They don't actually believe the woman loves them or is totally into them. The guys that believe that sort of thing are typically the sort of creepers that will quickly find themselves unable to get a date with any escort in town, as there tends to be a network of recommendation and word of mouth among escorts as to what clients are good, and which are potentially dangerous.
It's a fantasy and a release. Many of these women are extremely adept at reading people, and are able to say and act in ways that their clients want them to without being instructed. "It's like they really get me," the guy feels, even if his rational mind knows it's not real. The stress of his shit job and his shit relationship melt away for a few precious hours, while he's with this companion that he can be himself around for just a little while, not worrying about saying the wrong thing or impressing anyone.
By and large, these men aren't any more or less pathetic than any other. Maybe they're working all the time and can't maintain a relationship. Maybe they're in a strange city and don't know anyone. Maybe they just prefer it this way. The only thing you can say with a surety is that they probably have a bit of disposable income.
