Alot of women pretend and like to compartmentalise their lives.
In my experience when I was younger, women that sleep around alot with certain guys want the bf that thinks they are an angel.
So, can a punter be a true friend with a wg, where she doesn't mind that he knows what she does or he has paid her for her time but genuinely cares about him not just about his wallet?

Absolutely!
When I saw your post I immediately phoned XXXXX and asked what she thinks... she started laughing and said no, she is still faking our friendship, 7 years later!

I met her when I lived in Cape Town. 7 years later, still one of my closets friend ever. Then another WG (but she left the business since) from Edenvale is so much than just a "friend", she's like a go-to person whenever for whatever reason. BUT if you want to be friends, no punting allowed. Then you can't call it friends and are starting to go into the relationship zone. It's actually simple - if you pay to be friends.... not so much a friendship and if you pay and have sex, not so much a friendship. We've had this chat on numerous occasions and yes, we are great friends. I haven't seen them for actually quit a time but we speak at lest once a week. That's a friendship. When I'm in CT, she picks the WG on my behalf. If she gets a booking, she calls me afterwards to make sure she's safe. Love them both to bits! Friends for life and it all started with a booking.

O and yes, once you are friends with a WG, you will never find a better "wingman in your life when you go clubbing. True professionals @ work! Once a year we have a reunion at Mavericks in CT with another friend of her who used to "dance" at Mavericks. She was a WG but just couldn't take it and went back to stripping but o boy, the best fun is to go clubbing with a WG. After a few shots they start stripping and nobody knows what to make of it if the guests starts to strip. Its the funniest moment of the year.

No.

Yes because a friend doesn't give a shit what your job is unless your a killer, drug dealer, hi jacker etc. Most of the ladies I have met here are really great ladies. The real question is the one that Harry answers in When Harry met Sally. That is the big issue. Can a man be a friend with someone he finds attractive. Personally i couldn't. I would want to bang here. Friends don't bang friends.

Yes.
I have 2.
One I haven't "booked" for over a year, the other for over 2 years.
We chat on the phone, meet for coffee.
I often have to do some scouting their opposition so they know their competition, and have assisted them both with some business ideas in and out of this industry.
Both are great people.

Yes, definitely, we meet just for a chat or a drink and the last time the WG insisted to pay

Lovely ! :)

True friendship can only exists if you as a punter can see beyond there "occupation". See them as normal humanbeing, and not as a "sex object". Once you can do that, and the WG trust your intentions, you will have a friend for life.

I met my best guy friend 5 years ago...he was a client of mine:)
I have another punter friend I met last year and we have dinner once a week.
