    Depends if you are using the legal term for escort (time for companionship) or if you are using it to mean people who sell sex


    Dancing
    ---------------------
    Pros: Legal, clubs provide security
    Cons: Shady management at some clubs, waiting for customers to walk in the door, bad/cheap customers, no guaranteed take home pay


    Selling Time
    ---------------------
    Pros: Legal, make your own hours
    Cons: Not a lot of call for this industry, potential security issues


    Selling Sex
    --------------------
    Pros: Decent amount of demand, make your own hours
    Cons: Not legal in most places, security issues, many guys wanting to pay won't pay much, customers with bad hygiene, waiting for guys to call/contact


    I'm sure there are more, but off the top of my head those are the main ones.

    There is escorting (selling your time) and there is prostitution.. which one are you talking about? lol!

    I have friends that are strippers that complain all the time about working 8 hours and only making $400. With escorting, I can go to a call and know that my $400 is gonna be laying on the dresser when I get there. I tried stripping and I couldn't do it for long because it just wasn't worth it to me. Escorting is NOT for everyone. Some girls HATE it and still do it just for the money then there are few like MOI that LOVES it! So it all depends on you. Good luck in whatever you do!

    There are different classes of escorting like I've mentioned before.. That's why everyone's experience as an escort is different.

    Stripping: PRO: Legal
    Con: Walking around half naked for FREE, having to work for hours to make $2-$300, Going home in pain or with bruises

    Escorting(selling time): Pro: Legal, Knowing your money is waiting for you before you get there, Ability to make what strippers make in a day in an hour

    CON: Could be mentally challenging for those that are looking to do it JUST for the money, Could be mentally damaging for those that jump into it without educatiing themselves

    ^^So...escorts are selling time...but sex is not expected in EVERY appointment then?

    What if you refuse to have sex with a client?

    Customers respect/understand it?

    I had bruises all the time and was super sore when I first started. If you stay off your knees though and don't do pole work or get accustomed to the pole you won't really bruise.

    On the walking around half naked for free. Sort of true. I know tons of dancers that wear bikini style clothes. Personally I usually wear clubbing style dresses or gowns, so I show a lot less skin than most. However, I actually enjoy having less on. Clothes and shoes all seem very restrictive to me. However, one big bonus to not working in a club... you don't have to argue with management over the club being too hot/cold!

    In most cases, I imagine the customers would be pissed, leave a nasty review on Hobbyist websites about how he paid and you refused to have sex, and your client base would dry up as fast as it could get posted.

    Escort -

    Pro - make your money faster and more of a guarantee as long as you do the upfront work of marketing yourself and book enough appointments. Clients generally less likely to try and push your limits like they do at the strip club because they know they'll be getting sex in the end.

    Con- you have to be comfortable having sex with total strangers, most of them rather unattractive. If someone commits an act of violence against you, can't really turn to the police as you were committing and illegal act and most cops don't consider prostitutes as human beings.

    That's the main con right there! However, that can be greatly minimized by thorough screening. Screening will decrease your client base, but it will also likely get rid of some dangerous elements too.

    Uhh...yeah, unless you're with a crazy Lifetime-miniseries style escort agency, I'd stick with stripping. All you have to do is look on craigslist in your local town to realize escorts hardly make more than dancers, probably just in less time. If you're asking because you're not 100% sure, then you're not ready to escort.

    I wouldn't be able to handle being an escort physically and mentally.

    Stripping is already alot for me!
    Hanging round chatting to randoms, dancing, and looking pretty already tires me out.

    Having to do it physically with escort work.... Whoa, alot for moi

    A girl I know who marketed herself as an escort (she was selling sex though) was violently beaten by a client of hers a few years ago. She called the cops and they actually took her side... and she walked out without any charges against her. Although that could be a case of the court figured she learned her lesson already - however, she went back to it.

    Thanks for answering that. Some of these questions are common sense questions. We should all google "Working as an escort" or "escorting" to get a general idea of the business.

    You do not talk about sex for money.. during some encounters sex is involved.

    You can fing a good agency and make bank. You can become an independent escort and make bank. With good marketing skills and promotion, the ugliest girl in this world could brand herself VIP and clean up. There are soo many women out here that are so ignorant about the business. I've been doing this for a while now and I've made more money than any of my stripper friends...

    I've talked about this soo many times. There are different classes of escorting. You have your newspaper escorts, your backpage/craigslist escorts and your highend escorts. DO NOT PUT THEM ALL IN ONE CLASS. Different classes=different experiences. I'm not a streetwalker. I make $3000 a week easily (off of regulars alone). Your backpage escort is advertising a "backdoor special" for $50... lol. .. Do you know how many guys she has to see to make 1k? it's insane!

    So please don't put all escorts in a category.. I've never advertised on craigslist and I never will. =

    STRIPPING WAS ALOT FOR ME TOO..lol.. I almost had a nervous breakdown knowing men were watching me walk around the room half naked for free. Escorting I walk in get my money, have fun and walk out with what I made stripping in a day. Hell these days stripping is not all that great.

