Things we'd wished we had known when starting out ! That we know now!

[Guiltypleasure]

For me it's mens punting sites I didn't even know about them , that they talk and spread any info they can find.

I was definately too open , I'd looked at this site for ways to get started and did within a few days.

I definately said too much, so now sometimes when they ask my name etc or we talk about children uni etc , I say " oh did I say I've got a boy and and girl " ( for example) I now say I have two girls or two boys or one child even to some regs then when they say "well that's what you said before" I say " oh everthing I say is true I just swap the genders sometimes for safety"

I do the same with my name if they use my real name ( I gave my first name out to start a few times) so now I saw oit about and laugh and say " oh did I say that before ? Then wink and say well it's xyz now , I'm not that daft lol "

Not giving out room number etc .

Getting outed , I'd never even heard of it or realised the implications.

Boundary pushers, never knew what that was, thought it was my job ,although I've always been quite firm.

Asking clients not to be graphic please in feedback and please don't mention I'm not a clock watcher.

I am but some guys/ regs I like a chat to get up to date with them ( if I have nothing on for a while) I say please don't put that because if I have someone dodgy I want them gone on the dot withouth them winging "but it says your not a clock watcher and your chucking me out " could turn nasty .

Secret filming !

Getting car reg if I can , asking where there coming from ( check it's not my home town)

Being aware that it may be one person at the door but 3 guys around the corner who want to Rob me ( didn't have a clue)

Time wasters ...never heard of them well I had but didn't really get it !

How dodgy other girls can be if your on their patch etc. Of course they're some wonderful girls out there but some just want to quiz you on you earnings where you work etc.

That guys are often shitting themselves due to bad experiences ..I could go on and on ( one lovely guy came and saw me in London said " fuck it I haven't got cash , your great please hold on I've been caught out had nasty experiences before "

Followed by texts , I'm at cashpoint , I've got it , 5 mins , oh and can you be facing away from the door bent over etc , to which I said sorry no way !

When he got back ( v young lovely chap) he said "oh god that's my fantasy" I said well it's not mine you could of had three more guys with you" he apologised sincerely and said " crikey I see what you me , my god you have to think of everything "

Well that's a few things I've learnt , oh and don't use same PC laptop phone that you use for any social media as they will link and guys will pop up your friends list and lock up your fb and change pic to something unusual ( cake and a coffee) anything that's not a pic of you.

I use android for work and iPhones social .

Hope theirs some more might help some newbies rather than learn the hard way

To save as much money as possible! It's great when you first start getting all this money that you've never had before and indulge in the things you felt like you were deprived off like new trainers/clothes/make up/furnishings. I dread to think how much money I've spent on crap! and I'm still working my way out of debt even now. With this job on the good days they are soooo good but on the bad days when you've got no food and 50p on the electric you'll be soooo happy that you've put some money aside for emergencies.


People are crap and love to gossip. There are loads of people I wish I never told about what I do. Lost a really good friend well not so good as she wanted my money and made me pay for everything then getting blackmailed by my ex.

Only some men will be ok to start a relationship with you not found him yet. Be wary that most just see you as a meal ticket to buy them stuff or for free sex like bragging to their mates "I'm shagging an escort for free"

Since day one of this job I began saving. Not being into designer bags/shoes/anything else costing a fortune I knew if I was sensible I could change my future and be secure in the knowledge I would never again have to worry about bills.

I worked full time in a day job at the beginning and had no car, I couldn't afford to buy one! My one extravagance was to take a taxi home each afternoon at 5.30 and I remember this came to around ?40 per week. This was a real treat not to wait at a cold bus stop and to get home in 20 mins rather than nearly an hour.  A few months down the line and no more taxis as I could afford my own transport, to some this would be the norm but to me it was living the high life!

I wish I had known about purpleport to find a decent photographer.  In 5 years I still haven't settled on one reliable local photographer but will try out one from on there in July.  They have been a very motley crew thus far.

I only came upon purpleport recently online.  My main contact only visits my part of the UK every February.

Most just looking for free gropes etc and many unprofessional ones abound.

I also wish I had known to display my mobile number on the days I work when I don't have prior bookings.

I also didn't stumble upon Saafe until two years into the job .....

That most of clients treat escorts like dirt wish some one told me prior of course I would have gone fuck this.

That has not been my experience. What they think of us in their own minds is one thing but how they treat us is another and if my clients had treated me like dirt I would not still be here.

In the escorting world they do excist even over the phone time wankers are there. And for not one to have phoned you must be immune. It is easy on a forum isn't it.

I did not say not one has ever phoned me or met me but your statement that most treat us like dirt was what I said is not my personal experience.

It is easy on a forum isn't it   Not sure what exactly you mean by this.

Well that was what I was referring about them on the phone  I am in lockdown with screening already.

Thank you any way for doubting me.

Like some have already said.. to save save save. I'm not short on savings but to think what I could have if I hadn't blown it makes me feel sick.

[SheilaStar]

I wish I had known to never see again someone I was unusually attracted to in ways other than physically. Live and learn

It's not doubting you - it's that you made such a sweeping generalisation. I've only ever felt that a handful of clients had a negative opinion of me, and only one I would say 'treated me like dirt'.

There are a.lot of disrespectful tine wasters phone wankers just read the forum.What you read is not how I mean I thought this was cleared up. But obviously not. So what more is there left to say unless your going to tell me.

Do you know how I interrupt dirt obviously you think you do. Sure you are going to tell me what I meant. Carry on.

Like I said it is easy on a forum.

Nope I've never had this either I'm old but treated like a princess, I've had two that did it and they said " great see you again" and I said "oh yes" and thought , f*ck off miniature Paul Daniels !!! Lol bossy wotsit , just saved in my phone as fully booked lol

I've only had a few dodgy calls but I make it clear on my profile , if your not polite , even in texts, it's v v clear on my profile , however I have no graphic pics on my profile , only what you'd see on a beach , no feedback with anything graphic and nothing remotely rude on my profile, pretty much every guy I see says that's what drew them to me !

I have regs , lots who say please don't put naughty pics on , they can find out when they see you.

I offer a service that is GFE but bordering on PSE , but make it clear if they can't string two words together to text or mail , I won't answer !!
