I was broken up with because of escorting (in spite of him knowing it was my intention to do this job before we even got together). We are teenagers though so it makes sense, he couldn't handle it etc and there were other factors. I'm really into politics and that kind of thing, so one of the first things I'll figure out in a friend is their political stance and then I'll probably get to their opinion on prostitution eventually. I generally don't seem to attract people that aren't open-minded, probably because you need to be fairly open-minded to deal with me.
My "pool" is already small because I'm introverted and don't socialise much, but within my pool is a bunch of left-wingers who mostly will be in favour of decriminilisation.
That's a start, but it doesn't say much for how many of them would actually be able to deal with dating a prostitute. Everyone that knows about me knows I only intend to do it until my "real" career, but everyone also knows that my "real" career is about fifteen years of study away. I feel that by announcing my job, I immediately turn some people off that would have been interested in me had I not said it. I suppose it's a good way to weed the idiots out, but there are a lot of idiots! Not that I really think not wanting to date a prossie makes you an idiot, I do understand. As lonely as I do feel and as much as I crave intimacy, I like the money more.
