Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
Hello
my name is Gabrielle, 21 and this is my first thread! I’ve been a lurker for sometime and decided that I wanted to share my experience and also ask for advice from you intelligent babes.
I have dipped into escorting a few times; first time with an agency, second time with a random man who claimed to be an agency and finally with a woman who also claimed to have an agency. In my first experience, the man was well-known in the escorting world and made good money in the past (10k a week) and supplied his “girls” with new cars, condos and luxury goods. However, that was over 10 years ago in 2006-2009. I researched before reaching out to his new agency and we met and go things started. I sent a body picture without my face and he put it up on the website. I had my first client, didn’t have sex and simply chatted with him and made $1000 off of 1 1/2 hrs(took home $700 after his cut & having sex with me). This was summer 2016. Things were dry and I was impatient as I was using the money to pay off my debts and tuition. We lost contact after I missed the photoshoot to take my final exam.
Later that year in December I look for another agency, I find another man named Steve. I meet him through another woman who assured me that he can help me get started. He introduces me to TNA board over a coffee date. Explains that I don’t have to be pretty to make money and schedules a photoshoot for later that evening with another girl he “manages.” I arrive to find no photographer and the other girl is nowhere to be seen. Steve urges me to have a martini at the public hotel bar (I don’t drink) assuring that there other girl will be there shortly. I believe the drink was spiked. We return to the hotel room and long story short Steve forces himself on me and stated that there is no photographer - instead taking nude pictures of me on this iPhone 4. I leave once I begin to regain cognitive control. Rushing to my car and immediately driving home - my eyes empty with pain and defeat. I later find he has not set up my account on TNA and I grow angry, as he refuses to answer my messages. I tell him to delete my profile and pictures. Steve responds noting that I want much more than I can offer and throws racial slurs at me (he called me “mammie” and “nigger” while raping me).
I’m back at square one. I go months without escorting; penniless days filled with grief. My father gets extremely sick and my mother is later diagnosed with cancer. In the fall, I try at it again. I reach out to a modeling casting ad on craigslist. The madamme is sincere and assured me that I would not experience the same dilemma - just money. A dream come true for me right? Only issue was I was in my college city and not Seattle. Two she made me work from my college apartment and three, she never screened a damn client. The madamme, placed fake photos of me on craigslist and backpage for as low as $150 per hour. I was defestated. The two clients I saw were thankfully normal, but requested more for so little (unlike my first experience where I provided conversation and a shower), after meeting the two clients I didn’t return her requests and didn’t see anymore. This was Fall 2017. Now, after leaving college (trying to finish online) I am back in the heart of the city and wanted to get back into escorting - this time for real and as an upscale escort (450-800 per hour). I reach out to the first ever agency I went to; he’s more rude this time around and stated “I know what I can do for you, but what exactly can you do for me?” And “you’re weak, you can’t be looking like this around me.” Basically negating that he prefers a pimp/hoe situation where I give him my funds in entirety and follow him where he asks. I explained my family commitment (my father being paralyzed and my mothers cancer) and he decided I was too much “drama,” and we parted ways.
At this very moment I’m trying to go independent. I reached out to other agencies, but they state “You’re pretty but I’d start you at $100-200, black girls aren’t very favorable.” Moreover, I went the TNA board route and most hobbyist on these boards state that my rates are too high or hate screening. I look up other girls and they’re making 12k a weekend or charging $1000 for just an hour. I’ve build a website, I just don’t have pictures. A photographer that was willing to pay $700 and take my photos in addition to intimacy, flaked on me and is not returning my emails or texts. I have no money to pay for a photographer. I was fired from my retail job because I had too many emergencies (my mother went through surgery and has seizures) and was unable to work the slave-shifts like I did before when I was desperate.
I just don’t know where to start. I’ve applied as a bottle service girl and they also state they don’t like black girls. Regular retail is no longer hiring as seasonal is over. I have no photos for my escort site or money to buy ads on slixia and Eros. I’m so depressed and felt suicidal at one point. I’m getting to the point where I despise being a black woman. I have never had this feeling before entering the sex work industry.
Does anyone else face this kind of discrimination? How did you cope? Also, how should I go about entering high-end escorting? What advice do you have for me to get things going, especially where to get photos done when I’m down to $20 in my name?
Also, I know I’m an idiot and deserved much of what happened to me. I researched but I just trusted more than I should have. I don’t want to go through any of that again, which is why I’m raising my prices and going independent. Any help would be great. Thank you.

I'll add my thoughts later today. Glad you posted

Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
You don't have to have professional photos or a pro website to make money escorting. You can take selfies, use a free website, and advertise on Backpage and free forums. Many girls are broke when they first start out.

Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
You seem like someone who would do well working in the Houses in Nevada. (The acronym is LPIN Houses.) Feel free to message if you have questions.

Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
The adult industry has a racist underside. However that does not mean you have to accept their lowball offers and you can still value your time just as much as other women of other races.
Maybe take a small break to mentally cleanse the past issues then restart by researching successful escorts (especially the black ladies) and see what they are doing then go from there.

Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
What is LPIN? I responded to your PM!

I’ve done that before. I don’t like that there is no screening, plus I would have to use rates between $80-150 competing against posters in my area, which I don’t want to do. Especially since these men feel entitled to crazy extras like bareback, GFE or anal for such low rates - they can get it from the girls that post on backpage or forums because they have to offer the services they “like” talking about. I want my rates to be around $450 and higher.

Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
^^^Yeah, Backpage does attract a lot of cheapskates and guys trying to bargain over the price, but you can also get good clients on there. Backpage, TER, and P411 (if you allow/have reviews) are all free or cheap to use.
-
Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
I have P411, trying get approved on there - I have no reviews under my new name. My previous alias belongs to my agency and I don’t want to be affiliated with them. :/

Wise move....

Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
Until you get a client try something like
Uber or Lyft you can get paid same day
Or door dash or postmates or Uber eats
Even there’s apps for cleaning such as
Handy etc you get paid same week
It might not be hundreds a day but you can make
Steady pay and honeslty $80 a day is better than 0!!!

Thanks for the idea! I applied for uber eats, uber and postmates, your car has to be from 2007 and younger. Mine is from 2002.

Worst day ever. I believe in karma and destiny. Everything he’s put out into the world will come back to him tenfold. ❤️

I sent you a NICE long message, check your mailbox ;)

Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
That is horrifying, I'm so sorry, you have to be SO careful in this industry, revolting predators everywhere (not saying it was your fault at all or you weren't careful, I just can't believe the disgusting pimps and rapists who prey on us).
Can you strip or do massage until you get on your feet more, and then dip your toe into the escorting world again? Right now you're at a point of desperation which is never good when escorting.
-
Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
It's alot harder being a woc in this industry but we can still BANK & we're still in DEMAND! I have this escort's site & she's gorgeous, doesn't use professional photos at all. She stands out because she's different & not the cookie cutter type of escort.{I'm going to pm you her site}
I say check out the going rate in your city & know your market.Some cities are better than others for black women to make bank in.I'm a dancer & constantly get offers of 800+ for sex. This is from all demographics of men.Your looks is what gets you in the door. But your personality, charm, & sometimes culture & intelligence plays a role too.

Posted a massage ad a few days ago and have no responses yet. Craigslist and backpage require your social media link now and I don’t want to put one out there just yet. Thank you for your advice and kind words ❤️ Everyone single responded has been so kind.

You don't have to put a real social media handle
Www. Twitter . Com / 1hourMinimum lol
Girls do stuff like that

Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
Craigslist only requires a number and email

Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
As a former higher-end black escort, please stay the heck away from the agencies! They don't have anyone's best interest in mind. Most of them won't hire black girls and if they do, they will take most of your money and don't give a rat's ass about your safety and security.
Also, I'm going to be real here - High end escorting is not what it's all cracked up to be. So, yeah, you can make $500, $600, $700 an hour but with the costs of the expensive photoshoots, professional website and ADVERTISING, the expenses will kill you. Also, forget about the escort boards. Most of those guys there like to spend their money in a variety of places and will only pay you around $300-$400 an hour . . . and you MUST have a bevy of good reviews.
IMHO, you're only 21 years old. Your youth and your youth alone is your best asset right now and with that being said, either go to college and work towards getting a skills/degree that can set you up with real tangible money for life. If you are looking for a "get rick quick" scheme, then this is not for you. I know you want to aspire to be a high-end escort, but please reconsider it because I'm not lying when I tell you that it's not all that.
Escorts who are charging $1/$2K and hour have a full-time job or career and/or have either been on the online game for a looonnngggg time.

Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
My heart goes out to you. I've been in similar situations as you when I was younger. I say forget escorting right now and try working as a stripper. No starting costs (or at least very minimal) and it's a lot safer than escorting. I hope things turn out better for you very soon!

Thank you for the advice! Strip clubs in Seattle are not the same as other clubs on the east coast or south. Many of my former friends work as strippers and I feel it would be intense drama since the girls out here switch between clubs weekly. I hope thinks work out as well, I’m taking things slow.

Re: Black Escort - Disadvantages & Seattle StartUo
Hi Love,
Thank you for the reply and the advice! I’m graduting this spring and applying to graduate schools this month, so I can start in the fall. So, I already have my career going/set up. Also applying to jobs out of my city. I’ve researched high-end escorts and agree that an agency was not in my best interest. I did so because they offered professional photos as part of the package. I honestly wanted to use the photos for my own personal website and go indie from there. However, in all instances, the agency lied about have a professional photographer, expect the first agency I went to that wanted a pimp/hoe situation. I primarily don’t want to use this as a get rich scheme, but as supplement to my current internship income, and to fund my move out of state for graduate school. My basic end goal is to save enough for a new car, down payment on a house (with my own working income added) and to pay off long-term debt. I think I felt like I had a chance because I was seeing women my age making 1k an hour and they were fresh into the industry as well (1-2years).

That doesn’t work either :/ it’s so weird, they’ve changed their rules. Craigslist isn’t getting any responses either.
