This is awful. I never told anyone, because you can't 'untell' them. Many people's idea of what we do is negative, and even if it's not they can still harbour judgement about us being untrustworthy, or 'man stealers' or similar bullshit.

My OH has lost friends, and some are now at a slight distance.

Others however are absolutely fine.

Also a thing to remember is (and I don't care what anyone say's) women can be extremely jealous of hookers escorts strippers and so on, because we earn good money are not shy or prudish about having sex and also we don't need to rely on a guy to support us (well in a way we do but we provide a service so it's a bit different) like a lot of women do  .

Agree with this, also there's the fact that we are complete maneaters and therefore cannot be trusted around their partners! I think if I'd never done this and met someone who told me she was an escort I may have had some of the same misconceptions. I'm glad I don't now!

Yep, this is why I told male friends when I started escorting but none of my female friends know. I'd rather not risk it, especially after some rather puritanical reactions when I became an internet dating strumpet.

I don't see the point in telling others unless they work in the same line as they won't understand so how can they give support.

She is probably threatened by you and thinks her man will go off and find an escort. Its mainly jealously, my friends haven't approved either but I have found friends on AW and we have a laugh and go out together and do regular day to day things. Sometimes it takes time for people to understand and get it xxxx

I once told someone that I thought a friend, she was a drug dealer (coke and weed) and then every time I seen her after I told her then she’d constantly go on about it and not in a nice way, and she didn’t care who was there when she said it, one day I had finally had enough and started going on at her about the fact she sold drugs and she paid her bills with the proceeds from people’s addictions, just the same as me, except my clients were happy after they left me and they didn’t sell their furniture and lose custody of their kids just to buy what I sell, like they did with her, well that shut her up and she was falling over herself to make me happy after that, she basically kissed my arss to the point of being pathetic, and I don’t see her now, I think she was jealous in all honesty, this was a woman who had been with her partner for 25 years and never came once and got embarrassed when I asked if she had ever made herself come! She’s clearly shit in bed and is jealous cause she probably knows I’m good in bed! It’s always jealousy with these types.

I personally wouldn't generalize about female reactions myself, women are not a monolith. I've had some women (well actually only one friend) drop me over it (years down the line she messaged me to apologize over that which was nice), one or two be uncomfortable (but usually get over it) some totally indifferent (most common reaction, people are wrapped up in their own lives most of the time and don't care that much what other people are doing, women included) a couple be very curious/weirdly enthusiastic about it (like, find it exciting to meet/ be friends with a lady of the night, until they realize that its not all that exciting that is!) oh and some of those younger very liberal women who are (frankly, annoyingly) up to their tits in 'sex workers rights' manifestos and ready to (wo)man my barracks for me. I mean its sweet but I prefer the indifference. But maybe it depends on where you live and what kind of circles you move in. I think jealous people though will be jealous of any number of people they meet, who their fragile egos might be threatened by.
