I really don't know where to start. So many factors involved that I think I'll just go the "stream of consciousness" mode.
I believe there is peer preasure from TS's to get into escorting & porn. It seems to be one quick way to be validated. Having guys worship you feels great to someone that may have just been struggling with their identity. Also some fast, big money. And if you are OK with having sex with a lot of strangers, then you have it made. But I also think there is a price to be paid... sometimes girls don't know that until the bill comes down the road much later in life and it's too late. Every girl I know that escorts and/or does porn could easily get a regular job. They look good enough, they are smart enough. But the escort life makes them lazy, flakey, sometimes a little bitter & hard and they always want a job that will pay as much as $200 for 30 minutes.... and they aren't going to find that.
But by the same token, if guys are just going to use you as some kind of fetish, why not get paid for it? if people are going to love you & leave you, I would certainly want to be compensated.
As far as the new girl, I was one of the people that told that new girl that if she was going to post nude pics, she should get paid for them. PERSONALLY, if I was her, I would NOT post ANY nude pics, but as long as she is going to, she should get compensation. It's stupid not to.
Relationships:
It seems that about 85% of BOTH guys & girls are really messed up and have a lot of issues. And that makes it very, very difficult for the rest of the 15% of sincere guys & girls to trust one another. People have been burned on both sides.
I'm one of the lucky ones. I didn't get into drugs or drinking and I went to school and got "edgukated". I also have my dream career that many people would kill for, but I have the same problems as many other people when trying to meet someone. You meet flakes, "playas", drunks, druggies, unemployed people, married guys, DL guys, blah, blah, blah.....
Also, many guys expect all trannys to be exactly like the sex machines they see in the clubs & in film. Just going to the movies holding hands & kissing??? How boring!!!! And going shopping at Whole Foods??? No way! Trannys don't go shopping! :wink: And if you don't meet their ideal look in any way, they don't even bother to get to know your personality. (A big problem with the girls, also.)
And one other thing I've noticed, in the TS world, most guys want the sex first, and THEN they will decide if they want to pursue that person for a date or a relationship. And I think that's a very difficult thing for a TS that may have trust issues with guys.
LET ME SAY THIS AGAIN..... this is NOT man bashing. I'm just pointing things out from my point of view. It's definately 50-50 when it comes to difficlulties between TS's & guys.
Trying to have a TLR in the tranny world is no picnic for either side.
