I've always been the quiet shy girl that tries to avoid conflict. Rude, hateful people use to hurt me, sending me home crying and wishing I was someone better. But since I became a provider I learned to ignore the bullshit and keep pressing forward. No one has time for an emotional nutcase. Tears aren't sexy unless their the result of a wet and wild deep throat session.
Thick skin is needed. There are assholes and time wasters at every turn. Most guys get off by putting a girl down, calling her fat or ugly, shorting her fees, etc. Hell I had some guy just now walk in and say "you're fatter than your pictures" and leave without another word. Oh well, his lost.
Of course there are great men out there that are respectful and caring. They are the ones that make this business worthwhile
