I'll throw my two cents in and try to see it from both sides. As a long time lurker and occasional contributor, dating all the way back to the ASPD days, I would argue that us men have it better than we realize in a lot of ways. If you haven't looked at some of the provider ads outside of Austin, go spend a few minutes in, say, the Houston section. Hard to find many that aren't charging 250 and up, for services that in Austin would have the rude among us crying foul. That we even have a resource like eccie is pretty amazing, and it seems like instead of appreciating all the spoils a site like this has to offer, we have an unusually large amount of angry trolls who seem to enjoy demeaning the women who choose to offer themselves to us. And I know I'm inviting that same animosity to rain down on me by calling it out, but it just seems like we would have a larger number of women, and even a better caliber, to choose from if we didn't treat them so bad in these forums and run so many good ones off (if you've been around a while I bet you can name a few just like I can).It would seem to me, a simpleton outsider looking in usually, that if a pretty and amorous lady enjoyed what she does, ran her business like a business, and used the boards for what they are (an advertising tool to let Johns know your looks, pricing, menu, and that you're most likely safe/ie. not LE), that she would establish some regular generous and genuinely nice clientele that meets her demands for $/time spent. I realize regulars come and go, and you need some newbies for supplemental income to make your revenue quota. But if you're pics look good, your reviews are solid generally (and not necessarily numerous), and tcb & iop are on point, those noobs will come as well and a few will keep coming back.
From the woman's side, I can see both the attraction in good money for low hours as long as you enjoy sex and can separate what you do for money from what is real outside of that transaction, as well as the freedom doing this line of work offers. I know if I had been born a woman and had the sex drive of a man, this is what I'd be doing. But at some point, either because of age or attitude or circumstances, you eventually have to walk away.

It won't. There's a diminishing marginal return there and after a very short while..you're gonna get into some silly tirade with some other board rat and it looks pathetic. I am not referring to OP in any way, just making my observation on what I see to be a very common trait of those that end up bemoaning how tough this all is and how they keep ending up dealing with flakey JA's.
If you don't want to get demeaned by juvenile angry trolls, WTF are you doing posting in COED. This is where most of them hide and live. And whether you're a sweetheart or not, post enough around here & you'll get the attention of an angry troll, and I'll end up at page 13 of some thread asking myself...why do I keep reading these things. THIS is a board for mongers to rate and explicitly explain what a girl does or doesn't do for pay, and to explicitly pick apart her looks in minute detail for the benefit of other mongers. It's not pretty normally, and not sure how any one can post sounding surprised at the audacity of it all. And...as a general rule...what kind of guys do you suppose do the most contributing to a place like this? Mr. Lancelot has left the building...in fact, he never dropped in.
Additionally, we're not going to run anyone off who's worth keeping. As I have seen many do, gals need to move to another market once the clients have become stale or you have become stale to them. If the money is better elsewhere, by all means go compete for it there. Maybe true, maybe not true. Only 1 way to find out. And, when you get back...I'll probably tell you that I missed you and tip good...because I probably did if you're on your game.
Sorry for the hijack of the thread and not meaning to belittle Thunderbritches points above. But we see this same conversation repeatedly, but for some reason I am powerless to stop reading them.
I wish OP (and all the gals I've loved before) all the best in whatever choices they make. But change up your life, change your surroundings, change your opinions and find personal growth. I am of the opinion this should not be a lifelong career for a woman, but simply a means to an end or the next destination.

I think anything can become "old hat" or stagnant including escorting, but that's what life is all about; hopefully just enjoying the journey and renewing passions! I am involved in several other things in life I am passionate about as well, and if I feel it's time to move on from something I will. If I'm ever not in the mood for sex (seldom) I just don't work. Usually after 2-3 days I am back to 100 again. This is a good job for me.
