I agree! It is tough to constantly be judged on superficial things such as hair colour, boob size, how skinny our waist is, etc. etc. when some of us feel we have so much more to offer (that many guys couldn't care less about). That is the nature of the business though - the clients aren't here to make us feel good about ourselves. They're here for their own reasons. C'est la vie!
Not to sound like we're jumping all over you for your post, but dear, our whole society is rife with makeup ads, beauty ads, diet drugs, images of what women should be etc etc etc and I hate to admit it, but guys are visual creatures and women play on that.
As my esteemed colleague said before me: try being on the other side of the fence (male). I say time and time again that women invent 1,000,000 reasons to tear a man down. Most are just as superficial as those that you've stated. here's some examples:
Too tall/too short
Too big/too small
Too fat/Too thin
Not dressed good enuff/Dressed too good
Not Smart enuff/Too smart (aka nerdy)
Loves his car too much/Doesn't have a nice enough car
Doesn't live in a good neighbourhood/Lives in too nice a neighbourhood
Anyhow, back to the original topic, I think it takes a special kind of woman to be an sp and to be a good sp, you have to enjoy your work. (well, to be good at anything you have to enjoy it).
I think as with all things if you don't want to do it forever, one should have a game plan to get in, make the money, invest wisely, then get out.
For the record I really love hearing of sp's who move on and find someone really special to spend their life with. There are some who are involved and still stay in the biz and that's their choice but I still believe in monogamy and enjoy hearing about those who have found it.....
