Furthermore I dont want to piss anyone off but, It has always kind of irked me how providers are held up to a certain level of professionalism. While some fit the bill and ARE professional and some are super classy, I dont understand how people can get their feathers so ruffled that I could EVEN mention that a good number of ladies who are attracted to this lifestyle are exactly the type you can EXPECT some flakiness out of.
I am a together enough girl that I chose to leave a corporate job for this because I like it, the people, the perks, the sex all of it. some girls are in this "hobby" for completely other reasons and quite possibly because they are not so employable or reliable or educated. (I said some, not all. I dont want this to turn into a lynching) So youve got a girl who may be doing this to support a habit, make some quick cash, maybe is forced or "managed" and you are expecting the same service and professionalism you get from your insurance rep or Dr. ?
I guess I am trying to say that while some of us have a professional attitude this really isnt a profession. Where do the expectations come from? Originally Posted by Lily Stargazer

That requires skill, and is learnable.
I came from the corporate world of communications, which, btw, has been exceedingly helpful in this endeavor. I actually was offered a spot at an agency looking for a mature companion, but it was my choice to be an "independent contractor," completely responsible for my success or failure, with no excuses that someone else screwed up instead of just screwed. ANY money-making venture can either operate in the most rudimentary fashion and hope that the service haphazardly makes a few bucks through supply and demand, or the proprietor can refine the business through study and application, do what's required to make it successful and garner repeat clientele, become adept and build a marketable brand that will maintain a reliable cash flow.
Maybe it's the difference between seeing a cook or a chef, a candy striper or a registered nurse, someone who is in something for the time being and perhaps a quick paycheck versus the person gaining experience and knowledge in a field that they intend to stay in for a while. This is my profession, and I take pride in the reputation that I have built and the longevity that I have displayed. Just because others may not treat it seriously doesn't mean that I will take it lightly.
I see no reason why consumers should not expect "professional," consistent, polite behavior anywhere that they spend their money.
