The Lonely Hooker
I once heard the saying "As sad as a hooker on the Holidays", and I guess that's suggesting that ALL Escorts and Erotic Service providers are these lonely pathetic beings with no life and no one to love them. Although I am aware that this industry can be an isolating one that keeps the prospects for a regular relationship rather low, I am also aware that most providers are mothers and career woman, which hardly classifies them as lonely creatures.
Having studied psychology in college I learned that the feeling of loneliness is 70% in your head and the rest is usually a misplaced emotion due to boredom. Case in point- I watched a documentary last night on Jimmy Hendrix, and although he was constantly surrounded by people, fans, adulation, women, and his girlfriends; he often talked about how desperately lonely he was. This is the same for MANY celebrities, especially the ones with low self esteem.
As for the escort being lonely, it's usually based on the fact that she has no companionship. I NEVER give anyone that much control over my emotions, to where I'm whining about being lonely because I have no one to cook and clean up after besides my kid. OH NO! Now don't get me wrong gentlemen, this is not an attack on domestic living or anything, this is just me telling the world that I'll probably never be wife material, but at the same time I'll never be lonely either. In my case loneliness is not an option because I have a 7 year old son, a very close knit family, great clients, a good job, cool friends, and a relatively small amount of escorts that I keep in my inner circle. Not to mention all the projects that keeps me busy throughout the day. So hey, loneliness just isn't in my basic vocabulary.
I guess in the end this life isn't for everyone, especially those that have emotional issues to begin with. Put it this way: If you're an alcoholic, being an escort will make it worse; if you are a druggie, being an escort will make it worse; if you are depressive, a shopaholic, bipolar, have abandonment issues, or anything fucked up, being a whore will make it worse. If you are pretty well grounded, and have a strong head on your shoulders and keep busy, then you'll be fine. The loneliness will pass!
