I guess my pet peeve is that when you tell people you work for an Internet escort service, they automatically assume you are a hooker. Nothing could be further from the truth! Yes, there are hundreds of hooker sites disguising themselves as “escort services”, which makes it hard to find the real deal – a service that provides a good-looking intelligent man or woman to accompany someone on a platonic date for the evening.
I decided to get into this after my divorce. My shit of a husband ran off with his secretary, and I’m at home with 4 terrific kids, 11 through four years in age. I don’t really know what I saw in my ex, he really was a bit of a Neanderthal. After he left, I tried the dating scene, but having four kids complicated everything. Men blanched when they found out, and anyway it was almost impossible to get away on a date.
Then my friend Randi told me what she was doing. Randi is in her mid-30′s, like me, and she has kept her looks up. Single mother of two, Randi hit many of the same obstacles as me. Then she connected to MomEscort.com, which, yes, was really a legitimate escort service (it’s gone under since then, but there are plenty of others like it). Soon, Randi was picking up $300 a week for going on a couple of dates. This was a great deal, since it often involved dinner at a first-class restaurant, then excellent seats at a play or concert. And without exception, the men were gentlemen, never assuming there was more to the deal than the original agreement.
Well, I could use that kind of extra income, not to mention someone intelligent to have dinner and a date with. I signed up about three months ago, and I love it. It was slow at first, but now I average one escort a week, which is never less than $100 (cash, I might add). Some of the guys were on the boring side, but no one was a leper, and no one got fresh. Actually, with one guy, I was disappointed he was so well-mannered. He runs hedge fund investments at a prime brokerage, and I am scheduled to see him again next week.
Anyway, after paying for the babysitter, I’m clearing about $75 a week and having a ball. As you know, I have lots of opinions on just about every topic, so conversation is never a problem. If you are in a situation like mine, why not consider becoming an escort. It’s a blast!
