Rachel: Looking for good dating
experience
My name is Rachel. I’m five-foot, seven-inches, 115
pounds, 34C-25-36, with short brown hair, brown sparkling
eyes, brilliant white teeth, beautiful smile and soft tanned
skin accompanied by a shy charm and sassy personality that
will rock your world.
I’ve
been an independent escort for a year and a half. I got into
this by accident. I went online to an AOL chatroom about picking
up escorts. My intention was to flame these perverts, but
instead I was fascinated. I had never heard of terms like
in-call and out-call. I said in the chatroom that I was an
escort. I played around with this as a secret fantasy and,
as I got more interested, I decided I would do it, but I figured
I would write a paper about it. I had no intention of doing
this more than one time. I’ve always been a conformist.
I don’t owe anyone a damn thing. There are people who
are going to try and judge me, but screw them. I’m not
ashamed of what I do. If I were, why would I do it? My plan
is to eventually open a salon. I never would want to be 50
years old and still doing this.
I’ve never worked for an agency,
though I have been approached by them. They say, “We
will drive you to your appointments.” I tell them I
have a car and can drive myself. Then they say, “Well,
we can protect you.” I reply, are you going to be in
the room with me? “No, but we’ll be waiting in
the car.” What good is that going to do me when some
psycho is cutting me into little bits? My attitude is I’m
doing 100 percent of the date, I’m keeping 100 percent
of the money.
When I’m at a hotel doing in-call,
to see me you’d think I was nothing but somebody’s
wife. I dress conservatively in business suits. I look like
I’m attending a convention at the hotel. A typical client
is married, in his mid-40s. I get a lot of CPA’s for
some reason. Most of them are very happy with their spouses
and can have great sex lives, but they just want some “strange.”
Honest to God, at first I thought men
were dirty dogs, but now it’s just how men are. I enjoy
this as much as they do. It’s fun. I can go seduce men
and make them do what I want. I’m naturally very dominant.
When you’re married, you gotta work for it. When they
come to me it’s a sure thing.
I’m real. I’m there to have
a hot time too. This is not a spectator sport. When I say
I expect a Boy Friend Experience, don’t expect me to
hop on top and do all the work. I prefer older men. Younger
men are a pain in the ass. Older guys are more established.
There’s a connection that goes beyond just the physical
and true friendships are made. The men I’ve met are
great. They treat me with respect and I enjoy their company.
The money I make isn’t bad either.
Kirsten:
The caregiver
I had very low self-esteem before I started in this business.
I never thought I would make it. I didn’t think I was
pretty enough. Didn’t think I had the body or the talent
to do it.This is a world that not too many people know about.
I am very blessed with this world. I feel I am blessed to
be part of this world. We have our families and we talk about
unconditional love. Our families are supposed to love us unconditionally,
right? But who judges us the most? Who hurts us the most?The
people I’m involved with in this world will never judge
me. They love me. There is a true love and a true bond here.
My clients treat me with more respect than any boyfriend,
any husband, has ever treated me. I’m treated with more
respect than I ever have before in my life. I have a very
special client who sees all of the girls. His wife found out
what he was doing. He was given the choice to give us up or
save his marriage. He chose us. He said, “I’m
not giving up the people that love me and care about me.”
I became very attached to someone and
he became attached to me. He knows he can never see me as
an escort again. I have a wall around my heart because I’ve
been hurt too many times. It would take a lot for someone
who was not a client to get into my heart. I trust my clients.
I’ve been at this for six months and I’m very
highly regarded as an escort. My background is in the medical
field and that’s where I learned to be a caring person.
I’m a caregiver. Being in the medical profession you
have to be and I think that’s why I’m so good
at this job. That’s why my reviews are so high. God
put me on this earth to take care of others. I treat my clients
like I would my patients.
