I'm sorry that you feel that way Strawberry. I have a friend who is 32 and sees nearly 5guys every day so I just don't understand it that's all.

My experience of 12 years is that a few years ago when I wanted ohhh let's say  6000 pounds for weeks work I would head over to Belfast or cork and make it it dead easy most of us who have worked in Ireland in those days will remember those times and and may they please please come back  this time last year Was the same up to December when it died because at Xmas time all the Xmas hookers come out in force diluting the market further  which is why I'm touring elsewhere ATM


50 euros was a tip not a fucking service  lol


Now I'm traveling half way around the world to make the same money  and the weather is fantastic ad the clients are lovely I'm a happy bunny and trying to extend my flight to stay a bit longer fuck Xmas I'm not bothering this year

 When the ash cloud happened a few years ago and I got stuck in Ireland for a extra week I came home and Blew 3 k on a fucking watch lol and still had thousands left over
I paid for my car in cash in a paper bag lol 15000 in a paper bag full of 50 notes  this was when business was busy
 5 holidays a year Thailand Mexico Maldives turkey Egypt and still have plenty of cash
Why because it was busy 8 10 plus a day was average  2 would have been slit my wrist  time

Those were the days when being a prossie was worth it
When you didn't ave to take every call / booking because hey ho there was another one in a bit



It' still is worth it however times change and you have  to move with them
I still make a pretty good living in Bristol  but  I find s that its more spread out. Whereas before I could do mon -fri I now work longer hours and nip back and forth on the weekends
The money is there its just harder work to get

Kylie you only want to do 2 a day that's great if you get 2 every day  however if you wanted to do say 5  or 7 a day every day would you have enough business for that  if not then really your experience on quite or not s not really in line with others that work full time or see more clients
Or have been working throughout the past 5 years and Seen a drastic change


2 a day to me would be  be dire if I was doing only 2 a day I would be re thinking my work 100 percent because 2 is to close to none a day

when you want to do say 5 a day but only do two I'm sure your posts will have a lot more sympathy  in them

Fair points but I don't know how 2 a day or a few a week plus an overnight so say ?1000 a week is a bad wage or die? lol

You work hard yes good for you. I don't want to work hard. I live comfortably and go away every year and can buy nice things but I just feel no need to kill myself earning mega bucks where it would take over my life. Plus I just don't have the mental capability to be fucking/sucking that many men I thong I would go insane and then the money would mean nothing.

Everybody has a different approach to escorting. Some do it part time, others full time. All depends on your financial needs, your goals, stamina, your love for willies etc...etc... And there's absolutely nothing wrong with choosing what works for you. Some are happy with seeing 10 clients a day,  some ( like me) would die if we had to see more than 3 a day. Others are happy to see 2 clients a month. What works for misskylie would never work for paris and vice versa. Again: Nothing wrong with that. The problem arises  when you're not able to choose. That's when burnout happens and you end up hating the job.

I'd agree with that. I think quality of life and free time is more significant than simply earning loads of cash, the beauty of any kind of escorting has to be the independence and free time it affords you being able to earn a reasonable amount of cash for a comparatively small number of working hours. I'd say most people would consider 1k a week to be a more than comfortable amount to live on. I'd resent doing it if it was a case of feeling I had to see a huge number of men each week, to me that'd kill it.

I agree too - I'm not particularly motivated by money and the abundance of free time to do whatever I like is far more important to me.

I go away on tour twice a month for a week or ten days and work like a dog, and whilst I used to make myself keep a few bookings to tick over when I get home I can barely be arsed now because I just don't need to; I've got so sick of people ringing and asking for same day bookings this week I've pretty much given up answering the phone at all as all the sensible folk know to email me and give me proper notice (although the snow has seen three cancellations here so far today and for tomorrow, and it isn't gone yet). I'm getting to resent letting strangers into my home more and more and since I'm not particularly extravagant on a day-to-day basis I'd rather put away the regular savings I do every month and just have a nice comfortable life :).

I didn't say it was a bad wage however if you have been use to seeing xxxxx clients and then drop to x its a big change

Before I started touring to ireland ect my earning for Bristol were around 2000  2500 upwards a week week no late nights occasional weekends ect now it probably 1500 1800  but working longer ect
I made plans when the recession hit so that I could do less and still be ok and now ave no rent ect mortgages so rhe extra money I was making was often getting swallowed up in rents and bills ect is no more so I don't have to earn xxxxxx   Xxxx is



But the 2a day thing however I'm talking from a touring prospective as well when 2 a day is crap 

At home in Bristol I tend to do 2 4 on average but I really don't have major overheads
So yes it's a good wage

1k aweek is a excellent wage however I'm just a greedy cow and do genuinely like touring

I used  to be  motivated by money far far more than I am now ( hard to believe) but I am more laid back when I work at home and I am happy to do 2 - 3 and more come in but I don't think I can't do them ect if i am able to I will


But from a touring point of view when you have just put the best part of 6k into a tour for a month  2 a day won't cut it so I guess that's where I am biased on working hard

That's my point when people are saying 2 day is fine then it is if your working from home no extra rent bills ect

But if your touring then your only going to come home with 1k give or take which after working long hours. Dealing with all the crap isn't worth it if you can make the same at home

Like you Sam I remember when Belfast was a 100 percent gold mine for 5 k a week profit and that was really the case until this year

Things can change very quickly overnight in some cases which is why I say that 2 days is to close to  none a day even if its a good wage



Belfast and Ireland is alway dad in dec it was last year hence why I'm not there this year
I made a note to myself not to go there in dec

At the beginning of escorting I was all for it no matter if they woke me up. But now feeling more settled am more than happy to see a few a day at least. I agree that the quality of life is far more important instead of chasing the money race.

I didn't really cover this in my previous post. No Paris even if I wanted 5 guys a day every day it wouldn't happen because I only advertise on aw anyway. Some days it would be possible but probably only half the time maybe not even half and I'll admit that. I'm usually guaranteed at least 1-2 bookings a day. However I will never want or strive to get more than that, even though many wont believe me because like I said 'I wouldn't possibly turn down the cash' but it's actually the truth.

Why would you actually consider not doing the job if you were only getting 2 bookings a day? As long as you won't touring say and didn't have other expenses?

Why would you actually consider not doing the job if you were only getting 2 bookings a day? As long as you won't touring say and didn't have other expenses?

As for some of us two a day would not cover the mortgage, house hold bills plus bills for a work property i.e rent and two lots of council tax, water rates, gas and electric as well as the normal cost of having a family.

As a single girl living at home??? I think you said, then you would be ok with two as you have no bills as such but once you have a family etc then things do change.
If I only saw 2 a day as I only work roughly 3 days a week I would not even be able to afford my work flat let alone my own house and all the expenses I have i.e I have specialist care providers, plus when my condition flares up I also have to pay for someone to come to my home and do my every day things like having a bath or cooking or house work so if I did not see lots of clients on my days I do work I would never have enough to cover my expenses especially if I had a long period off work due to my illness.

I need on average a minimum of 4 clients a day for the days I work and thankfully I am still seeing around that amount so am keeping my head above water but I have seen a drastic change as this time last year I was earning around ?900 a day every day and was still turning people away as I could nto fit them in and I was doing a 5 day week.  Now I push it to get 4 clients a day and today only had 3 so have to hope I can work tomorrow as my bills are due and I do not want to use my savings to cover them
Truth is far more important than what one wants to hear. With truth there is no us and them or colour or religion there is just fact
