paying a hooker is not in any ways going to make a character more sympathetic, PE =/= mindless.. plenty of PEs reward people who amuse them or who are useful in some fashion, they reserve their truly heinous acts for people who anger them or who get in their way.. serial killers are a great example of this : many serial killers are affable enough until someone crosses a line or they take a mood swing.. these friendly moments by no means makes them likeable nor does it liberate them from being horrendous people.

Edwin Epps from 12 Years A Slave was a "Southern gentleman" when it came to White people and was very friendly with his workhand, he only became hostile when said workhand questioned Epps cruelty towards slaves.. just because Epps was affable towards people of his own race by no means made him any less evil a human being.

I think people often confuse this in a PE.. especially those who can be charming and faux affable - empathise on the "faux".

TLDR: paying a hooker for a "good night" is nothing.. if anything it shows that they don't value close relationships much and see hookers etc as just objects - to be treated as they please.
