You may have met more escorts than I have because you are older but I believe escorts have been more honest with me than with you.
A lot of them have entered the industry to put a roof over their head, clothes on their back and food on their table. I would say a lot more than people entering to buy the latest Chanel.
You might be confused with the reason for staying
As you gain more experience, clientele and reputation. You might start making more money and getting used to a certain lifestyle which can make it very hard to go back to a regular job. In that sense you would be right
Nah I am not confused at all.
Of course the majority enter to put a roof over their heads and groceries on the table just like any other job.
There will always be a small minority that make a lot of money be it their looks, marketing reputation and there will be some that struggle to make ends meet every month. It is not any different than any other job in those regards.
SP can ask for anything they want for screening it is their business and their body so what ever they feel is necessary should not be questioned or ridiculed.
Having said that the same goes for clients. Clients are vilified by C-136 so it should be understandable if some are very vigilant and careful with ID documentation and who they hand it over to.
Every client has a choice just like SP do and if either is not in agreement they are both free to move on and find an arrangement that suits both.
There will always be another SP for the client and there will always be another client for the SP there isn’t a shortage of either.
This thread is simply a discussion of what clients feel is safe for them to do, there is no right or wrong it depends entirely on the risk level of each client. Just like it depends on the risk level of each SP as to how much info they require for screening.
