It is not called prostitution, by most sensible men, because most sensible men (dear god help us all if this is not true) are not just in a relationship to deck someone out in milan's finest so that they can have their fat (in varying degrees) way with her. some humans actually engage in 'dating' as you so derisively describe it, because they enjoy intellectual links with people or find the company of others enriching. Perhaps, in your hypothetical scenario, the male is a bit sociopathical and does not make these human to human connections.
Despite my revulsion with your hypothetical male's opinion of 'dating', I am very happy that you have considered prostitution as a transactive business deal rather as something immoral or offensive. Transactional sex, either in a relationship or in a Hillbrow brothel, is a reality in South Africa, and most definitely a worthy topic to consider.
This is a big step, and an important one for the defense of the rights of sex workers in South Africa. Perhaps you can apply your mind to the question of why we are so adverse to the legalisation of prostitution in a society that largely advocates for 'dating' as you describe it?
