    Default Too unattractive to be an escort?

    Hello everybody. I've been looking to get into the escorting business, but Im having trouble.
    No one will hire me. I've contacted quite a few agencies in my area, I give them a description about myself. They say okay, then ask for a picture.
    I send them one, and I never hear from them again. I know that looks play a part, but am I really that hideous?

    I don't like throwing the race card around but is race a factor too? (im black)

    I've heard a lot of people talking about how agencies are notorious for not getting back to people, both from the initial contact and then in the middle of it. I would keep trying, and maybe call the agencies and keep following up to try and see why they weren't interested. Do you do any other kind of sex industry work, like dancing?

    Bullshit. Go indy. Anyone can make money in the escorting business. Agencies are for suckas ;-). I know fat and not so attractive ladies that make darn good money escorting. Just practice good customer service and have good bedroom skills and you'll be popular. You just never know until you try. Remember looks are subjective.

    Agencies are ripoffs anyway. Why should they get 40-50% of our money when we're the ones doing all the work? Go independent. Escorting is not like stripping-I know girls who would never get hired at a decent strip club that make a good living escorting. Your personality matters way more than looks when escorting and from reading reviews, most guys would much rather have an average or plain looking girl who is friendly and good in the sack than a girl with supermodel looks who is mechanical and all about the money.

    ^This.

    If you're short of money, you can advertise on craigslist and use the vista print website to make business cards (they have a 250 cards for free, just pay s/h which is five bucks), and once you have become established, create a website to increase your traffic. Also, having sex with customers is totally up to you; it is not mandatory, just do whatever makes you feels the most comfortable.

    Agencies are pain in the ass, they mostly are racist in general, so your looks propbably has nothing to do with it, if its possible go independent. I know starting out with an agency will get you some cash and some experience, but you will learn more being independent. If you can, to get an idea of what to expect I highly recommend getting Amanda Brooks books.

    You could also start webcamming if possible to get start up money to go independent as an escort as well.

    Are you an escort?

    If you were, you would not give out such bad information.

    CL's adult services section has been shutdown for a long time.
    CL is NOT the place to advertise on a low budget. She will get better results on backpage.
    BTW what does she need a business card for? If she's not going to vegas, she does not need
    those ridiculous things. All that is IS more paper trail. What is she going to do, go to home depot and pass them out? C'mon bad advice.

    Minnie, camming for escort start up money is brill.

    That thread is so all over the place.
    I couldn't even read the op almost. What she is complaining about is what this industry has been
    going through for years bleh. To stand out from the pack, be unique and find a niche.
    unattractive girls are all over the industry. Sometimes they even make more money than the pretty ones
    because they think outside the box with their marketing/bedroom techniques (no be safe at all times).
    Cheap advertising is cityvibe, backpage..etc

    I totally laughed out loud at this. I thought the exact same thing; it reminded me of going promoting for the club or something. What's she gonna do, stick the cards on people's car windshields lol

    Im totally going to print out cards and put them on peoples windshields.
    I'll let y'all know how it goes.

    Btw...who here wants to be my bond buddy? (just in case...)

    Criags is actually a very good idea... I just need to go back in time about 5 years, and Im golden.

    Anywazlies... I agree with everything that has been said about agencies. Granted, I have not ever worked for one, but Im a "my rules, my way" kind of girl. Also, I will say...I have heard that black females have a hard time with agencies, because they want to keep things mainstream, to appeal to a broader range of guys. And the mainstream look is the petite, blonde, blue type. A black woman could be gorgeous, and either get passed by, or they will take them on and make her rates lower than the rest of the ladies. So please dont take it personally or second guess your looks....dont let them make you think it has anything to do with that. They are just doing what they feel is best for thier business and what will make them the most amount of money.