A younger woman—in her teens or
early ’20s—couldn’t handle this. They will
end up on drugs. It’s very easy for young people to
fall into the drug habit. Drugs are easy to get a hold of
when kids have this much money. They feel like stars. A young
girl sees this money and will think drugs will keep her going
to make more money. It’s a vicious cycle. For a man
this can become an addiction like gambling. It’s the
person inside you. For some men it’s a big thrill of
doing something bad. They describe it like it’s the
rush of cocaine. Personally, I’ve come to terms with
this life. A man is paying for my services, but does that
mean he’s cheating? I know he’s never going to
leave his wife. I don’t want him to leave his wife.
But if he goes out and has an affair, that’s cheating.
All I offer him is a little bit of happiness.
There are all different types of escorts.
There are some that portray themselves as the slut experience.
I don’t. I am a true escort. I’m your hidden girlfriend,
but you lay your money on the table when you walk out the
door. I have a real problem discussing fees. I know what $300
can buy. We make damn good money. Someone told me when I was
setting my fees, “Don’t you feel you’re
worth that much?” But it’s not what I am worth.
I don’t want to put a value on what I’m worth.
I know the going rate and in different
cities you have to charge that rate. In Florida it would be
hard. Florida is hard bodies where you can charge $500 and
you don’t even have to be full service. I don’t
want to think of myself as being a prostitute. A prostitute
will do anything for money no matter what. It’s the
money first, last and always. I want to think of myself as
being a escort.
Caroline:
It’s a job, NOT an adventure
I’m 26 and I’ve been in business for four years.
I resigned from my full-time job two years ago. I worked for
a financial firm. The money I make is not just very good,
it’s excellent. I haven’t put a time on when I’ll
retire from escorting or decided I need to make a half million
dollars. I just want to do it until I get tired of it. Actually,
none of this is fun. The only thing that’s good about
this is the money. That’s it. You’re meeting complete
strangers and people you probably will never see again.
I have a lot of regulars and have met
gentlemen who are my friends. It pays my bills and my income
is very good, but it’s not like you can go tell your
family or friends. It’s not like I’m a surgeon
or my mom can brag to her friends, “My daughter is an
attorney.” I have a daughter. I can take her to school,
pick her up and if she’s out for Christmas vacation,
I’m home. I don’t have to pay for a sitter. I
don’t have a time schedule. I don’t have to answer
to anybody. That’s the upside of it. It’s a job
and that’s how I look at it.
A lot of people think escorts are nymphomaniacs
and we love to have sex, but it’s not even about that.
Men will ask, “Oh can’t you get enough sex in
your regular life?” They actually think that. You go
do what you gotta do then you go home. I do travel a lot.
Every week, as a matter of fact, in the summer. But you don’t
actually get to see the city or have a nice dinner. It’s
not like you’re on vacation. You’re in a hotel
from the time you get off the plane to the time you return
to the airport. Next week I’ll be in Austin and San
Antonio. After that, Boston and Washington, D.C., Tampa, Miami
and Colorado. Then I go on vacation to Jamaica. When I come
back I’ll go to Philly and New York. So it’s really
just everywhere. You know why I travel so much? It’s
because if you’re new to a city you can make a lot of
money in a day, versus back home where you’ve probably
seen everybody. When you get to a new city everybody wants
to see the new girl. You do what you gotta do then get out
to the next city. Room service food gets very old—and
it’s expensive! The summer months are slow because most
guys are taking vacations with their families, so if you can
travel and make $2,000 to $3,000 a day versus that much in
a week at home, why not travel?
I don’t see myself as competing
with other providers. I try to go to my trainer and market
myself as best as I can and not worry about the competition.
I’m not motivated to spend all my time working out.
If I had the mind-set, “OK, there’s a lot of competition
out here,” I probably would be in the gym every day.
I know girls who are getting plastic surgery, their noses
done, and I’m not like that. You take me as I am or
you don’t at all. I guess I figure my face is going
to keep getting me customers. Eventually, I probably will
get fat, but anyway...
