"Real" cost per notch: http://www.rooshv.com/true-cost-per-notch
Includes all your expenses
I'd say they both are misleading. The "regular" cost per notch does not account for a lot of things you do solely to be more successful in the game or to bang a chick. The "true" cost per notch accounts for a lot of things which are completely irrelevant (for example, you need food and place to live anyway, even if you're not banging chicks).
What would a true cost per notch would be, in my opinion, is something like that:
Direct costs, which should only be accounted if your main purpose of going out was to pick up girls. Those costs include:
- Money spent on you when you go out. This includes transportation, drinks, food, entertainment, tips, hotels, and so on.
- Money spent on girls you're trying to sleep with. Same as above.
- Time spent when you go out. This is more difficult to account, as not everyone has a part-time job which pays hourly and covers as many hours as you could put in (in this case it is easy). However everyone should get at least a basic idea how much their "work" time would cost. Unlike other costs, where you have a lot of control, this one can ramp up very quickly. Personally for me this item alone makes standard American bar gaming cost prohibitive, as just three hours alone would make a cost of hooker.
- Maintenance expenses. For example, if you maintain a separate phone line for girls, it should be added as well. Your order of "Bang" is also direct expense.
Then we have indirect costs, which may be everywhere, and therefore are harder to spot. Again, only the part which is related to the game should be accounted. For example, generally your rent should not be accounted. However if you rent a better place than you would normally do because you consider it would help you bedding more girls, you should add the difference between the regular rent and what you're paying. If you normally getting a haircut once a month, but you changed to every two weeks solely for better pickup, this extra haircut is also your cost.
Once you account all direct and indirect expenses, I'd think for vast majority of Americans their true cost per notch would be very high. And the more money you make, the higher is your cost.

If I also include cost per bang, since some girls I have repeated sex with, game offers considerable cost savings over escorts.
True, but note that in your case you're fucking the same girl, and every repeated sex has significantly less "value" comparing to banging a new chick. So this is not really apples vs apples comparison.
