Starting escorting at 40?
« on: 07 July 2013, 04:29:33 am »
Hi, I'm a newbie here but have read through all of your excellent website. However, could you give me some advice about whether I would get work at 40? I don't consider myself pretty, but I look fairly young for 40. My biggest concern is that I don't have perfect skin. I have two small scars that show even with make-up. Would this put clients off? Also, I think I would prefer to start with a reputable agency so I am protected by client screening. Can you point me towards any in the Essex area? I do drive. Thing is, I work nights so would be limited to weekends only. Would this be another problem? Thanks. x

I am 49 and not had any problems getting work so far. Sorry to be blunt but there is not a lot that puts men off and there are all sorts of tastes. Of corse most men prefer the vogue model if they can get that but there is a huge demand for all shapes and sizes. There are men that go for big girls, tiny petite girls, mature, barely legal, black, white, asian, you name it there is someone out there looking for you. Regarding scars I suppose if they are facial scars some men might be put off but otherwise I doubt they will notice.

The main thing is to be yourself and be honest about what your good features are. If you consider yourself fairly average looking then promote yourself as the girl next door. Just consider how to promote the positive features, don't try and be something you are not. For example if you are the quiet type then promote a girlfriend experience, or if you are the wild type that will ride him like a porn star then promote that.

Get yourself a phone just for the job and then you can easily switch it off when you are not working. No harm in sticking with your day job and just doing weekends or something to start with to get a feel for what you want to do.

Hi Sonja
Excellent points by MM, just get yourself a phone and do an ad on Adultwork.  With regards to an agency, im not sure about your area as im in Wales but they tend not too take anyone over 30 (that's what I found anyway) Im a curvy 14 so I was a def no-no to them lol However I do really well on my own with just a few ads around the internet.  Read up on here (its a god-send) and good luck hun!

Hi, Like Mrs Mischief says, there is a space for everyone in the business as there are many guys with many different tastes (thank goodness). 

I am quite a bit older than Mrs Mischief too (by quite a bit too) and I still get a lot of work.

What I would say is, you may have to go indie as, if I understand it right, agencies prefer the younger models, and by that I mean maybe up to 30 or 35 at a push.  Ive not had any dealings with agencies but Im going with what others have said over the years on the forum.

So you may not get any joy finding an agency that will take you but  you will get plenty of help to get you started as an indie.

I've got a busy family day ahead but Im sure someone will be along soon that may be able to help you more.

Good Luck Sonja and welcome to SAAFE.

Thank you everyone. I have read this site from cover to cover and about 70 pages of the forum and have learnt so much. This site is a godsend. I joined an agency when I was 20 and the first call was someone asking if I did blow jobs, anal, etc (what you call a TW) and he was so nasty it put me off. I think I am going to go indie and sign up with the sites mentioned on here to start with. I'll be honest about my tats and piercings (I'm a bit rockabilly). I get lots of attention from people when I'm out and have had a few one night stands, so why not get paid for it. It's fun. I would love a buddy though as I work in a big company and wouldn't want this to get out - there is no-one I want to tell what I'm doing. I'll post on your forum for buddies in Essex. Thanks again, guys. I feel that I am amongst friends with good advice and experience. xxx

It's easy to get hung up on imperfections but hey i'd say there is a brilliant market for 40s AKA Milfs. I'm very young looking other side of the spectrum and i've only ever had 1 guy turn around out the door thinking i was too young or something. I'm actually 22 but hey ho.

Infact in the UK the statistics are that MILF is the top searched pornography google it XD. So looks like i've got years of work to look forward to and you have nothing to worry about XD

Young or old it's all a bit daunting to begin with but you get your own set habits, routines, clients etc and it all starts to become, enjoyable, beneficial etcetc. Of course you will want to ask more, specific questions but fire away the girls of saafe are very useful.

One girl in the strip club i worked had had a large scar on her stomach, i don't know her story but she liked to put glitter paint on it rather than hide it which was odd but psht she made money so hey. I guess you have to be prepared for men to ask about your scars as long as you are comfortable with it or you can make up a fantasy story as we escorts like to tell porkies just to please the client huh.

And to end my essay... Have you tried microdermabrasion? It will get away small / Meduim scars although you do need to have some downtime as it will make your face break out in spots but then after that skins is very soft and scars are not as visible.

Thank you everyone for your comments and advice. I only wish this site had been around when I was in my 20s! I have been looking at microdermabrasion as the scars are small 'pox' scars so would be easy to get rid of. I like the idea of being very versatile as I can be the girl next door (light makeup), vamp (gothic) or in between. Whatever the client wants. I love dressing up so I think the versatility would be a selling point. I was out earlier and had a couple of guys come onto me so I don't think people would scream and run if they saw me! lol.
I have replied to someone who has pm'd me on the site as I could do with a bit of support for my first time. Hopefully we will get together. I'm a bit nervous of going off on my own to meet a stranger. I watch too many crime dramas! xxx

I started escorting in Feb this year.  I am nothing to write home about in the looks department and, so far, only had a profile on Adult Work but I have been getting bookings despite living in the middle of nowhere!

They are even coming back to see me again!

TBH I have had so much fun and enjoyed it that I really wish I had started years ago and didn't worry about what the neighbours would say etc etc   ::) ::)

Good luck with your new career!