I don’t like reviews. I’ve
always had good ones, but if you’re having a bad day,
the first time you get a bad review there goes your money.
Some girls write bad reviews about other girls out of jealousy.
The experience I have with one guy may not be the same as
with another because they’re two entirely different
people. So his experience with me may not have been as pleasurable
as the day before. He’ll write, “She was heavier
than her pictures.” Hey, maybe I had a cheeseburger
yesterday. Maybe I’m having a bad hair day. I don’t
like that reviewing junk.
I’m not spending my money as soon
as I get it. I need to save my money because I know I am not
going to be young forever and I don’t want to do this
forever. I would like to make enough money that I’m
comfortable later on. I’ve had guys ask me, “Do
you have a boyfriend?” I say no, and I’m not looking
for one. I don’t want to be taken away from all this.
I want to be independent. I want to depend on myself.
I’m not a supermodel, and this
is what I do to eat. The quicker I pay my little house off
the sooner I can get out of this business.
Donna of
Dallas: Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten
I want my name used. I’m online for exposure and as
you can see I don’t hide. Just to let you know my name
is real. Something you won’t find to be true in 99.9
percent of the online girls. Did you know that my site was
the first escort site online? A little trivia for you. The
Internet has changed escorting a lot. Clients from out of
town flying into Dallas can contact me and view my photos
and information before they arrive. I book appointments from
a week to two weeks in advance so it helps in the planning
stages. This also helps clients in other cities fly me to
them for a weekend or an overnight. Many clients also fly
me to them when they fly out of town for business meetings.
I don’t think the Internet is a safer way to meet clients,
just an easier way.
My website offers videos and screen
savers for purchase. I consider myself a businesswoman. Advertising,
hotels, airfare, e-mail, clients, magazine and TV interviews...there’s
many things involved in my work. Just like nine-to-five businesswomen.
I’m not sure how long I’ll do this. I guess I’ll
stop when I get tired of it. So far I’ve had a great
time and have been pretty successful.
I worked for an agency for two weeks.
How most of them operate is they tell the client that the
fee is $100 and then you have to deal with the girl for the
rest of the fee. In some cases, that could $200 to $400 more,
which always becomes a problem with the clients and rightly
so. Clients also ask for a thin, brown-haired girl with a
small chest and the agency sends out a large blonde, with
a large chest, and then it’s up to the client to cancel
or continue. NO WAY!
Again, on my web site is — my
actual photos, my actual age, my actual name and no runaround.
That’s the way it should be. Unfortunately for many
agencies and independent girls, that’s not how they
do business. I’m pretty down to earth, so I don’t
think there’s too much glamour to escorting. Yes, the
traveling is fun and some of the destinations are better than
others, but generally speaking meeting the clients and getting
to know them is the best part of the job.
I’ve been asked what I think of
review sites and I have mixed feelings about the review sites.
I don’t mind reviews at all. I’ve had many on
different sites over the years and think it’s great.
In the past I’ve had some escorts post bad reviews of
me thinking they would position themselves in front of me
to take business or they even have their clients write false
reviews about me and post them hoping to help out their favorite
escorts.
A particular site told me that they
had received many bad reviews about me and they were going
to drop me further down the list. I just asked to be removed
from the list. Pretty funny since I hadn’t worked in
over three months and I had received so many bad reviews.
That’s when I knew I was being targeted by other girls.
It’s too bad. I’ve helped out many escorts over
the years and still do. It’s much better and safer to
work together than try to mess with one another.
Who’s empowered in the client/escort
relationship? I’d say it’s 60/40 in my favor.
I see the clients I want to see. I try to work with clients
as much as I can. I’m pretty easygoing. The
facts are I only see about 10 percent of the clients that
request an appointment. I do require information on each new
client and some like to give out much information. However,
I don’t meet any new clients without some form of information
about them. The money part is only secondary." |
