I started at 52 & thought, "There's no way in hell anyone's going to be interested in someone MY age...".

I was so very wrong! The old guys love us bc we're not 22. The young guys love us bc they get that *air quote* MILF experience.

I am thrilled to report I was wrong lol.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I haven't tried VS yet but make a profile in AW. It's the biggest site in the UK.

First, welcome to the club, SJ (and FYI, I am a 43-year-old whore of nearly 4 years).
Secondly, for tips about offering incalls, I will pm (private message) you.
Thirdly, to help yourself stay safe, I recommend the following:
1) Client Eye app.  This has been developed by an escort who presents it in "Spamming in the Lion Den".  When someone with a warning against their number contacts you, the warning is flagged.  The warnings come from WGs (working girls, that is) who have uploaded them.  In addition, the app also contains many-to-most of the warnings posted here on SAAFE (which are listed at https://saafe.info/main/warnings-wasters/)
2) the Mr Number app
3) the TrueCaller app
4) the National Ugly Mugs website, specifically the phone number checker at https://uknswp.org/um/safety/number-check/  They have an email  address checker too.
6) the Hollie Guard app.
7) the Suzy Lamplugh Trust offers many further apps and self-defence tools

Welcome from another Mature Escort

My advice is never for any reason tell any real names or where you live to anyone

Clients can be very friendly and gossip not realising they are passing on your real name and information when they should not.

Never put up real face photos if you can help it they will be posted in places you never knew existed

Adult - Work verification photos are copied and posted on some sites even if you tick the box for privacy 

Hi SJ

My 2nd time round and now I’m at the mature end of the scale at 45. As mentioned already guys enjoy the experience we bring and the confidence. My advice, as well as looking at all the safety sites ugly mugs etc, read read and read as much as you can here of SAAFE. The information and advice is invaluable, not to mention the support!

Feel free to contact me via DM if you need anything.

Enjoy you new venture

Hi SJ, welcome to the forum and the industry. I was 57 when I started five years ago. I first started offering in calls in a hotel two or three days a week but realised the money I was spending out in a hotel would easily pay rent for a flat. After a few months I  took the plunge and found my ideal flat.
It means I can be far more flexible and where I was restricted to those particular days in the hotel I can be available much more. Giving me far more freedom.
And at 62 have no plans to give up my flat yet.

Hi SarahJayne! (Awww I'm getting Doctor Who vibes!)

I'm in my late 40s, nowhere near your area so can't advise on hotels. If you haven't already I would suggest setting up a profile on Adultwork. Viva can be good in some areas but has a MASSIVE amount of timewasters. Also consider UKAdultzone, My Local Escorts, Escort Guide, and Friday Ad.
