I think a lot of them are just tightening their belts full stop!!!!

Down here in South Yorkshire a lot of the girls are not doing too gud I'm afraid. Let's hope things pick up soon.

Agree fully, though looking at the general job market things seem to be improving slowly, but the government cutbacks and general doom and gloom reports of the media is making everyone skittish and reluctant to spend.

The requests for half hour booking seem to be on the rise again or maybe it's just me?

It also doesn't help that the market is being flooded by 'cheap' often easternblock ladies, (ducks in anticipation of being called racist) Just my opinion based on chatting to clients.
Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the ground in the morning, Satan shudders and says: "Oh shit, she's awake!"

Most of mine are half hours now.

Actually I agree with Cassie (also ducks head). It's not even about race, it just seems that most of the Escorts new on Adultwork in my area are charging really low prices, which I think drives the guys expectation of what they are willing to pay down  >:( They aren't fake profiles as they get proper feedback.Of course ladies can charge whatever they like, their choice but I wish they would realise that if they set their prices to average then they could make more money - instead they seem to think that undercutting everyone else is the only way to get bookings. Ok, sorry rant over  :)

Been relatively busy today though - even with a MAJOR football event in my neck of the woods

So fingers crossed

Sigh...I've even revisited my website to check I've typed my phone number correctly...
I did have a guy ring today from Ireland for a session tomorrow, my fingers are crossed
that he turns up because all the calls I get from there have been timewasters.
I'm sure things will improve soon.

I am in utter and desperate panic right now....

I came to a town in which I had about a dozen responses. Normally...this would indicate me having no issue getting work. But no, about 20 replies have been cancels and no-shows. I thought I had one this morning, but he flaked. Last night, flaked. Earlier that day, flaked. The day before. And the day before. And the day before. ALL NO-SHOWS  :'(  >:(

Last night, I was so hungry....because I had no money, that I had to go to a resturaunt nearby and ask if they could please give me something to eat because I'm from out of town and have nothing. 

I just get so frustrated to end up in these situations, but Im doing what I thought was right at the moment...and I advertised for 3 weeks prior to coming out here. This exact same thing happened last year in Chicago, but this time its even worse because I dont even have a dime to eat  :(  The 5th level of hell is right here in America...

Hi American pie, that sounds bad -  I just wondered if you just tour around all the time, or if you have established yourself in a particular city or area as well and established some regular clients?

Hi American pie, that sounds bad -  I just wondered if you just tour around all the time, or if you have established yourself in a particular city or area as well and established some regular clients?

well, all the markets that I was based at just wasn't doing it for me. I did however have a regular in a couple of cities, but I always end up moving away because of reasons related to escorting, and personal decisions. I mean, I didn't see it as something to really be left staying for.

The number of cancels I've been getting has been unbelievable. Its all due because Im in some hick, country dirt poor state that I was mislead lied to by 3 different escorts to believe it was worth going to. Not to mention the numerous emails I recieved prior to getting here. I get here, and everyone except 1 guy has cancelled or no showed on me. Its left me without anything...no food, wasted hotel costs, am just feeling completely destitute right about now. I had spoke with 2 guys yesterday saying they just wanted a massage, but were nervous/had a bad experience. I explained to them and sent my reviews to them that I was not out to get them. Both still flaked. These people call themselves God worshipping people, but in actuality they are a bunch of pussy-ass closeted, broke, insecure White trash from the catacombs of hell that disguise themselves as a human being! The stuff they are doing is malicious behavior, I wouldn't wish this type of vindicitveness on my worst enemey...well, they are my worst enemy!

A break is on the way, as I called to cancel an insurance that I purchased, and they think Im going to wait the normal 3-5 days for it to process....as if I am not literally starving with no one to turn to right now!

It's definately a tough time, does not help that the media constantly report all the doom and gloom and make people very reluctant to spend any money! Regular clients have been my saving grace over the last few months! For me things have been picking up though and hopefully leading up to Christmas it is going to be busy for everyone  :)
