No different from asking any other girl out IMHO.
Depends. If you have a current "provider/ client" relationship, this is easier said than done. And the ball is clearly in her court. And she has to be clear and honest about her intentions so there is no misunderstanding. If the client is comfortable with the provider's honesty and candor it may work, but both have to be very accepting and honest. (I guess that in a way is no different than any other relationship... )
Me too, if my above comments are taken into consideration.
So in a sense, it may be wiser for a lady to have a relationship with a client, they both just have to get past that client-provider relationship.
Exactly.
That is one big part of it but to those of you presuming these women are "same as any regular girl"
I changed that to "regular girl" so as to not put an age to the provider since age is immaterial...
a. The other women, a lot of them are living a life of sacrifice and delayed gratification. Psychologists have done studies on importance of delayed gratification and correlation to a successful life - chicks who take the subway day in and day out and not fancy cars or expensive dinners with old clients are not the same as sex workers who chose this line of work for an easy life.
Different argument entirely... privileged vs work for a living... Or in the case of an SP, fantasy vs reality.
b. Some of these women are emotionally empty. It's not a hit on them - it's an unfortunate reality. Men are a means to an end, they are dependent on a man to come back again and again to see them. It's how they make their basic living. This will affect their relationships too.
Men can be just as emotionally empty. A quick read through this thread is evidence enough of that!
c. Lying could come easier to a person given to living a double life. If 10,000 hours is supposed to make one a pro, will a sex worker who lies to her immediate family lie to a SO without guilt and as easily? Possibly.
Men are just as guilty of running a double life! Again, a quick read though many of the threads on this forum will tell you that. Lying is NOT gender specific.
"regular" girls have their issues too, no doubt. But there's some things common to sex workers and let's not presume otherwise.
I used to think this as well... but in the past few years, I've been "dating" a number of women that know I am not "exclusive" to them. I refer to them as FB or FWB instead of "GF". We go out for dinner, maybe dancing or some other activity and have some fun, including a fair amount of sex as well of course, but its just an escape for them and myself from our otherwise busy lives. One is married, so she goes back to her hubby. One is a single mom, and doesn't have time for a relationship, and one knows she is emotionally "unstable" so we keep it casual. We have some fun, its an escape, a fantasy with a time line so to speak... I am aware of their situation, and they are of mine. In that respect, I suppose it is very similar to an SP/ client relationship...
At the end of the day, if everyone involved is getting what they want, is honest with themselves as well as their partner(s) and no one gets hurt, its all good.
