I'm curious.  Why would you think it weak to politely turn someone down if it was something you didn't want to do?  Surely it would show strength of charactor and that you're not a push over.

This is a bit of a generalisation and there will always be plenty of people that are different but ..

I think perhaps some girls underestimate how much men think women 'want it'. When men have high testosterone levels they will have sex with anything with a pulse (even other men sometimes despite not being gay) as they are so frustrated. The problem is they think that women suffer the same frustration and that they are offering to do you a favour by offering you the use of their manhood. The problem being that generally women are not as desperate as men and have the luxury of choosing the kind of guy that has the right looks or personality (hopefully both). Being asked to pay for it is offensive to them because it reminds them that they are not the super stud they wish they were and it is the woman with the upper hand not them.

I suppose the best way of thinking about it would be if you were working in a parlour where you were in a line-up being chosen buy guys and you were always last to get chosen. This is how rejected a guy will feel when he is considered so unattractive that he has to pay to get chosen.

A man's world is a very conflicted one, on the one hand they want a girl that looks like a superstar and performs like a porn star but at the same time genuinely enjoys themselves and only has eyes for him. You have probably noticed how so many of the men you see are keen for you to show you are enjoying what you do, not just doing it for money. It is part of their self esteem to think that they can do something that excites you.

As for would I do it for free of corse I would as there is a difference in the motivation, If I was going out to look for my own gratification I wouldn't just head of with the first guy that asked I would be choosing one that was going to give me something I wanted. Some times we are lucky and get a punter that ticks all the right boxes but to be brutally honest most are not the kind of guy that would send us weak at the knees and they and us know that it is being paid that makes it possible to move straight to the fun bit.

I think you are absolutely spot on there. Men are very confused because they get conflicting messages. Books seem to add to it, like the sex myth one from Brooke Magnanti recently which I must admit I haven't seen, but does seem to overstate the case. Until I started doing this job I hadn't fully appreciated just how extremely frustrated some men can become. In some ways they hide it quite well only for it to raise its head when they are trying to chat someone up.

The idea of responding to a chat up line with a price list I find quite interesting. I'm not sure I have got the nerve to actually try it in public though. Maybe responding to someone being very persistent with a suggestion that it might have a price could possibly work. I'm sure it would work in certain situations. Just imagine if it became normal everywhere!

Got to agree with Dexi and a few other ladies, your reaction seems a little antagonistic.  Dunno just seems a bit strange to get that indignant about someone showing an interest.  As for other examples, a random stranger would not asked someone for medical or accounting advice unless they are aware of their professions.  Since most of us probably don't walk around with a massive scarlet letter embroidered to our clothes, how would a guy know when meeting us in a social setting? 

Dunno the context of what these guys say to you but while I get compliments and get chatted up, I seem to not get outright crass proposals.   

If i was in a bar and i fancied a guy and chatted him up and he openly gave me a price list id be horrified!!!

civy life is VERY different to escorting all you have to do is say no thanks im taken not hand them a price  list as many will be dead against escorts

They need to learn to not be so gross and openly ask someone that. Then they won't get a harsh response back.

As for the police, I can deny everything Their word against mine

Sadly this may not be the case, there may be witnesses.  You just never know who is listening to our conversations or what covert system the establishment may have running and what it can pick up.

Just ignoring the guys seems the easiest way to deal with these silly men.  When it happens to me I just laugh in their faces and ignore.

Had one today, apparently, I have no honour, disease ridden slag! Nice! 

Is that from a guy you met outside work hours?
