How often do you receive investment advice from clients or "stocks to pick"? (as if the latter was a good idea for amateur investors–it's not)
I get unsolicited advice about a variety of subjects including how to be an escort by clients on a very regular basis. I've had clients give me really weird financial advice as well and it never applies to my personal situation. And yes I've been told to invest in stocks as well.
Did you have occasions where you overreacted with a client?
And that afterwards you became conscious of it and clarified the situation or just wanted to hide yourself?
It doesn't happen on a regular basis but it's happened in situations in which I felt threatened or disrespected or anxious. If somebody makes me uncomfortable with something they did physically and if I feel there's a direct threat to my safety, I just don't see them again.
Sometimes it's not that clear cut, it's hard to tell people's intentions in this industry, not just clients but other providers as well. I've had misunderstandings that I clarified but I've definitely had situations with clients that were uncomfortable enough to make me really paranoid about others. Usually I prefer to clarify it.
I think one thing that I find really hard to deal with and mentally exhausting is having clients I see on a regular basis who are very very invested in this whole thing. That's a me problem and I can't control what my clients are doing, but it makes me worried that I can't trust them. That doesn't mean they're bad people and doing anything morally reprehensible but it's still stressful and it makes you overanalyze everything and question yourself all the time.
For instance we know there are "back channels" where a group of clients are sharing things about us and content in a non consensual way. That in itself is enough to cause a lot of fear for many of us. I've seen guys here claim there is an equivalent of that for us, but that isn't the case at all.
I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to defend somebody who's behaving in a non professional way, but many things about this job can be very stressful and even dangerous although you see the glamorous or sexy side of it online.
I make the choice to advertise here and share my thoughts and it's a controversial one that's highly criticized by peers. That doesn't make it easier to see a lot of things that are published here sometimes by your own clients. A lot of escorts look at the comments here even if they don't post anything. They don't always know who their clients are because guys are often reluctant to admit they use boards if you don't advertise on them.
