I think being in sex work, I’m a lot more sceptical of men’s intentions in civvy life/dating so I probably don’t give out the same energy I might had I never been in this line of work and had my eyes opened. In private life I’m not looking for a quick shag or a fling and I make men work harder for my affections if I’m going to be with them for free. So it’s maybe not so much about seeming repulsive outside of sex work, maybe just a little less obtainable.
