Ok, this is catchup from the past couple of daze, so please forgive me if I get a little redundant.

from the little knowledge that i have learned within the past month of shemales, it seems a majority escort?
true or false?
False. Basing your conjecture on your time here at HA, it's like walking into a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous and determining that a majority of people are alcoholics. I mean, really, HA is a pedominantly 'pro' board, per se and it is populated (Mostly, but not all) by profesional women and a fair percentage of men who frequent same ('Frequent' being relative, of course).

Most ts are escorts sweetie.i would say at least 90%.
I beg to differ, Yasmin. Until I stumbled onto HA back in September/October of last year, all of the TS I'd met/known were in the mainstream. Primarily computer related careers with some in illustration or professional writers.
Nice pic, BTW. :)
Man, you really make my eyeballs hurt, but I know where you're coming from. :)

I agree with Mega on alot of those points, with the exception of GG's thinking with their hearts, there's a LOT of GG bitches out there running through men like Poland Spring water bottles....
I think I've dated them all.

TRY BEING ON HORMONES THAT SUPRESS YOUR SEXUAL DESIRE,,STAYING HARD FOR 4 TO 5 HOURS SHOOTING A SCENE..IF THAT'S NOT HARD WORK..WELL U GOT ME...OR BETTER YET...SEEING 10 GUYS A DAY SOMETIMES.. MOST U DON'T WANT TO BE TOUCH BY....BUT U PLAY THE PART FOR THE TIME PAID..NOT TO MENTION THE RISK OF GETTING HURT AND OR KILLED MEETING STRANGERS.
Yasmin hits on some good points here, some of which we so take for granted or overlook. To date, I've only been with a couple of T-gurls on an intimate basis, but I saw how they talked or reacted in certain ways that reminded me that these were not your average 'date'. Even on second and third 'dates' they were wary of me and my intentions. I asked one of them about her 'average' day and she said it was not uncommon to have seven appointments in a day. That's a lot of pretending to do in a a single day.

Weve all had our hearts broken by thoughtless and careless people, but I cant imagine just giving up and not being open to the possibility that the next one I meet might finally be the one for me.

I THINK MARK TWAIN SAYS THIS. (NOT EXACT WORD)."A MAN DON'T PAY FOR SEX, HE PAYS FOR HER TO GO AWAY AFTER SEX)
Gotta love Twain. Whoever said it, it explains where I went wrong in all of my 'relationships'.
Quote:
That and the fact that women tend to be drawn to men that are bad for them over and over again, and wind up getting screwed up mentally and emotionally to the point where when a decent compatible guy does come along, they find some way of messing it up either through fear of committment or even manufacturing problems in the relationship....Or there abused and are so used to abuse its all they think they deserve and cant be comfortable in a normal relationship.......
*Sigh* It appears we know/date/love the same women.
Over a recent dinner, I told "The Wife" (A title, not a relationship) that women tend to treat their relationships much as they do their cars. They typically desire the muscle cars or misfits (Like a Camaro or Yugo) rather than anything practical or long-lasting. After a period wherein they extole the virtues of the new ride to their friends, saying how great it is and how much fun, they start to ponder new seat covers or how they might have preferred a different color or model.
As small issues begin to develop, they turn up the radio and ignore them. When serious problems surface, they will complain about them to everyone on the planet =except= the one person that can fix it. Finally, when it blows up in their face, they will abandon it by the side of the road and spend the rest of their lives blaming the =car=.
She sat there, staring at me in silence for a bit, and then said "My god! I can't find any flaws in that analogy!" Since then, she's been afraid to have dinner with me.

Anyway, what tricks are basically paying any escort for is a TEMPORARY FANTASY.
Yet, to some small number of us, it is not a fantasy but some small way of having a 'relationship' that clearly hasn't worked otherwise in the normal routine of things.

If you don't enjoy the work, do you really have that much trouble finding another job?
While it may be easy for some to utter "Would you like fries with that?", the rest of us have mortgages, car payments, heating bills, etc. that Quag's (McDonald's) will never satisfy. Add to that the barrage of meds and aftermarket enhancements that are on the lists of most of the gurls, and 'finding another job' is damned near impossible. What if the gurl has other health issues? Oops! No national health care, remember? Going to school? Fuggetaboudit. Would you like to supersize that?
Personally, I hate my job in the real world and wish I had peddled my ass when I was nineteen and hunky (Though, at the start of the AIDS crisis, I surely would have been dead long before now), but I am trapped in it by lack of education (I have neither time nor funds to continue) and a benefits package that I simply can't ignore. So, while I am not an escort, yes, I would have trouble finding another job. Employment is relative to one's situation and it is rare that otherwise sound advice as "Look for another job" can actually be heeded.
Quote:
Even when dealing with someone that they truly care about, escorts tend to occupy themselves with schemes entailing numerous forms of manipulation. In short, manipulation, lying, and deception become a way of life.
You've just described many of my ex-gf's (And all of my business partners, but that's another story) none of whom were escorts. Perhaps it's a women-are-from-Venus thing.

If a Job oppertunity comes to light, will you turn it down?
Basically would you rather have;
A) $12 an hour honest pay with your pride?
or
B) $200 an hour where you have to swallow your pride and post about how "degrading it is"?
Would you rather work ten hours a day or only two for your goals? Again, it's all relative (And here I am speaking as one who drooled with desire to work for Boston's "T" back when it was paying a measly $10 an hour in the seventies).

This topic evolved from it's original question, I apologize for my part in that, but I'm glad we discussed it.............
Odd, how conversations evolve that way.

What is the typical loser trick?
Hmm...<Waving hand>...I might qualify. I'm 48, overweight (But not overly so, and I've been losing some of late), geeky, socially inept, yada, yada, yada. You know the drill. I've been with more women (GGs) in the last twenty years than most men =dream= about in a lifetime and enough men to effectively question my sexuality. Yet, not more than eight years ago, I got kicked in the head by a GG 'lover' that so damaged my psyche that I am not likely to ever have a satisfying 'relationship' (With man, woman, or 'tweener') ever again. So, in recent years/months I have turned to the companionship provided by escorts. Bonus points that I scored both tits =and= a dick in the same date. :) For me, they provide companionship, someone I can talk to without worrying if I'm offending them, some down-n-dirty fucking and sucking that requires only a basic amount of negotiation, and in the end, I don't have to worry about the typical schizophrenic, game-playing, psycho bullshit that I have been buried in by every past 'realtionship' I've had the misfortune to experience. And trust me, the $2-300 an hour 'donation' is far cheaper than the extended therapy, psychotropic meds, lost wages, etc. inherent to the average 'normal relationship'. And I've yet to meet the TS escort that inspired thougths of suicide.
