Is it a Flex

The other day I saw one of those Tesla trucks. I was talking to my buddy how I don't get why someone would want such an ugly car. And he said, well it's a flex. Basically, because it's a Telsa, expensive, and has a limited production run, people are buying them just to show off an expensive toy that  not many others can get.

 
Fast forward to this morning. I saw an ad for a new provider. She says she is new too. She's a hottie, at least in the pics. And, her rates start at 1k/hr. One person saw her and reviewed her well too. Review seemed legit since the reviewer has some history and recent reviews of others, but idk. So it got me thinking, who goes and takes a chance on a new provider who charges hight rates? Is it a flex?

part of the culture of guys who need to "flex" is to not admit when they wasted their money.  Most reviewers of women in this range are loathe to write a negative review and tend to score them significantly on the high side.  It's not surprising that a girl charging 1k+ would get a 10 for appearance, because that is the real basis for her rate structure, but when they have nothing but 10's for service as well, I call that an attempt not to look stupid because you paid too much for a girl that was all flash and little substance.  Take these kinds of reviews with a grain of salt.  It could be the "flex" talking.  

Ie, status symbols.

Crazy expensive car that you don't need for any practical reasons (and cost magnitude of order more than a car you actually need for practical reasons)  

Trophy wife who has the looks to show off but may be frigid in bed.

Etc

Ie, the person is insecure and is dying to tell the world he or she has money, and receive validation.

 
An anonymous review of a (relatively) expensive escort... I'm not sure this is a flex. I don't think so.  

First,  1k an hour isnt cheap but it's also not that much more expensive to flex on a forum where many men pay for sex constantly.

Second, if a provider is new, expensive and has only one or two glowing reviews, there is a little alarm going off on my head. Now you said you checked the reviewers history but I generally don't trust profiles like this. Not saying it's fake review or bs profile, but there's a non-trivial chance it is.

 
So to conclude, I don't think reviews are or can be flexes most of the time.

Good points on flexing. But maybe it's a "weird flex but OK" or "odd flex but OK". And even though whether this review is real or not, I am sure there are some guys seeing $1k plus ladies who are new to the scene. You gotta wonder why they would risk it with someone they don't know is really worth it. I know a few guys on here pay the higher rates, but they seem to really put time in to making sure they are not making a mistake.

Most vets - yes. And that's why the alarm should be going in your head too. Lol.

 

There could be a few reasons why someone tries to do that, if we assume the review is real and honest without any hanky panky.

 
Fuck it impulse buy - however odds are slim. People who say fuck it and pay 1k for a hooker with no online presence usually aren't on ter. People come to ter to read reviews first.

 
A rec from another escort who is the escorts friend. This is probably the most likely possibility besides that the review was a paid/dishonest review.

I was going to agree with rocket because flexing is about showing off status in order to get the respect and approval of others. Most people don't openly brag about paying for sex, since it is usually considered low status. Telling people you paid $1,500 to hook up isn't exactly going to make people respect you. Then I realized/remembered that a lot of the high end escorts get paid to go to dinners and social situations in addition to the sex itself. The client won't tell people they are paying for it, but they will show off the girl they are with like she is a trophy date.  

 
For example, I used to work at a hotel with a nightclub many years ago. We had one client that drove a Lambo. He was good looking and in shape (probably used roids tbh). He would always get bottle service at the club and always had a different hot girl with him. I had to go into his room one time. The yellow pages were left out on the counter and it was open to the "escort agency" section. There are a lot of rich guys that pay hot women to hang out with them publicly.

I agree with your post, but the question was about the review, not the actual hookup.

Men definitely do stunt and flex with "dates" who are hookers. That has been a thing for ages. Shit even in the kgirl world there was some big time drama about some tech bro who bought out a girl for a week and then brought her to his company holiday event as a date and introduced her to many coworkers. When I heard that I just facepalmed.  

 
But I think the op was asking about the review and that he was flexing in front of review readers, ie us.  

While it's certainly easier to try to flex on someone from behind a monitor, it is also harder to convince others because people don't see you or can't verify your claims.

BWAHAHAHA!! 🤣  
I’m ded! Holy crap that’s funny.  

 
I will say I live in an area that gets invaded by snowbirds every year, and I see a lot more ’vettes in the winter. Most of them with cold-state plates. The AI might be onto something there. HA!

so Urban dictionary...

 
"According to the Urban Dictionary, the verb "to flex" essentially has one of two meanings. It can mean to show off, to gloat, or to boast, which is the most popular definition of the word; however, it can also mean to put on a fake front, to fake it, or force it."

 
Seems like both the girl and the reviewer could be labled flex in one or the other meanings of the term. Is that what we're going to start hearing for the upper end prices in a TOFTT cases?

You never heard flex used in such a way? I think it's by far the most popular meaning right now and been for a while.  

This fits the "how do you do fellow kids" meme lol

Men pay so much money on a provider because his ego & desperate
