It really doesn't matter what kind of money someone has. I've seen a guy with a $15k bar tabs at my favorite restaurant. And I've seen the same guy at the Taco Bell drive thru. I personally would not say something like the quote above because I don't presume to know other people's finances nor their financial priorities. But a wonderful response really got me thinking about who we all view ourselves here. Not just the ladies, but the gents as well. Is there too much assumption and judgment based on rates charged and monies spent?
I read the best response have seen in a while here and it really hit home:
We aren't commodities and they aren't buyers. Perpetuating this feeds into political agendas that are threatening our freedom of expression.

B, I absolutely love your posts. You are one of the more intelligent and erudite members of Eccie. I truly love reading your well thought out and logical views of our lifestyle.
And this post really nails it. A statement like; "you can't afford me"; is just wrong on so many levels. And absolutely we can't know or make assumptions about any one else's financial situation! Howard Hughes wore empty Kleenex boxes for house shoes. Probably while he ate Beluga caviar with a golden spoon.
Of course you can't buy a person. You CAN pay for services rendered, be it a massage, counseling, therapy such as listening and offering advice and supplying an empathetic and sympathetic ear.
We do all of that, as well as physical therapy and much needed stress relief.
I don't understand why current laws only allow our much needed services in certain states.
I've even looked into moving to California and becoming certified as a legal sexual surrogate.
SlowHand50 is so correct that the best providers use their skills and personalities to ensure that the client leaves happy, relaxed and satisfied. That's always been my goal, and when you care about people and enjoy your work it feeds your soul, gives a sense of satisfaction and makes you happy. Good providers are caregivers. As a former RN I've always felt like I'm still practicing nursing when I take care of my clients physically, emotionally and spiritually.
And being trendy, flashy and obvious looking was certainly not my goal. Except BCD of course! I love getting all fixed up in sexy lingerie, thigh highs and heels! But accompanying a client to dinner or a function, an intelligent woman would know how to dress sexy but appropriately and still look amazing but not trashy.
I hope someone smarter than I am can come up with some kind of plan to preserve our freedoms from the current political climate.
