I have been contacted by email by a lady looking for advice on how to set her self up as an escort. Do any of you mind giving advice to a new lady or do you prefer not to?

I just feel a bit uncomfortable with people thinking because I am an escort that I don't mind giving advice. I guess if it goes tits up for her  I don't want to be blamed for encouraging her.

Any suggestions? What would you say to her?

Id direct her to SAAFE and advise her to have a good read on all the threads afterall you don't know who "she" is.
Any and everything an escort needs to know is here all SHE needs to do is apply herself to reading the threads. 
I can't be doing with hand holding and guiding newbies, I learnt everything myself nobody showed me anything, this can be a tough business and not for everyone so when she reads SAAFE she make up her own mind if its suitable for her.

I do get this from time to time and I feel a little like Lynx does on the matter.While I don't mind giving peer group advice on a forum like saafe I really don't have the time to sit giving individual advice to someone I don't know from Adam who is either new to this or thinking of doing it.It is a little cheeky to expect it really.After all when someone is setting up a small business say selling things like car parts do they contact other sellers to ask how to go about it?
Most advice is available on the internet such as where to advertise and what sort of rates people charge if people invest the time into doing some research.I mananged to find most info myself (and sites like this as well)by googling etc.
As mentioned as well I don't feel comfortable advising someone else of what I get up to and how I do things as what I do may not work for them and the person asking could literally be anyone!Better to refer them to this site I think and they can get a few opinions and perspectives.

There's also no way of knowing if the person is female, and genuinely interested in selling sexual services.

Could be anyone, and for any reason including wanting to obtain personal information or simply have a laugh.

Every request I have like this I just direct them to SAAFE.

Hilariously, I get about one a year wanting to "sit in" on one of my escort bookings.

That wouldn't be weird at all...   

Yes I've had this too. Maybe let them peek out of the wardrobe during a booking?

I directed her to Saafe, she is a few hundred miles from me, but aye lol I see what you mean too. Ireland is not exactly a hot spot of clients anymore, and I certainly don't make a fortune here, nor does any other escort I know of, well outside of Dublin anyway

I've had couples book me for the purpose of 'picking my brains' on how the female of the 2 can become an escort....

I had a couples booking where she wanted to feel my breast implants, she was considering getting her tits done and they wanted to look and touch before they decided. Very strange
