Is escorting worth it?

[LastHope30Something]

Sounds extreme but considering this if I can’t get a job in a month or so because I’m so fed up of having to watch everything and feel like I get punished for treating myself. Sounds childish I know but my headspace seriously needs a boost. Obviously this won’t be my first choice but if things don’t change then choice is out of the question. Obviously I wouldn’t do the extras just dinner dates and girlfriend experience etc

here’s why I’m considering it
*extra money for me and my family.
*can treat myself more to boost my mood.
*can afford the work I need done.
*help me get over this past few years.
*get to relive my youth by going to fancy bars and restaurants also save up for travel.
*if things go shit with my family and in laws the money can go towards daycare or if me and hubby need a break.
*pontentially more opportunities in life.
*feel more wanted and useful. Also it will get rid of my low self worth.

Fucking hell this is the absolute pits of MN

th OP is in a bad place. She has described herself as a “burden”. And the first few posts made the point that escorting isn’t just escorting.

this poster needs support not being called naive, being told she’s attention seeking, confused etc

So many mean girls and boys on here tonight. Bullies. That’s what you are.

OP. Ask MN to delete this as it’s going to make you feel worse. And please seek help from your GP as you’re not going to find the solution from escorting. And you are NOT a burden.

Agree. OP sounds v desperate.

I agree with people saying you won't get paid for a platonic date.
I think you and DH need to find another solution.
Hope you do.

Unless you're young, intelligent, charming and blindingly gorgeous, no one's going to pay you for 'dates and holding hands'. Why would anyone do that? If you just want to wine and dine a woman, why would you pay her for that, just go on a dating site and invite someone.

It's prostitution. And yes, you'd have to fuck them. You're married, with a child, and THIS naive. Astonishing.

@70isaLimitNotaTarget Those lovely, charming, intelligent men will be able to go on any number of apps or forums and arrange to meet someone casually as a date or platonic meet-up and know they have common interests, without needing to ‘procure’ someone as a prop on their dinner table to stave off social stigma.

OP is overestimating her value in a world where making connections with strangers has never been easier and women in sex work have never been more numerous.

You should also have dinner by yourself. It is extremely liberating and enjoyable.

I can't get over so many posters think escorting has ever been real.
It has always had sex expectations

Where have you heard of these mythical ‘opportunities’?

‘Escort’ is a sex worker, it’s not a dinner date and the ‘gf experience’ includes sex as well.

Sorry you are having such a tough time, but this would be the last move to make if your MH is already not great doubly so as your posts read naive and vulnerable.

Have you contacted citizens advice to see what support financial, or services you might not have considered or be aware of to support you?

Dinner is a rare occurrence lol

No it's a more 'vanilla' type of service, rather than pse porn star experience

wind - up

If it's a wind-up, she's playing the loooooooooooooooooooong game.

OP clearly states it would be dates only?????

How is she playing a long game?

She's only made 3 posts on this thread.

Of course it wouldn't, though. To think so is top-level naive. I really hope this is a wind-up thread.

Yep

This thread ain't her first rodeo.

Bless you, lovely, start by selling stuff on Vinted if you’re skint or do a couple of boot sales. You’ll make a couple of hundred quid easy and, hopefully, feel really proud of yourself for the work you’ve done. Lots of love xxx

Ahh ok, I had a nosey and her account is only 2 or 3 days old.

But obviously a name change.

Surely there's not as much money in it these days, what with so many people working the only fans gig?

My job involves dealing with people who’ve fallen victim to ‘romance scams’ and the men are always looking for sexual services from a younger woman - always. It’s never just about companionship and real love, but control and sex. Men do not spend money on women for their company alone.

what consequences?

Tis a myth

They have not yet invented a way to have sex through a screen, so why wouldn’t there be as much money in it as there ever was?!

?Errrr
Seriously???
If you truly believe your original post then that’s why you shouldn’t be doing escort work
Can well believe this is a wind up

Oh there is...men want the real thing, not just someone on a computer screen
