When I'm in class, trying to socialize with the other ladies, I realize that we're not in the same stages in life. It gets pretty lonely. They're all either married, engaged, or waaaay too conservative for my lifestyle. LOL
I wish I could socialize with other providers in my area! Have a brunch here and there, grab a few drinks on occasions, etc...
I'm tired of pretending to be someone I'm not just to feel included.

Ya feel me?

I am not on your side of the equation but I feel your pain. I have no one I can trust with this except here and that is behind an alias. Learn to compartmentalize and don't rush into things and you may find someone to share with. I just can't imagine any school in the area you advise being so conservative that leaving this life out you could not find friends. Best to you.

Just be yourself around your friends and Forget about SultrySugar.  No need to be anyone else. When you are preparing for a provider date, combine you and SultrySugar together. I have only met a couple of providers that I socialize with personally and have gone out with. The key to having a good time with ladies that share our world is to no talk about our world when your together.

My best friend introduced me to this hobby. I haven't made the dive yet but I am looking to. He is the only one i can talk about even looking at with. We often show eachother the ladies in our areas. He always tells me about ladies he meets with.

Im sure most of us are open for chatting in person or online about anything.

I know her as a great MOM---I'm sure she would make you a good BFF), as MOMS often do tend to give their time(life's most precious gift) without a 2nd thought to those in need)

This is exactly what I meant/ Sometimes I want to vent, like with any job. God knows how much I vent after being locked in with an asshole surgeon for up to five hours. I'm a pretty private person, no doubt. But sometimes it would be nice to exchange stories and laugh those stressful days off with someone who knows what you're going through.

Personally I have a lot of "buddies" from the boards that I share a lot of shit with.  

I am not in the same position as you as I am not a provider, nor do I keep this part of my life a secret, but I do get you need to talk to someone who "gets it" and there is no one better for that than a "hooker buddy" or even a non needy, clingy or overly nosey client who you can vent to who won't confuse friendship with you "falling for him" I have several "hooker buddies" who call, text email me to vent and share things with me all the time, mainly because they know they can tell me anything and I won't repeat it, nor will I judge them for it.  

I don't know what the M&G scene is like in the Carolinas, but that is a GREAT way to get to know both potential customers and sister providers in a "safe" setting. I have friendships that go back a decade that started by meeting at a M&G.  

Good luck and I am sure you'll find a friend or two here. Don't tell Melissa I said so, but she might be a great place to start. We have this agreement that publicly we don't like each other too much, but privately she's ok in my book. Just don't tell anybody or I will deny it. After all, I have a reputation as a real prick to uphold. lol
