For most people I think it is an ego thing. I think people like to go to ML shops and think that they talked to the girl into FS and that she doesn't do it for everyone. With a WL, that is explicit from the get go in terms of what the service offering is. I also find the ML girls are better at doing the fake moans and fake/manipulative compliments too, and are probably a little prettier overall and showing less wear and tear (both physically and mentally).

If you want to bang birds and want optimal value for money, then the WL scene is a lot better and there is no comparison. Sure there are a shitload of catfish duds, but you can easily mitigate that with QA/QC against punter planet and just tailing other verified punts from there with no risk.

Finally, for myself, I can't risk my phone messaging an escort and either adding a blocked number or praying they don't ever message me back, so I'm constrained to brothels or MLs for a monger fix at present (but would go WL in a heartbeat if I could).
