Title: Should I return to SW?
Post by: Lisa.Leeza on 17 December 2016, 02:34:11 am
I am thinking of returning to escorting. I retired 10 years ago. I am a bit older 50. I am recently separated and thinking of ways to get myself self supporting. I look better now than I have in a while. Got in shape and lost weight. Any mature escorts have any advice?

Hi

I am in the same age bracket and was new to escorting 3 years ago but I have been surprised at how many bookings I get even though I do not see men under 35 I still have at least one booking every day I work so I would say go for it

Good luck

There is work for ladies of all shapes sizes and ages. I'm 'mature' for want of a better word some ladies start marketing themselves like that in their late 20s!

I don't think there's any specific advice just market yourself the way you want to and take the plunge.

In my experience, the men I have met prefer older escorts but they like them to be in good shape so sounds like you are going to have a good response x

My friend is 55 and is still very very busy. She could easily pass for late thirties - early forties and she look fabulous op
We were both in London 2 weeks ago for a photo shoot as we were sharing the shoot and she cleared over a grand working till 7pm and she charges ?80 / ?130 in one day
age is irrelevant i think personally it's down to how you feel &  look

Yes because not all guy's want a young 'un, alot of older lonely gentleman have said that they can't get the same kind of conversation with a 25 year old SW that they could get from a 45+ year old, you'll probably also get alot of young guy's wanting a MILF type.

I agree ,  my friend markets herself as a milf she has gorgeous photos both professional and selfies  and a well written profile ans she  is generally always pretty busy wherever she goes including places that a lot of people say are dead , would never go back , she absolutly cleans up. she gets the odd crap day but generally she is on the ball

Go for it. I was around 53 when I started whoring and worked till I was in my 60's.

There is work for everyone and many guys prefer the more mature lady. I know I was never short of work.

My friend mentions nothing about Sex in her AW profile, she has obviously ticked sexual services on likes list, and everything about 'a sensual time with a nice chatty woman' and she hardly gets timewasters whereas my profile had alot of sex mentions & I had a fair few timewasters; it just goes to show much marketing yourself really works. After seeing her success for dinner dates & overnight's I was tempted to put my real age (35) on my profile rather than the 31 I used; in saunas I desperately wanted to be younger & on AW its the complete opposite!!

Hear hear. I know quite a few young 'uns who either like the mature lady OR the EVEN MORE mature lady. As in they are actively seeking age 60 or 70+ ladies.

Actually thinking about my friend doesn't either . She also gets a lot of overnights. And dinner dates
Her profile mentions nothing overly  obvious  about sex , more stuff like stimulating , sensual erotic fun filled time. 
She uses  words like  chatty friendly relaxed  interesting, imagine indulge yourself,  escape  , she has no topless photos either hers are either very glamourous looking lingerie,  fur coats and stockings & high heels or natrual by the swimming pool on holiday in a bikini
I think it helps that she talks like Eliza Dolittle so totally at odds with her profile but it really works for her .as she comes across warm and funny on the phone 

I don't think I  mention the word sex ( I think ) will need to check 😄  but although it's obvious that I do offer sex  I don't say stuff that's  majorly OTT stuff 
I had new photos of me in some latex dresses and boots and I only put them up last week and I have been in and out of that dress & boots like a yo yo 3 times yesterday by 2pm lol
but like my friend I rarely get a time waster or no show
My last proper no show was in September although im in heathrow this week so bound to get some 😄
So preparing myself for them .
 
Another lady said to me the other day she removed the word naughty from her profile and it instantly cut down on a type of client she didn't want to see .

 interesting how a few words can change the clients  perception of you and the type of client you get

Sounds much like my pal's profile although admittedly I don't like overnights because I can't handle giving a client my undivided attention for that long, the money of course is great but there are more disadvantage's in overnights in my personal opinion; You never get a proper sleep as they end up touching you up and this is even if sleep was arranged pre-booking!!