    When youre independent, you can do what is best for *you* and *your* business... I highly suggest dong your research and going for it

    I worked with a blk model at an agency who was a thick curvy type , not fat just curvy. She was just below top earner for the year by a thousand or two, not one year but for 5 years straight. She was fun to be around, changed her look with wigs often, was available for calls often , and was open to the types of calls she accepted ( fetish-couples-etc). The earnings I spoke of were what was on the books , she made way more in tips and shows sold. I currently work with a blk lady who is also a top earner. She is at the gym every morning at 7am , the hair/nail salon weekly, dresses immaculant,and puts herself on call daily. I lovingly call her the cleaning lady - because she cleans these poor guys wallets out. She is a money making machine. The agency rarely has more than 3 blk ladies at a time because the clientelle here can support the request for that many blk ladies, more than that and the money gets spread to thin - 2 or 3 ladies can do very well for themselves here. ( at this paticular agency)

    There are exceptions of course, and Im sure a lot of it is demographic too...but the average agency goes for the "typical" euro version of beauty, and do not hire anything that looks exotic, inc black females.

    What do you mean by tips and shows sold btw?

    Here the guys pay a base rate to the door ( licensed agency) - agency and lady split - then whatever you sell to them or they give you - you keep for your self- I know it is different everywhere - currently there are 5 of us in our 40"s - 3 thick or heavy ladies - one even older lady just recently left that was in her late 50's - last summer they were scrabling to find another blk model when one lady finished school and quit -they try to be diverse - I can only speak from my experience -

    Years ago ( in the mid 90's) i used to go to Atlantic City and work for a couple of agencies for a week here and there - I always did well since I had blue eyes and blonde hair and most of the local ladies were of Italian decent or blk- and i had a southern accent - so i was different - so I agree demographics can play a role in what is marketable -

    It's sounds like she worked for one of those upsell agencies.
    You know the ones where they advertise one rate but when they arrive it's a different story
    and you're having to pay more. Agencies like that (the ones that upsell) are looked down on
    in the industry.

    Well , In general most ladies here are indy, so any agency is looked down upon. Not everyone is willing or able to work independent.This agency has been in business since 1990, has a huge regular customer base, treats the ladies very well, has a license so LEO harrasment is almost nile. The customers know they are paying a booking fee to get you to the door , then we are free to charge whatever we want and it's ours.Who looks down on that ? the cheap customers.

    I know there are other ladies here who work agency. There are several who want to , they have sent me pm's. I have much respect for you ladies who fly independent but it is not for everyone for different reasons. No one wants to speak up to help these ladies because of the feeding frenzy that will follow . Are there bad agencies out there - hell yes - just the same as there are bad clubs and cam sites. Why cant everyone just respect the the OP's choice in how they choose to get their hustle on?


    In my opinion , telling a lady who has never done this to put an ad on backpage is dangerous. There are alot of situations that can get an inexperienced lady hurt. Experienced ladies get hurt - agency or independent.

    Not true at all...any agency isnt looked down on just because Im Indi, and I know other Indi ladies who started with, or part time work for agencies with good things to say about them. But if something sounds shady, it sounds shady, whether its the way an indi or an agency does business.

    I know a handful of local agency owners who have excellent work ethic. Among other things, there is no upsell, whatever rate they quote a client, is what the client pays...and they take hearing about a girl trying to extract more money or cheat a guy in any kind of way seriously. They have a reputation to protect...if a girl walks in with an upsell, it reflects poorly on them, not the girl. So yeah, I have no issue at all with *good* agencies who are upfront, do good business, take care of the girls who work for them and fair to the guys who call them, and if I knew someone who wanted to work for an agency around here, I wouldnt hesitate to recommend them to one of those.

    Anyway, not every girl is cut out to run her own business, but no matter how great an agency is...they are still going to only hire ladies who they think will make them money...so if a girl is having issues getting work at an agency, then its worth looking into working for herself.

    Exactly Sharpie. A reputable agency will NOT upsell. If you think upsell is the welcome in this business then you have no clue. Check out theeroticreview.com and educate yourself.

    I agree - shady is shady - but - if a client knows going in that the booking fee is just that - a booking fee - then what is shady about that ? - bait and switch - yes that is shady - we have a ton of long time regulars - it works for us - ageed that cheating a client in any way in not acceptable - happy clients are long time clients - there are 7 other agencies in this city and we dominate in regular customers / longevity of ladies who stick around - there are more ponds to fish in other than the erotic review - many of my clients have no clue what a hobbiest is - i started escorting in 1985 - i paid cash for my farm and for the house i owned before that -paid cash for any car i have driven since 1985 as well as new cars for my kids -my kids went to private school/ college - i have traveled to more places than i ever dreamed i would have - foolishly spent a ton of money shopping / partying - i think i have all of my clues - as far as educating myself - i wish i would have educated myself on saving more than i spent - you dont stay young ( as marketable ) forever

