Hi everyone! I'm Alice, from just outside Manchester.
After a good few weeks researching and preparing, I am ready to begin escorting. So I'm a Proper Newbie.  :-* None of my IRL friends are in the adult business - not as far as I know, anyway - so I've been immersing myself in forums like this (including local & national punter forums) for advice, support, and some laughs too. I launched my adultwork profile tonight. Eek! Excited.

Hello All!

I'm Darlene and I've been at this in Southern California for two and a half years now. About 3 months into being a provider I realized that I  needed another working girl to talk to regarding appointments, work related issues, tips and just to vent really.

Where I live I've found that the overall vibe amongst providers is extremely competitive and downright catty at times.  I've been reading threads for hours and I am so impressed with the honesty and overall sense of sisterhood that is displayed!  8)

Although I don't live in the UK, and I may be looking in the wrong places ???, I have yet to find any U.S. based support forums that are as open and helpful as Saafe!

Thanks for having me,
Darlene  :)

Hi everyone! My name's D (for Diablo/Diamond). I'm 23 years old, transgender/androgynous/genderqueer/whatever you wanna call it, and I live in America. I've been a sex worker for about two months now, so I'm still getting a hang of things. I like it enough so far! But I don't have anyone to talk to about my job ? I only know one other person in RL who has worked this life. My older brother and older sister know what I do, but that's it, and they're accepting enough, but they don't understand what I do and I know they want me to quit my job. I know most of you guys are in the UK, so I hope it's OK that I'm here!

Wazzup Saafe!!! Hello other Newbies!!!!

I just popped my escort cherry the past week (in Manchester) - took me a lot of nerve and at one point in time I actually did turn back. But I went through with it and so thrilled and relieved and proud of myself! And my reward is posting here ;)

A MILLION THANKS AND HATS OFF TO WHAT Y'ALL DO! I would never have managed without the information I found here, would have ended up chasing down men without hotel booking info or getting into some guy's car for a quickie.

AND I now have a huge appreciation for the effort and skill that must go into long term escorting. It seems like a lot of hard work. But, hey, I'm not gonna complain cause it's nice to be paid what I'm worth for a change :)

Hello everyone! 

My name's Layla and I am REALLY new, I haven't even seen my first client yet.  I am working in Rome, Italy.  I just posted my ads online and I've been getting quite a few calls but I have to tell everybody I'm only available on Monday - it seems here in Rome punters like to call and come straight away rather than book a certain time.

I'm 25 and I've been thinking about this for a LONG time, I've done a lot of research and I've been an avid reader of saafe, [removed - we don't discuss other forums here :)] but today I'm still a bag of nerves after taking the first calls. 

Basically I've got a really good degree and I'm quite clever, speak 3 languages, love travelling... but I've hated every job I've done until now.  I almost became a lawyer and then I quit.  Then I worked in the "culture" field.  Then I worked organising events.  But I seriously hated all of it.  I used to organise parties for embassies and diplomats and when I was at the events I always got so much attention from all these old diplomats I thought... they must be lonely here in a foreign country, they move around every 4 years, etc... And it got me thinking about escorting.  I used to flirt with the guests at the event all the time - i just enjoyed it - and my boss was a bit annoyed.

I'm not money-mad, but I do need to survive and I think it must be paying more than my last job (I worked flat out all day for pittance) and although not as much as a high flying lawyer I couldn't stand those hours (my friend is a lawyer in London... jesus).

I love sex and I'm not really squeamish about anything.  I really hope this is going to work out for me.  It could really be what I was made to do! 

Fast forward 6 months or so and here I am.  I'm so nervous.  How did you all feel when you posted your first ads and took your first calls?  I feel so strange.

The only major downside is I do have a boyfriend who would go absolutely mad if he found out and I think that would really be the end of us.  But I have thought about it and I think at this point in my life I would really value some more independence (at the moment on my current earnings I basically rely on him for a lot) and I'd like to do something I enjoy, which also leaves me enough time in the day to pursue my passions (of which there are many and I feel I've neglected basically all of them since university, running after a 9-5 ((read 9-7/8pm in most cases)) ). 

Sorry for the long post and the double brackets. 

IN SHORT: Hi I'm new!

He :FF
llo, 
Hey ladies I have just joined. I have been viewing saffe for aboutna month now,  found it doing advice search

I just started touring with an agency and I am concerned. As an independent I am use to receiving a certain amount of calls and im not getting clients now. The person booking my calls is my only contact for the company.  I did research them online,  but the more I think of it I become more worried. I have done at most 3 calls a day. I did no calls my first night 2nd 1 couple then I was told to make a deposit l had to take a cab and when I returned my manager/booking said in didn't deposit enough money and that she would have to speak with her manager to take any more calls. I asked was it a certain amount, and she did not answer me so I deposited all but enough to cover room.

No calls were answered sat, Sunday I saw 2, monday 3, tues2, wed3 :FF, thurd 1. Now I was told that I would be pulled out of this town early and go to another state tomorrow.  I have had several customers ask why I have not been responding to appointment request so I honestly don't believe that out of all the calls the ones she sent are the only to pass screening
i posted a fake add yesterday and I have over 60 messages l took pictures of my back side l mm have a jacket on not showing my face and upped the price. I have only been making enough to pay for the room and send deposit lm really not surd not if I should just quit or stick it out
is this a test,  and do agencies not usually do this in the beginning l really need some advice

Hi, I'm Sharon and I'm new to Escorting.  I wanted to start with social dating but having read through the pages on this site, I'm now thinking 'how na?ve can I be'?  Is there such a thing?  I've been contacted by this site strictly social after clicking on their add.  I was just about to give them ?199 for a six month membership.  I'm so glad I found this site.  Does anyone know if this company is a scam.  It sounds too good to be true.   ???  I hope I'm posting in the right place.

Having just read through the site I feel like such a 'numpty'.  There is no such thing a as social companion website.  And to think, I was just about to give over ?200.  Perhaps I'll go about it the more traditional way.
