Hmmm, work my ass off trying to impress someone who I'm not really into because she's all I can get, or drop a couple excess c-notes that I have lying around for a romp with a hottie? That's a tough one!
Getting repeatedly shot-down by women who are my aesthetic equivalents and the loneliness that ensued brought me to the hobby. It's amazing how many women who are 6s and 7s think they deserve guys who are 9s and 10s. The fact that the 9s and 10s will fuck these women (though not commit to them) fuels their unrealistic sense of entitlement. By the time they wise up (if they ever do) and are willing to consider the guys who are actually in their league, they've knocked-out a kid or two, which greatly reduces their appeal to me. I have a profile up on a major dating site and the 6s and 7s that respond to my ad invariably have kids. When I message the 6s and 7s who don't have kids, I rarely get a response. It's really ridiculous how a lot of average and above average-looking guys have to either settle for less than they deserve or rent what appeals to them. When I found out that I fell into the category of "good enough to support a kid but not good enough to father one", my moral reservations regarding hobbying dissipated because what I have to offer financially is apparently the extent of my appeal to MILFs and SPs alike. Those being my choices, SPs clearly won out because they don't force me to endure the disgrace of having to raise another man's child, not to mention the fact that they're mostly better-looking than the MILFs I could get.