    yes - I agree - most places will look for ladies who are marketable - my point was - the lady should not give up because she wasnt hired where ever she had tried maybe just try to change up somethings to make herself stand out- my mothering instincts just kick in when i hear of someone going out on their own who has no experience - some of these guys are very preditory / dangerous and take advantage of ladies who are new -if they can get in with someone or an agency to at least get their feet wet maybe something they learn will keep them safe - some ladies are naive to what the customers ( or agencies )are capable of - my concern comes from a place of love
    My intention was not to blow my own horn - but I dont appreciate being accused of being clueless or dishonest - I am neither - I just felt that the majority of ladies here work independent and have issues with working an agency - not all but a majority - I have not seen anywhere ( on SW) a lady seeking to work for an agency who was able to get information other than - dont do it go indy- ripoff - maybe i missed it - if i did i stand corrected - i mentioned to one person in another thread i would pm her some information on things to look for in an agency - i received other pm's asking for the same - so obviously there are ladies here who want or need that information - Please share with them information they can use to make the best choice possible- isnt that one of purposes of this forum ? Maybe my deal isnt the best but it has given me a nice living, I have stayed safe, never been to jail- What else could I ask for ???
    So , I've thrown myself under the bus as I predicted. I've said my piece. Hopefully something you all share will help put a new lady on a safe profitable journey into escorting.

    Breathe..relax...Im not arguing with you I promise. I was just giving my point of view, and I promise you, Im the last person youd need to prove or explain in such detail to. Hope I dont come across that way.

    Now I will say...not everyone who is indi started with an agency and we all start with no experience no matter which path chosen. The only way to gain experience with something...is to actually do it. If we as women were so fragile that the only way to safely be an escort is with an agency, men would dominate the indi arena. That, of course, is not the case. If someone is savy and smart enough, they are capable of learning the ropes.

    Like I said, not eveyone is cut out for indi, and not everyone is cut out for agency. Agency is not the only way, Indi is not the only way, but if one is not working, there is absolutely nothing wrong with trying the other. We all have options....

    Back in the fall a 24 year old hottie left the agency - actually she was a little out of control - the money kinda went to her head and she was told to take a break and get herself together - not cool/safe to work under the influence - she had only worked for 4 or 5 months - anywho she decide to go indie and put an ad on backpage - within 2 weeks she was badly beaten and robbed - of course this was after he had sex with her - over the years i have known of many women who were raped - robbed - or physically assaulted in some way - It changes them - forever -

    I confess - I'm a mother hen -Debbie Downer "wanwawa " I cant help it - I hate the thought of a lady getting hurt or taken advantage of - Yes , people get there by many different paths - We all have to do what we have to do - I just encourage ladies to educate themselves and keep your self in the safest enviroment possible - Money dont mean shit when you are dead or suffering from Post Tramatic Stress Disorder - a small mistake or lapse in judgement can get you hurt - last summer a lady who has escorted for 6 years went to a hotel - the guy came to the door with a towel over his head - kinda like he had been in a sauna or just out of the shower and he had the lights off in the room - she stepped back and told him he needed to turn the lights on - he did then he seemed a little nervous and told her he was going to get in the shower - her instinct told her that didnt seem right but he handed her the money and she sat down on the bed while he went to the shower - a few minutes later he came out and walked over and flipped out the lights - he proceeded to beat her in the face and rape her - afterwards he apologized for hitting her and told her next time he would give her more money - nice guy huh- her instinct told her that something was wrong but she didnt listen - just another strange guy - so even smart and savy can make a mistake


    There have been ladies who have said they wanted to work agency - i dont know if their reason was for security - established clients - not able to take calls from the customers - whatever - i just feel it is unfair that the main response from SW is just go indie agencies are ripoffs and for sucka's - some ladies cant or shouldnt do indie for different reasons - for those who can thats great - more money to ya - but the rest are asking for help - real answers to find their way - i only know my little piece of the world - I swear i am not an agency Nazi - I just think the veterans have a responsiblitiy to the next in line to keep them safe


    Oh , yea ,the 24 year old hottie found her way to hotlanta and met a pimp on backpage that she is now dating.
