    Question escorting in a college town?

    Happy Sunday everyone i'm moving to Ann Arbor, MI at the end of summer (from NYC) for school and need to set up shop. I've been indy out here and have it pretty good--most of my customers are regulars who pay/treat me well. I am hoping to hear about how escorting or other adult work is in a much smaller town. I'll be starting from scratch but am hoping to "do it right" with a website and a good business plan. I'm willing to travel to detroit but I prefer to see if i can make it ok in Ann Arbor. Is it more risky in terms of LE noticing you? What about hotels? I'm willing to invest in a discreet incall location eventually. Any advice or shared experiences are greatly appreciated.

    These are my experiences working out of a tiny city on the outskirts of a college town. Every city is different.

    A friend of mine who was trained at the local police academy gave me a few pointers that's helped to keep me under the radar. First off, he says that LE in small towns like mine aren't actively seeking escorts because their resources are tied up in drug busts and the like. Unless someone makes a report, the money isn't there to go online and search for working girls to sting. Larger towns have more to work with, if that makes sense. Do a google search for the town you're moving to + prostitution stings (or however you want to word it). This will give you a better idea of what's going on in your area.

    Advertise out of the largest town over. The way I understand it, they can't go out of their jurisdiction to look for you in a small town. Its possible that the towns can work together, but that would be for a much larger operation as opposed to one working girl. Now, out of Greensboro and Raleigh there are busts often, but that's usually with Backpage.

    Again, all of this holds true for MY area. Things are a little different here in the southeast... but do some research, screen, and be discreet and you'll be fine.

    Some jurisdictions exchange undercover officers with other jurisdictions, to keep the officers from becoming well known.

    Like mentioned above, every area is going to be different, but I live and started escorting in a college town. There aren't many top-notch girls here so it's easy to stand out as "rare" higher-end which gives me pretty good clients. However, it also means there are many men who are just used to the cheap girls. There are definitely clients here, but I lasted a little over a year before I had to start advertising in the nearest big city, because once the newness factor wore off and I was left with the handful of devoted regulars and occasional traveling men, it was not sustainable as a sole source of income here. Maybe if I had another job, it would be perfectly fine as side money, but I maybe make about 2k/month off of my actual town. Much more comes from the big city.

    In terms of LE, I've never heard of much here and nobody seems to be concerned about it. I don't think they care much about prostitution stings in the college town. In the big city, absolutely, you have to be careful.

    About hotels: When I first started, I lived in a crap shack with a roommate. The way I dealt with incall requests was to keep in touch with people about a good weekend that would work for the majority of them, and once, sometimes twice, a month I would get a local hotel room for 2-3 days and see as many people as possible in that weekend. I bounced around to a different hotel every time. Even only doing that a couple times a month, I started to have to go back to places I'd already been, and that can get awkward. Some places don't ask questions and some look at the address on your license/reservation and ask why you're staying there since you live in town. I could only say "in between places" or "building renovations" so many times at the same place that has a record of my stays in their computer, ya know? About a year and a half in, I got an incall. It's been a good investment.
    Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    Ann Arbor may pose some interesting difficulties, or maybe it will be awesome. As BombshellBelle mentioned, LE focus on drug busts can take pressure off sex work, but in Ann Arbor, the situation is going to be more complicated as some of it is kind-of-okay, depending on where you are. With state laws conflicting with city laws (conflicting again with federal), you're more likely to have a police force that feels like they need to prove certain things. Also, when drugs aren't a big problem, they can get bored and go after us to justify their existence.

    I used to live in a small midwestern college town (~75,000 people), and the two years I was there I did *no* sex work (so boring!). There was one "escort" agency in town, and they were very strict in their advertisements, with no code words like GFE or "roses", and LE would *always* try to bust them by calling them to the same freaking hotel every weekend. They were only half-assing their attempts to bust girls, because the girls would always know that the appointment at the hilton on 3rd street was LE, and so long as they stuck to the "pay me for my time, you must be confused" line, they'd get $100 for the "confusion," and be on their way.

    The biggest issue I can think of though is that if there is a big "Town and Gown" separation, your professors are going to be your client base, as they'll be the ones with the most money in town. This can be good or bad. Where I live now, most of the young hot college girls sugar rather than escort, which probably has led to some of the lower rates around here, as well.

    Watch your market, see who the big fish are, exploit your small pond for now, but yeah, you'll want to travel to the big cities on weekends. Try to get a class schedule with a three-day weekend every week to make your weekends more profitable.

    funny, i thought about that possibility too! I don't think I will let any of my clients know I go to school here.

    Good points all around. You may have to tour a bit if you want more money.
    It's not about what you do for a living, it's about who you want to be.

    I live in a college town and while the money may not be as good as the bigger cities you might be surprised sometimes these smaller towns have a decent clientele. It really depends on a number of factors. But LE is everywhere even in the smaller towns. Each town is different but I know a lot of the times the drug bust they are looking for are also linked to prostitution. So a lot of times they will bust the girls really looking for drugs and pimps . Just do your research and please screen!
