Hello PS,
I’m envious of your position of having started this very early on and basically being “sorted” by hour mid twenties in terms of housing and education. I wish I had the sense to start then but have wasted years believing it’s “wrong” and how “I’ll never make money with my body it’s disgusting”. Instead I’ve been drifting aimlessly and tangled in abusive broken relationships. I’m also stuck in a corporate job I despise. If only time travel was possible. I’m 28 soon and started this a few years ago. I feel like I’ve wasted so much time and now working tirelessly to “catch up” and make as much as possible to hop on the property ladder and make a career u turn.
Essentially I am focused to accomplish what you have done ages ago, but massively worried that whilst I am on it, I’ll be past my “best years” and we know the dating options begin to diminish after 30 (sorry!).
Happy to know you’ve got an accepting partner who knew you before and after. I did have a relationship for a year and he knew, but it took him time to accept that or af least manage it in his head. Eventually we broke up as he went with someone his parents considered a “better” match. Someone untainted and proper I guess...
NS,
It sounds like you have many things sorted out already. But you don't have to worry about dating options after 30, you will likely find that they improve quite a bit. Plus you will be more comfortable with yourself, know what you need, and less likely to accept negative behaviours. You're only stuck somewhere if you don't take action. And you haven't "wasted" anything by gaining experience in a traditional career path or learning what you prefer.
I was raised to be a good girl, and sometimes have to remind myself that I still am. I just enjoy getting paid very well for a job that is mostly fun and rewarding. I realize that doing this has preventing me from having a "traditional" life so that has been motivation to be the best escort I can and work hard. Remember the most difficult part of this job is finding enough good clients for high volume work, so I focus my energy on taking care of them.
Are you considering quitting your corporate job soon? If you can get enough clients now, that sounds reasonable, but right now it's so hard to find new clients. My standards are quite high though as I don't tolerate bs and it takes more time to find the clients I choose to see.
One other thing, I recommend taking time out to do other things you enjoy. Most of my friends are escorts and we love shopping, running, dancing, lunch together instead of always talking about work. Don't be afraid to date if you want, to just be careful about sharing too much early. You'll know if it feels right. Escorting and dating both take a lot of practice to get really good. Plus as an escort you're never tempted to have a one night stand with some jerk just because you're not shagging enough each week.
