... it has nothing to do with "bad encounters" in their case, but rather running into people in the same circle of friends/family. If the ladies are in their 20s/30s and they have an active social life or have brothers/cousins with friends in the same age bracket, the last thing they would want is for their personal and professional lives to intersect. It could be disastrous. Granted, you always run that risk, but at least it decreases odds by setting that guideline.
I have heard of stories of ladies who require the age limit because younger guys tend to "party" or be demanding/intense. Personally, I have been in the industry over 15 years and I met with younger gents. The younger ones that I met with were sometimes a better experience than a client over 40, 50 or 60. It all depends upon the individual.
Some mature providers may set that limit because they would be able to connect better with someone closer to their age. Conversation regarding likes, interests, etc. will flow better with someone closer to your age and the comfort level is better. Again, I think it should be done on a case by case basis. Hell, I have met 50 year olds who act 25 and 25 year olds who act 90! Some may argue "who cares about conversation" but in the end, both must feel comfortable. Although a 20 year girl is hot, we have all seen the 90 year old man with the 20 year old beauty. At the end of the day, what do they have in common? What would their conversations be like? What music do they listen to? Where would they go on a Friday night at midnight?
As an assistant, I do not think the ladies should put limits. Each person should be offered the opportunity to meet and screened accordingly. They tend to limit themselves and perhaps loose out on meeting someone younger 40 (or whatever their criteria is) who is an awesome new client/friend.
In the end though, it is the provider's decision and they each have their specific reasons for setting an age limit. We must accept it and respect it. There are so many beautiful, top rated courtesans in this industry these days, thank God there is plethora of ladies... so many to choose from, so little time. Lucky boys
"AGE AIN'T NOTHING BUT A NUMBER" is what I like to say. It's maturity, interests, comfort level and chemistry.
