I'm so flattered to be the topic of mild debate.
I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I was blowing big bucks wining and dining girls or taking them sightseeing or traveling to get them into bed. That's absolutely not what I'm doing. I'd estimate I spent roughly £1200 last year, and £750 of that was just airfare. Then there's lodging, local transportation, my own food, my own sightseeing, and so on and so forth.
So what's left? Well, on a day where I'm kept up 'til 2 AM because she wants to do it three times, I might have spent £10 total. There are days where I maybe spend more (I did do dinner-and-a-movie one time, in the middle of a whole week of the three-times-a-night business) but there are also days where I spend nothing at all.
I left probably £20 on the nightstand of the girl I saw for a week, at the end of the week. She's not a pro, she has a (very respectable) day job and doesn't talk about P4P; I just leave her a little bit, and I make sure I tuck it under something else so she doesn't find it right away. Another girl who I saw a few times during the year, I've never given any money at all.
So if mongering requires the girl to be doing it for money, I'm not a monger. If it just requires the girl to be doing it, and coincidentally getting money, maybe I am, some of the time.
