Well I'm working and haven't had any nasty men message me. I get the long rambling emails that I scan and ignore but no nastiness for me.

Yes I think your right
they must think working girls will put up with it as we must need the money desperately.. Little do they know if I was skint I would rather live of super noodles than have to put with undesirables..

I’ve become stricter if anything even tho things are desperately slow but the amount of undesirables has been really high. A combination of too much time and dickheads becoming extreme dickheads, plus less of us to go around I guess so more idiots per escort

I think many guys are just seeing regulars, fair enough but for those who for whatever reason haven’t got many regulars (new area just prior to lockdown etc) then get the dregs a lot of the time on the phone. And very few genuine enquiries

I suspect there are the same number of undesirables, but the new problem is there fewer desirable clients able to see us for various reasons: taking the lockdown seriously, fewer excuses to leave home, etc.  So undesirables are much more noticeable because they are much higher percentage. 

Two of my clients today are regulars, and both mentioned they had to find a reason to visit their business today so they could see me.  I'm focusing on my trusted and dependable regulars.

I've had to decline more returning bookings because of the pushing of boundaries on the first visit during with BB and the guy that put numbing cream on his penis which was horrid, And even with duo bookings a guy was trying to be sneaky and I had to take cramp in my food to help my duo partner out. Saying that I have managed to have made a few nice regulars but less of my usual.type I attract are booking me. Guys are having to stick closer to home, Towns have offices closed and Working from home with partner, shielding or just cautious. So it's no surprise we might struggle getting nice new guys. Those with regulars can keep rates at a good level but I imagine with no regulars then it must be tough.

I've gone up with my rates to weed out the less desirable so if I just do one booking a day for the 3 days I work I can cover bills. But for now I'm put of action until the 3rd if all goes well.

I wish I could do that but arriving in this area just prior to the first lockdown, obviously taking a few months out, then just try building up regulars during a pandemic, nigh on impossible I tell you.

Devastating for me, I’ve done everything I can but now I’ve run out of options

TLT are you just going to carry on as you are and ride the tide until next spring or whenever things get any better. I worked yesterday and saw just one.

Trying to. But financially without many regulars things are extremely tough. The timewasters are just at an  all  time high

Sorry to hear you are having such a tough time.
Not sure how you are advertising but I would suggest not advertising AT or even putting your number on which may sound odd but I find both just attract the timewasters at the minute.
I am also getting a large amount of emails from guys with no feedback which I view with caution.
Rigorous screening is everything just now.

Me too, almost every single one is from men with no feedback, at least two of which is asking me about someone else and one of which was enquiring for next year!  It really is tw central right now, luckily I am not desperate for money right now but I AM desperate for something to do, I am pretty bored.

Take up knitting, painting, walking. Or even look for something else to do part time to bring in extra income  :) I find I go mad if having to deal with twats all the time. Unless you're really strugglung financially, I find the money isn't worth it.

I’m in Bath normally super busy and nothing. It’s so awful when you have paid for the incall and it’s just waste men calling you. I’ve got people begging to see me that I know are dangerous from looking up their numbers. I think the quality clients are either working from home or saving money for Xmas.

I just hope that after the 2nd and lockdown things pick up like after the last lockdown. I've booked a place for 4 nights and I hope it's better than the last few weeks. I'm thinking of dropping my rates a bit because I'd rather be busy and make money for xmas. But here in Essex it's been flooded with new girls and maybe because London is quiet.

Has anyone found dropping rates a bit makes any difference in these current times? I just worry I'll get those bargain loving punters that then will write a detailed report on me, This happened to me when I was cheaper and it was not nice to read.

Thanks. I think on the whole you are probably right re. AW. Mostly I’m getting very few from there. So I had no choice but to be on Viva last few months which got some bookings but last couple of weeks even there is very slow.

I’ve just heard my area is one of the few in Southern England to be in Tier3 - my town has low cases but most of the county does not - so that’s just pretty disastrous as lockdown saw a big fall in demand and therefore income.
