And frankly it's kinda something to accuse people of 'slagging people off' whilst you call them bitter...

Realises how ugly society is. And how Online Porn and Social Media has completely destroyed men's understanding of women

Christ FF, you must meet some real arseholes. If I felt that bitter about the world I don't think I could get out of bed (and you don't sound even slightly 'amused').

That’s correct, an absolutely rotten assortment of complete arseholes that I wish never had the “pleasure” to come across and who wouldn’t wish upon anyone. It’s more than enough to put anyone off men and only deal with them for the £££.

And yes I am barely making it out of bed each day. But that’s not the thread for that.

For me it gave me my entire life honestly. I left home young and I had financial issues, no direction or idea how to take care of myself so young and had a lot of depression.

Like others mention it has made me a stronger person, ser boundaries and know my worth. It's given me 100% accurate intuition in my own relationships with men which is heart breaking in one mind but I'm glad I'm aware. I used to class punters and men on the street as different, but honestly they are all the same and I'm very aware of that now 8 years in.

It's given me a small business, it's paid for my education thay gave me 4 years in a professional environment which I hated but still did it and have the papers to show. It's given me fill control of my life, my mental health and well being, it's opened a thousand doors to my future I never thought possible, and that only improved how I value myself and my time.

I love hearing other ladies that have done similar and achieved their own goals through this it makes me a little teary eyed lol. I'm proud of us all life is fkin hard. And women are strong and we will do what we need in order to do what we want. It's given me freedom in this lost world

Dunno if anyone else can relate, but since starting this industry I have officially been put off dating. I sometimes let my guard down and end up in a shituationship. Which forces me to give eup working as I feel guilty. Therefore I lose my independence, my income, and more importantly my self worth. Only to find out they were cheating on me anyway?!
Never again, remember your value ladies. X

Relating! I think 'situationships' are a common problem nowadays, but I feel like being in sex work has made them a particular sticking point for me. I don't know at what point I realised that basically none of the guys I've dated (even the one's who have superficially 'committed') were putting any real feelings into stuff because they didn't want to get series with a prostitute. So I was unconsciously throwing everything at them (emotional, financial and sexual generosity) to try and 'make up' for it and to get them to try to value me, which they never did. I'd always then start to feel burned out with escorting, and lose ground on my financial goals. I don't have a personal life anymore and I've become extremely guarded with people, men especially.

When I first started I was clueless- I honestly believed that only a tiny percentage of men saw prostitutes. I thought I'd be seeing 2- 3 clients a week and got a massive shock when that turned into 3 clients in a single afternoon. I still can't believe just how many men see escorts.

I don't hate all men, but my guard is definitely up regarding personal relationships. I've been fucked over so many times by clients I really do find it hard to trust the average Joe. Also I do think I understand men more- mainly that most are  innately arrogant and emotionally maladjusted. I see them as toddlers- cute, emotionally immature but expect the world to revolve around them.

I think we have to remember that we work in an industry where we see the bad in men all the time. It's easy to forget that there are men out there that are decent
