. You can only imagine what less happy writers of his time, and since, have had to say about the experience of living in the UK’s largest place…

For the single man (or woman for that matter), finding a date in the city is a ritually painful experience. Wealthy professionals, whose social time is more limited than most, can find it even harder. Plus, there’s one rule of London life that seems pretty unchangeable for everyone, no matter who you are – you can’t date people you work with, or who do the same thing as you, or the combination of same-stress conversations and high-pressure living scuppers the relationship before it’s had a chance to start. At bottom line, this aspect of London dating is a simple reaction against the pressures of working in the city. Who wants to talk shop when they’re relaxing?

For the wealthy business person, finding dates can be a practical consideration. London escorts are routinely used to provide companionship and balance at important business dinners, as well as to provide stimulating society for what would otherwise be lonely dinners or lonely evenings. It’s a solution that works well on every level – for a certain type of person, a relationship is either too time consuming or simply not an option, in which case paying for companionship where it’s needed becomes the same kind of transaction as buying food when you’re hungry or a drink when you have a thirst.

The average London escort is (judging by the pages of escort sites anyway) likely to be a model of some sort. As a general rule, escort agencies are expected to keep photographs of their models and agents up to date. 

Prices will be displayed along with the model or agent in question – though it is sometimes unclear what length of time the price is related to. Judging by the prices displayed on some sites, and the clientele those sites are clearly aimed at, it seems likely that prices are displayed on a per hour basis. Some models require prices on application. Business people using escort sites are also informed when their preferred escort is way or unavailable. 

Taking an escort on a date allows the wealthy client to enjoy all the normal titillations of a date – lively conversation, attractive company – but without the uncertainties. When you’re paying for a date, you’re guaranteed conversation you will enjoy and you aver no obligations beyond whatever you wish to pay for. At the end of the night, the life of the busy executive resumes with no ties and no associations beyond those of rebooking next time a date comes around.
