'Essex Girls' good for business?
« on: 03 September 2012, 07:38:02 pm »
I've been thinking about all the publicity around 'Essex' and 'Essex Girls' and if it is positive for us Essex escorts or not? Alot of guys just see Essex girls as being dumb (especially if your blonde, I'm blonde!) loud mouths, caked in make up/fake tan and probably just a filthy shag but nothing much more. That's a generalisation yes, and NOT one I believe to be true as everyone is differnt but it's true from speaking to men personally that a lot think this way. I myself even play on the 'Essex' slogan becuase I assume it's good for business but although I live here I was never born or raised here and am certainly nothing like a typical loud mouth Essex Girl. I think people assume because of 'The Only Way Is Essex' and typical nasty Essex Chavs that most of us like that? My friends back in Hertfordshire are always asking me if Essex and the people here are like the same as in the programme and I'm always like it's just a program and the majority of us are nothing like it!

Wow I think ive said 'Essex' about 10times lol! So what do you think? Do you think an area such as Essex can put guys off or even make them want to see you more because of it?

I'm sure marketing yourself right now as "Essex girl" can be a pretty catchy line anywhere.  ;D

My opinion is that you just seem to keep insulting women from Essex over and over......which is why I haven't responded (if  I have nothing nice to say it's better to say nothing at all!) until now.

Excuse me? That is not the case at all. When have I ever insulted another women? Can you not see I am trying to say not all women from Essex are like that and that is my point?

Anyone can see from my post I am infact trying to defend women from Essex and say we are not all like the idiots from that t.v show and do infact have a brain! Please in future if you have some kind of issue with me contact me via pm because I am very confused by your comment.

Well... it's kinda like anything else... some men will like it some won't. I daresay though that advertising as an essex girl everywhere but Essex would probably cause more of a stir than an essex girl in essex... as clients live there so they know it's just like everywhere else.

I have no issue with you at all, I'm just saying that to women who are from Essex (like myself) it comes accross as a bit nasty, that's all. x x

It was never meant in a nasty way but I see how some may think it was so if that's the case then I apologise. There's just so much hype over 'Essex Girls' I thought it would be interesting to start a thread on it that was all.

Im from essex and i have never had this problem, not with anyone o.O maybe its the way you are marketing yourself that you find this? i mention im from essex and work in such an area but dont play on the fact im born and raised here o.O i barely have an essex accent to be honest, once people talk to me they realise im nothing like the stero type and prefer it a hell of alot more, i think its because i dont sound or look like a 'blonde, oopma loompa'fied loud mouth chav' i guess o.O

Ok great.

I believe the OP came out of the poster's preoccupation with how others (and not even any particularly nice 'others' who are worth worrying about) perceive her in particular, rather than out of any general opinion about "Essex girls" and whatnot, if that helps.

In my personal experience, while I'm sure Essex has the same sort of mixture of people in it that everywhere else does, I've only ever met very lovely and genuinely nice people from there. Lots of smart women, too. That whole "reality" show thing about Essex was really annoying because it was quite boring but everyone seemed to go bonkers with adoration for the women on there who were clearly pretending to be as unintelligent as possible. And it makes me sad when women feel like they need to do that to seem "nice" (rather than clever and therefore "evil and calculating").

To get rather more back on topic, with escorting (as with any marketing), it can be effective to have a persona/character. Not a mad stereotype that you have to adhere to strictly or anything, but just a general outline that makes it easier for potential clients to feel like they understand you and know about you (because people tend to relax more when they feel like they're in a comfortable environment, and will generally respond positively to the familiar). When marketing using personas, it's a good idea to make use of positive aspects of a stereotype, but emphasise your individuality when refuting the negative aspects.

And then, once you've finished doing that if that's something you wish to do, turn your attention to a nice book rather than spending any additional minutes thinking about other peoples' assumptions because those (and all) subsequent minutes are precious moments in your life that should not be wasted.

But as I said neither do I and I don't market myself at all as being actually from Essex. I say I was born and raised in Hertfordshire and that I am well spoken ect, but I still know some guys still think like that nt just about me but Essex girls in general. Whenever they hear about a girl from Essex that's the image they Unfortunatly think of straight away most of the time.

This is my point! It's crazy how publicised Essex is and what it makes others who don't even live there think about it. Trust me don't watch it lol it awful!
