Well guys...what are my options???

[TrueBeauty TS]

1. I think it's mostly the money. What other job can command 200-400 an hour?

Lawyer, surgeon, Fortune 500 CEO, top level politician....yep, taking that much scratch for an "hour's" work is pretty easy pay. But that also comes back around to the question of why so many girls waste that income (though fortunately not all by any means).

Because it's human nature. Many people think the good times will never end. (Espcially when you are 18 years old) There are always stories of Lottery winners that are broke. Or actors that spent all their money because they didn't think about their movie career sputtering to a halt, etc, etc...

As far as the money thing goes, I was thinking in terms of an 18-25 year old tranny girl making that much money. Not too many 18-25 year old trannys that are Fortune 500 CEO's, Surgeons, Lawyers, top level politicians.....

Well, for that matter, not many 18-25 year olds are Fortune 500 CEOs, surgeons, lawyers, or top level politicians, either. It takes time to both earn the advanced degree (for most, especially among lawyers and surgeons, though obviously not so much for President, lol) and to garner the experience required for that pay scale. So yes, for an 18-25 year old, sans a breakout pop music career, there aren't many such options.

And there's my 1000th post--I had to make it part of a meaningful dialog and not just another picture post.

And now I'm certified! Got a buck fifty for a cuppa?

How did you two meet?

"Oh I saw her in shemale road trip #xx and fell in love."

Better...

"Well I was dating her for a while off of the erosguide, and through that, I realized that she was the girl for me."

My guess is that it's already happened to some extent and nobody knows it. Kind of like a Tula situation before she was outted. Not all TS are stupid enough to get into the porn industry as you happen to know darlin'.

Why on earth would anyone have to provide that kind of full disclosure? I'm sure there are lots of straight couples who have met in similarly offbeat ways and never advertise it. Just say it was fate, or kismet, or tell a white lie about meeting in a club. Or a grocery store. Or at the gym. Its not like they are going to impeach you by whipping out a wireless laptop and linking to Eros, or that mp3 video file of your AVN winning performance.

Quinn, your posts are welcome and well taken, but I have to disagree, mildly. As Ernest Hemingway said, "The very rich are different from you and me --they have more money" . Old money isn't concerned about a narrow spectrum of sexual expression. Its about discretion. The rich are every bit as diversely kinky as the rest of us, they just tend to keep it on the QT better. If you were to start dallying with GG strippers or porn stars, openly and outrageously, your career would be every bit as at risk. If you were to date that same GG stripper or porn star, but quietly and tactfully, there might be some gossip but I doubt people would pull their accounts. I think the same holds true for what would happen if you were to date a TG girl. If you kept it "in your pants" metaphorically speaking, people might notice but they probably wouldn't care. People only look closely or cross eyeed at you when you make a spectacle of yourself.

all interesting thoughts and opinions...I love it when you cats come out of the wood works with your thinking caps on...

Felicia,

Love the Hemingway quote. I do agree with certain points contained within your post. First, I would certainly suffer some form of censure were I to keep company in a very public manner with stippers or porn stars, not just with a TG. I also agree that the very rich are every bit as kinky as the rest of us. In fact, in most cases, I would say they are far worse (far more extreme fetishes because of the overavailabity of everything to them).

I also agree that they are far more discreet, which is why they seem to feel so comfortable in applying a double standard to those who benefit from their largesse. In my experience, those I have had to deal with are extremely fraternal in their thinking. They do not permit indiscretions by those that serve them because it may bring their own indiscretions into focus. In other words, a guy hidding his own drug addiction is unlikely to spend time around someone else who has a similar drug addition that becomes public, etc. Think of the old guard in the Republican Party, denouncing public immorality and claiming to be the protectors of family values -- all the while cheating on their wives by banging nineteen-year-old interns and high priced escorts.

Everyone's experience may not dictate the same lesson that I have learned. As you said, it is all really a matter of discretion.

"Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion be your tutor. Suit the action to the word, the word to the action, with this special observance, that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature. "
William Shakespeare - Hamlet

Great fucking Board this is. Laughter, sex, and interesting debates all in one place.

Great quote, Quinn! 'Tis not often one hears Hamlet's advice to the players spoken "trippingly on the tongue" in this forum!

Wow. Interesting. Very few companies can get away with that M to F ratio. Do you run a gay bartenders union by chance? I'm joking of course... but that is a pretty whack ratio.
