Over the years as an escort, I have had my fair share of timewasters and idiots. The latter seems to be guys who have tried to befriend me and offer "advice".

When I first started at 18, I remember this one guy I saw who started saying I should "put my rates up, but not for him". As apparently what I was offering was chicken feed to most men. He babbled on and on his wife etc, he had severe Madonna syndrome.

Then since 2007, I had a guy who wanted an appointment with me, but first time cancelled because he had the flu, the next he prattled on about ethics for him and morality, and how he "just couldnt go through with it". He is a real pain in the arse though, he has persistantly contacted me via different emails he uses (I block them, but then he makes another), and my work phone, number hasnt changed. I told him firmly the other day what did he want and why couldnt he just fuck off.

I got the whole speel about what a nice girl I am, why didnt I consider a relationship with him etc. Told him if he contacts me ever again in whatever shape or form I will take matters further as I have had enough.

Then I have this "escorting" friend who used to be a driver and has had a right go at me about working for the agency. I havent done too badly out of it (see my previous posts) but he is a complete arse, telling me how "vulnerable" I am and that I am going to be gang raped or murdered one of these days, the cities I live in are the most dangerous in the UK and why dont I do escorting where he is in England because then I would have him to protect me... yeah right. To shut the idiot up, I said I no longer worked for the agency and he was jealous. Yet I had texts from him the other day asking how I was.

What is with these morons???

Well men are not all the same any more than we are - some are just harmless souls who genuinely think they're being helpful and either will or won't be told, some are deluded control freaks and others just project how they feel about themselves for seeing prostitutes onto us to try and make themselves feel better about seeing prostitutes, and think that making us 'better' makes them better too. No two people's reasons for doing something are the same.

The best way to avoid this sort of thing in my experience (and I rarely if ever have to put up with it, so it works for me at least) is to make it clear that you're secure, happy and capable of running your business yourself; have ready answers for the most common 'suggestions' and if necessary, lose the ones who won't listen. There are plenty of jobs where the customers think it's OK to haggle, push boundaries and tell the person doing it that they know better, to be fair - the key is to recognise the tendencies and be firm and consistent.

I got that when I first started Escorting. Clients were saying you should put your rates up
and I did and it went very quiet! I think at the end of the day were the experts on how much
we charge and the area we are in, I even had one who emails if I haven't had many reviews
recently and worries if I am OK for rent at the end of the month ect!
Bloody CHEEK! lolX

I had a client a few weeks ago hugging me saying 'You're too nice to be doing this to yourself'. In the same tone of voice you would use if your old, sick dog had wet the bed.  Very, very, very annoying.

haha! If he is urging all the 'nice' women to quit his only companion will be an old sick dog that wets the bed!
