I quite agree. He's a complete idiot for letting on, but I don't think it's stalkerish at all.

I get recognised now and again and I couldn't give a toss, but I wouldn't see somebody who said something like this before he'd even met me in person, because it tells me he has no idea of an appropriate way to behave and therefore I wouldn't want him in my flat.

Because where I live is small, I very occasionally get people who vaguely know me from previous jobs or as a friend of a friend texting me to tell me this and ask about a booking at the same time. As far as I'm concerned that's beyond bizarre, and I don't even answer them.

Absolutely agree. They get an instant block from me.

Yes if anyone mentions it before we meet, I consider them a complete loose cannon.

Not too long ago someone contacted my via AW convinced I'd been to an interview at a particular organisation. What sort of person makes random contact like that? The sector he referred to is one in which I have been active, and I had thought aabout working for the place he mentioned (I'll be giving it a wide berth now),  so I don't know if it was an attempt to get me to out myself. All organisations I'm involved  with know about my sex work but only on a need to know basis, so whilst I have their support and can't be outed as such, it's still not something which is broadcasted.

I don't know how people can recognise me if my daily makeup and clothes are different to my pictures on AW. My everyday style - Plain Jane. I'm not well know pornstar lol
I tried to blur my face on AW but misogynists and competitors complained to the site and my profile got deleted. It was a pain to get it back. So, I'm kind of forced to show my face. It's not a nice feeling.

Fortunately, I'm going to work in France and Italy this summer, I can have a few adverts with a blurred face, not only one like on f*** Adultwork.

I doubt it was because you didn't show your face as that's not against their t&c's and if it was 99% of us would have ad our ads removed.

I don't go stalking other girls profiles but I still would probably recognise one or two, and there's probably one or two I would recognise who don't show their face.

Although it would be more along the lines of 'that woman looks familiar, I'm sure I have seen her somewhere', then hours/days later going 'Omg that was what's her name'.

I agree with this. I only show parts of my face, enough for them to get a rough idea but nowhere near my whole face.

And I'm the same where I don't go stalking other ladies profiles as there's no reason for me to. I'm a local girl with set rates and services who happens to be very selective about who I meet with so only interested in who walks through my own door after they've got past my booking procedure. I couldn't give a shit what other escorts do but as explained in my earlier posts....there are all sorts of reasons why you might find yourself on other ladies profiles, the most common ones for me are contacting local girls to give them the heads up of a threatening dangerous client OR if a client contacts me through the site then I will check out who they've seen before as it gives me an idea of compatibility.

A couple of the girls I see around town regularly stick out like a sore thumb, not necessary for he right reasons. I won't say why as I don't like to be mean or judgemental and one of the girls I seen last week looked exactly like her pics whereas the other 2 had no makeup on what so ever so looked completely different from their pics but I still knew it was them.

Well, apparently members complained and AW deleted my profile without asking for any proof, explanation, anything.

Yes but do you have any actual proof this is the reason, the people who supposedly complained could have said anything.

As I said before not showing your face isn't against their rules so its obviously been something else.

I was in a pub last year with family on a night out and copped for a guy staring at me and he came over and said 'your so n so arnt you, can I book you for tonight'  I wasn't too happy!

I've had clients/potential clients message to say they saw me in Tesco, etc which does freak me out a little but the worst is I must have a doppelganger in the area because a few guys have said they saw me around in places I definitely wasn't that day - one guy said he saw me working in a shoe shop and was going to go up and say hi, well I don't have a civvy job and I told him just how inappropriate it would be to go up to a random woman and say you saw them on adultwork - shop workers get enough sexual harassment as it is without someone coming up and basically calling them a prostitute! Another guy saw "me" and described an outfit I was apparently wearing that I have never owned, and walking down a street that I wasn't anywhere near at the time. I've not seen my doppelganger around myself, but plenty of guys seem to have seen her, whoever she is!
