So when a client asks my age I tell him the usual age I get mistaken for.
Thanks Harlow x

I like the approach! 

I think the problem is that clients are aware that we are usually saying few years less, so I am afraid when I say my true age, in their minds it will be +5.

I don't lie about my age although a few websites have carried old details without updating. I do look/can appear in my mid 20s but have found some older guys say they wouldn't see anyone under say 30. I do often get experienced 'punters' adding on 5 years before they have met me and obviously they get a massive surprise when they do meet me. Would rather that than be told or asked if I am actually older than I say!

I tell the truth, though most people (in life in general) think I'm younger than 21 so I could probably pretend... but I don't feel younger if you get me, I don't want to act like a giggly 19 year old to fit with the story I'd be telling.

I think some younger escorts will be pleasantly surprised when they hit 30. I see it as the optimum age for an escort. For the nicer clients rather than the complete tossers!
You can still get the younger ones who like MILF, also the older ones who dont like the idea of shagging a lady younger than thier daughter. I once lied and said I was older than advertised for that reason. The relief on his face was brilliant! And ive seen him quite a few times.
Anyway theres always light diffusing foundation if you start to notice fine lines.
So enjoy your youth, god knows it doesnt last but its not the end of the world to be a woman of a "certain age."
There was a lady on Adultwork last year who was advertising at age 70. So theres hope for us all!

lol, I wondered about that. In fact, looking around I was surprised that the majority of guy escorts out there are 25-35. Im just 22 LOL. At one point I thought after 30, escorting is a bit 'out of league' and I wouldn't want to be depending on a man for money by that time...But, I havent too much thought about that and also the fact that some people prefer someone from that age bracket.

30 may be the optimum age, but the younger 20s are the PRIME time! You're new, horny on a daily basis...and I've been having sex for less than a decade still 

The problem I have with age honesty is that there's a great difference between what age you're actually in - and what age too many men think you're in.

Example: they look at someone and see a pretty girl. They automatically assume she must be in her 20ies. Well if they first heard that she was 35, then chances are they might not even have looked at her. Because God forbid, if same desirable woman happens to be 10 years older than they first imagined.  

I believe it's easy to be age honest when you're still in your 20ies. That's when you are in your most desirable massmarket appeal (as far as most agencies, parlours, strip clubs etc go) so you've got nothing to loose by being honest. Well, things aren't as easy say 10 years down the line, when too many agencies and parlours only seem to list "young girls" and may not even meet you for an interview. Not unless you blurt out "I'm in my late 20ies" - and still look it.

In fact the whole "girlification" of women makes me nauseous. The whole: men v/s "girls". As opposed to men v/s women. It's there in broadcasting: where mature female TV presenters get replaced by younger "girls". It's in most women's mag articles, especially when the topic is dating and fully grown women get addressed as "girls" looking for "men". It's there when 30 something actresses/pop stars etc are branded as "girls", whereas their male counterparts are addressed as "men". It's every time an older model/actress/celeb gets her wrinkles/cellulite/mid riff scrutinised. It's in many, many sectors of employment but I suspect it's at worst in fashion, entertainment and sex industry.

It's insulting, degrading, infantile, demeaning and belittleling to women, IMHO. It's as if it's OK for a man to grow up and become a man, but for a woman to grow up and... Remain a girl.

And in our business I think it manifests itself by how many more men prefer "young girls" as opposed to women their own age. I find those men deeply immature. Why else do they desire 20 year old escorts, when they themselves are old enough to be their dads? (Not to say grand dads...) I think if we were emotionally equally developed (meaning many more male clients were less dumb), then high class agencies would be filled with 50 year old ladies. Since vast majority of clients (give and take young lads and seniors) - are themselves middleaged men.

I am not against men looking for sex (or relationships) with people of various ages. But I'm sick and tired of men rejecting women their own age, or men regarding women of certain age as "past it".    

Therefore, I never hold it against any escort who feels the need to lie about her age. Yes, it's sad and we shouldn't have to do it. But then, it's sad that we have to live in such age fascist culture, and be amongst so many immature men/agencies/parlours/strip clubs etc.

Personally, I decided not to state any age or statistics on my web site or directories. Well, who needs numbers when you have pictures to look at? Use your eyes, not your d!ck (as Violette said)  

I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad idea. I don't know whether I loose lots of clients or whether my pictures and over all presentation will win them over. I also don't know how large percentage of them only search by age criteria in directories. I will simply have to see.

But the main thing is - I'm not lying.

Exactly!

In the last couple of weeks I've had the fortune to attend a couple of socials arranged by some regional forums I frequent. Chaps at both events said they were surprised as they'd imagined me as much older, due to my posting style.

I think it's a compliment.
