Amelia - very nice points. I do think that more is being made out of the " Appreciation Day" than what is actually being asked. Let me just say part of the question was more rhetorical for wake-up. He thinks he's winning some argument by venting at my "feedback and audacity" which caused him to actually think about his responses while at the same time claiming victory in the argument. I used to be an internet troll King so all fine by me. Lol. My basic point is that generally speaking we live in a free market society (minus market manipulations another topic) and compensation is given based on the free market regardless of how many years of schooling one may have. Brain and Heart surgeons make far less than top athletes and movie stars, soldiers (who make the ultimate sacrifice) barely get by and all we want to do is honor them with awards and medals but not more pay.Godamn Zani.....I think I just felt an emotion while reading that....wait...never mind.....just those fucking tacos I had for lunch pushing down....false alarm, my bad.....carry on.....
Wakeup is subtly and overtly engaging in classic moral double-speak which is: "A bitch is a bitch and a whore is a whore but a Punter and a John is a stand up kind of guy."
I'm glad you can appreciate the general sentiment. After all my personal goal is to make my encounters the most fun and exciting they can be that's why selection criteria is of utmost importance on both sides. Originally Posted by Zanzibar789

There will be men who resent providers at all economic and education levels, and there will also be men who love them at all economic levels.
For most people who earn a high level of income, a comparable level of higher education is implied. Today, that means a Master's or Doctorate degree. Additionally, there is a certain amount of hard work and moving up the ranks to get to that income level. I imagine it would gall anyone who has had to work hard to achieve that income (to say little of the sacrifice involved regarding sleepless nights studying and toiling, damaged relationships from overwork, student loan debt, etcetera) to see someone who is barely functioning at a literate level earn the same amount with little more effort than laying down and spreading their legs.

I can answer this one.Fucking hell. You are still in the justifying my job as an escort phase and trying to act like you somehow were born into the higher hooker caste system. We are all the same. Your education does not matter. If you told someone on the street you are a prostitute they would think the same of you no matter how much you are charging or what corner you are working. I am hoping that I am not the only one who caught that.

The fact is that any job that puts the employee in danger, whether legitimate work or not, involves some sort of hazard pay. Escorts command higher rates than their education, training, or business skills allow for, in part due to supply and demand - that particular escort is the only woman in possession of that particular body - there may be more out there like it, but that one is her own... she has the option of sharing it with whoever she wishes, at whatever compensation she deems appropriate; but also, the risks inherent in the work itself. Anyone engaging in this activity runs the risk of being beaten or robbed, but the women involved also carry the risk of being raped, are generally ill-equipped to protect themselves from violence, and, due to the social stigma revolving around this activity, far less likely to achieve any form of justice. The general opinion is that, since she is a whore, she was asking for it, deserved it. Why bother reporting, when it all boils down to a case of he-said-she-said? A jury of peers doesn't include anyone like us.
There are, of course, ladies out there with skill sets, attractiveness, business skills, and education beyond that of the "average hooker," who are able to command higher rates - just as those in legitimate business who are more competitive in their skills and education are able to command more competitive compensation packages. I feel closer to deserving my compensation now than the barely legal version of me did. Do I deserve higher pay than my patrons? Certainly not - at least, not in this profession. Can I command it? Well, anyone can command anything; it is up to their audience if they are willing to accept.
I will say this: I appreciate everyone who walks through my door. I don't need a special day to do so. I care about people, genuinely; if I know someone is going through a rough time, I will worry, or offer any help I can. I especially appreciate those who show me a little extra consideration. I don't expect it, but those people who see me as more than "just a whore," but down to the human woman with educational aspirations and warm, squishy feelings beneath the whore veneer, are generally closer to my inner circle than any "friend list" denizen on normal social media sites.
