Funny you bring up the lifestyle aka spending lots of money. That IMHO is one of the biggest pratfalls to this biz: If you're popular, you can make 3 grand a week tax free. Pretty damn good money and from many sp's I know, nary a one has any savings.
Don't get me wrong, I know some don't make near that amount, but for those that do, large income, lots of clothes and toys, = no savings then when biz is slow, trouble happens.
Coupled with the fact that when you're making that much dough in this biz, regular jobs that pull that kind of salary are few and far between.
Couldn't agree more.
That may explain why it can be really dangerous for the guy to fall in love or having an emotion ties/infactuation to your regular SP or MPA, on top of the saying "there is no true love in the industry".
Cause you never know what kind of "liabilities" you are going to have emotionally and financially. This is also true to the SP/MPA as she can have too high expectation.
Regarding spending habits, I guess the difference between the "civilians"/non-pros and the pros should not be that significant as one do not need to learn how to spend excessively, except the industry magnifies the spending habits big time.
The industry is a double-edged sword for female undergrads as it provides fast money to pay down tuition debts fast while giving "flexibility" to focus on their studies but it can also be addictive as the fast money can "corrupt" the original purpose and turn the ladies in a rat race-earning more fast money to live on expensive lifestyle.
Plus, I always suspect many pros will probably not in any mood to entertain, let alone date and marry guys outside and inside the business. There are always exception but the stakes are always against her.
As far as finding a "replacement" job that compensate equal to this business, unless she is lucky enough to be a "trophied" wife of the very rich men, mostly white dude, otherwise just forget about it.
Personally, I have a couple of regular/favourite (infacturation) SP/MPA in this industry. Both seem to value my business and either of them shows her affection towards me as a person but I could never prove whether it is scripted. Sometimes I am tempted to express my feeling similar to tboy but giving up idea the last minute, for fearing to be labelled as patronizing, meddling or worse lecturing her how to get a life!
Deep in my heart, I wish both will get retired from the business, find mates who really cares them and have a much better life together going forward. But that will mean I lose a "buddy/friend", something others say money can buy in any case.
Damn, wtf am I talking here