When I get back on AW (had a break so feel better) I'm going to amend my profile because I actually prefer more 'therapy/counselling' type bookings to sex, sex, sex although just don't want to be a Therapist ALL night!! 1 hour is quite enough thanks x

Speaking of AW profiles for the more mature escort...mine is very 'sparse'/discrete...and I just say that I am attractive and very friendly. I rarely get TW's. I seem to attract an older, OK kind of client. When we speak about AW, they generally say that they like the fact my profile seemed a bit classy and some of the 'in your face' profiles (all boobs and ass) are off-putting to them. I think men like a bit of mystery. I think that's what turns them on more. I don't attract chavvy young men at all.

Title: Re: Should I return to SW?

Also, I think, never underestimate that a lot of men are nervous about seeing escorts (some shake!) and this is why I think they may be attracted to an older lady as they probably think she will be kind and more approachable (even if she isn't haha)

Thats what I think it is; tbh I couldn't be bothered with lots of dinners & overnights as they start getting attached & thinking its "real" when its just all about the sex so what would they be like if it was dinner, sex and an overnight??? well with me anyway.

A good point.  I will be removing "naughty" tonight. ... :)  I always have this fear of having to work till 60/70 (essentially till I die lol) but I realise there are ladies who are happily doing it...

Like I said a friend of mine said she removed that word and it magically reduced the type a clients  she didn't want to see any more
I think it's really crazy & weird but also very interesting how just one word can do that

Lol...I have never used that word to describe anything I do but a couple of months back I got a text that went like this:

CLIENT: Hi I'm staying at xxxx hotel & I'd like a 1 hour booking with you at 9pm but you're better to text back as my wife may be around...Oh yeah I'm soo naughty!!!

Omg....

In all honesty the picture I get in my mind of a client using the word 'Naughty' is a posh guy over the age of 70 who is a retired History or English teacher & wear's very short short's, white socks pulled right up to the lower calf & horrid brown brogues!! He also is patronising & always puts his hands behind his back when he stand's up!!! lol I have a very vivid imagination tbf 😁😁😁

The last few posts aren't exactly much help to the OP tho are they just a wee bit off topic.

Completely agree with Shewolf a lot of guys are nervous and feel more comfortable seeing a mature lady. A lot of my gents appreciate a well written profile that's not in your face crude, that kinda thing intimidates and repells them.

They are attracted by maturity, looking for conversation and an experience rather than wham bam sex

SW sex worker
 OP original poster

I dont think the last few post were that off topic just giving the OP different ideas
. I mentioned, my friend who is in her fifties  but very very busy and successful as the OP was asking about older escorts and work availible then others joined in about themselves and profiles and how they are written to attract certain clients which although might not work for everyone its something useful to think about when starting out such as what sort of clients you want to attract .

 Like using certain words or not using certain words

As the OP is mature escort and possibly new to AW it's could be useful to her in order to attract certain clients AW is hard enough  to set up a profile on so every little thing helps I think . If she hasn't worked for 10years then a lots has changed in the sex industry in 10 years

One thing I would say to the OP  is that If you last worked 10 years  ago you might find it a huge shock when you come back to work ,which seems ridiculous to say as its sex not rocket science but it's definatly changed . Friends that I know that have returned even after a year or two out if it can't get over how quickly some things changed .

From my memory  the internet was really only just starting to kick off 10years ago for the sex industry advertising it used to be adds newspapers like trade it,loot, & the sport but the internet changed the prostitution for both for escorts and punters as  it made it more accessible to both

.  Also services that were often classed as extras  are now offen seen as a pretty standard services by many punters like owo & kissing.

It is amazing how much it has changed. I only had a newspaper ad back when I advertised.


Lol same here , I started off by advertising the the local paper,& trade it back then it cost over ?150  -?200 a week for the advertising in the local papers over 10 years ago . 
the Internet advertising has made things relatively cheaper to work  though and way easier to work for most of us . It's probably encouraged ladies who would never have even thought of SW to start as set cost can be minimal

Ive been on AW since 2007 advertising  and my friend and I were one of the first in our city to get a website back in 2004  and we made a absolute fortune from working off our websites as very few escorts had a website back then prices were much higher and half hours were practically unheard of on websites
In fact I remember a few escort friends point blank refusing to get one , or get pictures taken because the " internet  & escort websites wouldn't take off " famous last words lol
Mobile phones were stupid prices to buy and texting was over 50p per text lol & ?1.50 per minute to call anyone and Apple was just a fruit that you ate when hungry .