    You should work on your own if you have the money for advertising and an incall. Always remember that incalls are safer than outcalls. I did outcalls 80% of the time and was totally comfortable..why? because i knew how to screen. screening and naturally good instincts will save your ass!

    If I were single, I would be doing it. Dancing is definitely no longer what it was cracked up to be, and unless you are in a busy club with a lot of stage tipping, you will be seen naked/half naked for free. There are nights I have made nothing.... which brings me to another alternative route for you: Private party dancing! Much like escorting you have appointments and don't have to sit around a dead club half naked for free... You bring your own security, pay him for his time, but don't have to pay ridiculous club fees. If you don't have appointments, you can sit at home and play WoW and eat cheetos if you like. Not that I recommend sitting around and eating junk food, just sayin.

    There are a LOT of things you can do, camming, PP dancing, escort, club dancing, adult videos... the list goes on. Depending on your area, I wouldn't recommend club dancing very much right now though, because of the stress to make money in a club crowded with girls but no customers. Minimal legal/investment risk and maximum payout= camming... stay at home and cam and save gas money driving to a dead ass club. o_O The con of this is some places don't pay instantly, more so monthly or every two weeks.

    Well let's see its really about what your comfortable with, for some they are successful in one over the other, so it just a matter of what finding your bliss.

    For me I was told I should be able to make 1,000$ a night in a club so I go in all eager and I come home with $200 staying in the club for about 6 to 10 hours depending on the club location.

    Both have thier financial and mental challenges and benefits so there is no comparing in that area. When I was in the clubs I noticed alot of cat fights and drugs and clubs being radid for girls not having thier papers. Working in an incall it was much safer we did have our cat fights but there wasnt much drama other then the jealous of who is being booked more and who isn't the cleaniest.

    Escorting is alot more demanding on the body yes. but so is stripping so you have to be prepared for the muscles that will ache that never did before and visiting the doctors or walk-in clinics alot more then you would if you had a straight job.

    The men are pretty much the same all around, weird, demanding and clingy I don't think you wont find one who isnt in one of those titles.

    So basically you have to decide what you can handle all on your own becuase no experience in any field is the same for anyone.

    Thats another thing, I don't do drugs and neither do I drink (not even old enough to drink) and I couldn't stand the girls asking me if I'd like to take a hit UGH! The club, to me, was more demanding than anything. I'm talking fucked up managers, fucked up co workers and worse, working 8 hours and leaving the club with $400. WHAT I COULD MAKE IN ONE APPOINTMENT? never again.

    Kudos to all the strippers out there. My cousin is a stripper in hawaii and she's still making bank (very clean dancer).

    About the "weird" men: I've had maybe 3 guys I would consider "weird" in a year and half of escorting. Alot of my clients are normal. I've also never been abused in any way by my clients. I've suffered more abuse from the people in my personal life so you see? everyone's experience is different.

    Ladies muchas gracias for your posts...very good comments. I got hired at this club just last night and they seem very strict so it's kind of an honor...they weren't gonna hire anymore girls but b/c I stand out they said yes n told me I would start Monday....(in my head i'm like oh no...I already had something major planned on Mon Tues Wed of next wk. and I was hoping to start this weekend to make $ to pay for it. They also pay their girls a salary...not sure of all the details but it's only 10 min. from my hometown & I don't think people who know me would see me..that would ruin things w/ my family & career. Being an indi sounds great cause at this point in my life I need flexibilty but I can't afford payin for ads etc...maybe I'll call another agency today as a backup and see.

    You know what...it looks like I've made my decision...I'm gonna try the club thing....see if it works if not I'll have to go indy cause the dumb azz agencies suck. I called and talked to two today...they'd ask how I look and that some1 would get back to me....never heard anything. And the other day I text one pics of my body not my face...she never called me back. So I need to soon start my indy research ladies...any book or online how-to-suggestions? Much love.

    I think a lot of places wanna see your face if I'm not mistaken. Also, like every other job you have to stay on them. They might also not hire tattooed women, which can be fixed with the right makeup. Congrats on your decision!!

    I wish I had the balls to escort since dancing sucks right now.......I think the best way to make $$ is multiple sources of income....if dancing doesnt cut it try camming or escorting or porn on the side.

    im the same, i've only had one appointment i ever left but thats because the guy was weiiirrd and drunk and acting like an asshole. i don't ever want to strip because i get tired easily and i can't really dance that well, plus i don't really want to wear heels for a whole night lol escorting is quick money. even though backpage has a "bad" reputation i don't care, i still post there and get calls for $180-$200 which is on the higher end of the miami market, because a lot of out of towners come in and they know about backpage. But i make sure my ad looks good when I post on backpage so it doesn't look like "YES PICZ REAL 100% GR33K fREEK $50" which are a lot of the ads on backpage. I post on craigslist every once in awhile, not too much comes from there but a bunch of calls "hello are you the girl with the $80 specials" lol. I post on independentgirls.com , bid69.com also when I work independently in Miami. When i'm out of town I work with an agency, it's kind of nice to not have to pick up the phone and sift through these dumbass dudes sometimes lol