   Advertising on viva St actually reminds me of the local papers the occasional gem of a client but a lot of numptys calling non stop
The best thing about advertising in the papers was that my TW radar was honed to almost perfection

I think you will be fine OP because if you worked from adds in the papers that's like a bootcamp for escorting 😄

I started SW on my 57th birthday. I will be 60 next year and I am turning bookings away. I have lovely guys from late 20s to 70s with enquiries from even younger, although I don't see them. There is a market for the mature lady, most definitely.

That's heartening Carnal Carmel as I have every intention of continuing once my son leaves home.  I am 53 now and not short of work.  By the time he leaves home I will be 59 and have every intention of continuing with it until it is either nursing home or I drop down dead lol.  That is because I have no private pension beyond my usual state pension and no bereavement monies due from anybody either.  Long live sex work!!

58 and still going strong, when I first started I was advertising in contact mags and punters used to have to write a letter to you via a post box number...lol

Then it was expensive newspaper ads where you paid ?170 a week for 3 lines four days a week for a very generic ad you couldn't state your age, your hair colour, your size or anything really besides offering a massage and your landline telephone number, back then you had to prove who you were to the newspaper by providing them with utility bills etc you also had to have a landline phone number in your ad (pre mobile) so back then you would have to sit by your landline all day  to get bookings.

Punters had to use telephone boxes luckily I had one at the top of my road which I knew the number of so I used to have them call me from it telling me its telephone number  to prove they were actually there, if the phone box was out of order I couldn't work.lol.

SW's today don't know how easy escorting has become with the internet and mobiles, the downside is there are now thousands and thousands of escorts where before we were few and far between, back then we didn't have a problem with timewasters and if they liked you they were very loyal and regular.

Oh the good old/bad old days.. ;D

Oh god I remember just about all of that
Expensive adds  taking in utility bills to prove who you were making sure that they called from the phone box
In a way it's much much easier today actually loads cheaper as well to work I think

That's why im always  like WTF when people say AW is expensive or a website is expensive
AW is generally for me a tenner a day which inc AT , local search & phone number showing
But it's targeted advertising to a certain area whereas the papers could be national

Compared to advertising in the papers AW cost wise the internet is very very cheap

True Paris some ladies new to the work have no idea how it used to be as well as being expensive we had wait for the the newspaper ad to go live and sit and wait by the landline no going out shopping or doing other things like we can now working with mobiles. Good thing about the internet is everything is instant and punters can see exactly what they are getting and what services are on offer.

This subject does hit home for me pretty strong.  Even if people do have some pensions (I don't) people do seem to be working well after their retirement age.  We ought to celebrate "silver years" more.

lol it wasn't that bad ,but you certainly didn't have the options we have now that's why im alway a bit 😡 when people moan about the cost of advertising or time wasters , not reading the profile  stuff like that don't bother me & go right over my head because this way of working is so much easier , and cheaper as well. It wasn't that long ago maybe 10 years but things have changed so much it's unreal
It might also be why I rarely get no shows as I honed my instincts through working off the adds in the papers to bloody perfection .lol

For me how I've worked over the years...
30+ years ago....Written letters only contact mags...
25 Years ago....Phone contact mag's + expensive newspaper Ads and a land line.
20 Years ago....Expensive Newspaper Ads and a Mobile phone.
10 years ago to present day...Internet and mobile phone.

Basically you cant compare working today with how it was working pre internet and mobile phone, now its so cheap and easy to advertise (sometimes too easy) to set yourself up with an online profile and get instant financial returns, any woman can now decide to become a SW as it can be set it all up in a day.

I'm thankful for the experiences and the skills I've gained over the years as I think it serves me well today.
