If you don't want to seriously reconsider being involved in the whole "hobby" scene, then DO NOT READ THIS!

Do all providers feel this way?  Do we have a little more tact in nyc or am I delusional?

..."Well, dickhead, I shagged 6 other blokes today already".

Need I say more?

Well...she's a provider from Dublin, so I guess that's how she'd speak normally.

I was referring to her shagging (at least) 7 blokes in one day, and insinuating that this is the norm for her.

Where do we begin?

She has contempt for the profession and men who partake. I guess she was a miserable human being during her time as an escort. But I'd say that about anyone who hates their job or their co-workers or both. If it's that bad then get out ASAP.. even if it takes years.. get the hell out and find something you're happy with.

Without directly saying it she thinks that the "hobbyists" can't form traditional society-accepted relationships. Some people don't want traditional relationships, and some people really do like jumping off mountains. The world is full of diverse people. Get over it.

Last point - if you're in love that's fantastic. If you want the house and picket fence and church on Sundays stuff, fine. But sometimes we just want sex. Hot, lusty sex. That's it. If anyone reading that article comes away thinking they have a problem then they should see a shrink or do some self-introspection. Me? I don't give a rat's ass. Please pass the pussy and the whipped cream.

Oh, and I know I only have 2 reviews. That doesn't mean I'm not busy

somebody get that poor irish lass some occupational therapy and a pint or two of some stout.

because I don't belong in any of those categories she mentions in the article.

There is nothing wrong with the men she talked about.  i work many hours during the week and like to get my kicks off every now and then....What the hell is wrong with that.... And after seeing most of my business friends end up having more than half taken from them (after marriage) I see myself on the right side of things. Whats wrong with getting a little "tang" every now and then....geeezzzz

First off,

this was very very very hard to read due to the absolute bitterness of the authoress.  (Also, she's not fond of using the paragraph device to separate her thoughts, adding to the trouble.)

When I took a breath and applied calm thought to her aptly-named rantings, I still couldn't get through them all.

It's a gorgeous day in NYC now and I want to gad about in my sundress before it gets dark -- rather than read some slog from a bitter, angry woman.  I mused upon the fact that her blog is called "Rantings and Ravings of a Dublin Escort".  This, to me implies that she somehow wants a large audience; why not call it:  "Rantings and Ravings of a Former Dublin Escort"?

What got to me was her saying that many men fall into certain groups, and "most are not pleasant."

Okay, NYC and Ireland are two different concerns.  I've been in this for a good while.  Yes, I'm new to TER...yes, I am reviewless (I am NYC's Reviewless Wonder.)  But, again, to my credit, I have been at this for some time, and I can say, while I have had some unpleasant times, the majority have been wonderful.

Like attracts like, that's all I have to say.  And that's what I've gotten -- for a good many years now.

Best to all, even the bitter lass in Ireland.

...I meant to add this to my earlier post.

Her url is:  workinggirlindublin at Blogspot.

Again, one would be led there, thinking they'd get a blog from a, well, working girl in Dublin.  I was!  Instead they get the rantings of an ex.  To me, that's a tad bait-and-switch!  Passive-aggressive, even.

I follow many of my colleagues' fine blogs and have often been asked to write one myself.  (VANITY INTERRUPTING)   Ahem...for those who know me, my blog'll be called 'Confessions of a Design Whore'.  You read that first here!

Enjoy your Saturday!  I'm bounding out in my red sundress.

Well said.

I thought what she was saying what pretty accurate. Some quotes I completely agree with are.....

"Trying to make me CUM.
-Now why oh fucking why are punters so obsessed with this? QUIT NOW...IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN YOU DIPSHITS!! You just paid €250 to jack off inside me, and that is VERY different to making love with a significant other...not that I would expect any of you to have ever done the latter, but trust me it is..
I have to spend my life in a state of theatricality with you people...moaning and gyrating like I'm lapdancing for Latvia, but TRUST me it's all bullshit!! You DON'T bring me pleasure, and I get pissed off with having to act like you do just to appease your oversized egos!!"

"Telling me you want me to enjoy it
-This is my JOB. Does a plumber ENJOY putting his hands down toilets? No. He gets paid to. No different with me..... Nuff said."

"It's true that there really is no business like escorting. No business that offers the chance for such addictively fast cash in such a short space of time, and no business that will show you in such a short space of time what (some) men are really all about..."

"once you cross that line into escorting don't think you'll be stepping back into normality any time soon. Something inside of you changes, and it changes for the worst. For starters, you'll lose any romantic illusions you once held about men and relationships...they really ARE all about one thing. You'll find yourself initially shocked at the bestiality of male sexuality, and the seemingly inherent ability that these men have to lie and deceive. Some of them are even lying to themselves, not just their "significant" others..."

"When you first start out you'll kid yourself that you can handle it, you're strong enough, and all these men that you don't even like or find attractive paying money to screw you has no impact....and then you'll try to leave and have a "normal" life, possibly a "normal" relationship...only then will you realise how much it has really wrecked your head. Every time your boyfriend is late home, you'll wonder what he's REALLY doing. You'll wonder if you are now on the receiving end of the same thing all those men's wives and girlfriends were with you, and then when you have sex, he'll do or say something and it'll remind you of a punter..."

I guess thats enough for now. And don't give me that bullshit about how if escorts don't like what they're doing then they shouldnt do it. No one likes waking up and going to work everyday... they like the money.

I've always said this is what they think of guys who pay for it.   It's not rocket science.   The minute you hand her the money, you loose all value.   It is automatically assumed you're desperate and can't get laid - instant turn-off to women.   Nothing will turn them off quicker than them thinking you have trouble getting laid.  

Anyhow, I don't fall into any of the mentioned categories either.   I'm a typical "wham bam thank you mam" type of guy in and outside of the hobby.   I don't yearn for an "emotional" bond with the women nor do I get attached.   Now, wait up a minute, that's not to say either that when I meet women outside of the hobby that I'm cold, stone-faced, etc.   If I come across a hot, cool chick that I seem to click with, I'll bond to her, but not in a clingy/needy sort of way either.  

What a lot of people also don't realize either, is that lots of times guys who are paying, are guy's who are good-looking, guy's with good social skills, guy's with lots of friends, and guy's who know the art of how to bond with women.   The big misconception out there is it's predominantly the guy's who aren't good-looking, socially inept, needy/clingy, stalkerish, etc.   When I go to Amsterdam, I see lots of good-looking guy's paying.   I've said it plenty of times, most women don't care if you're a good-looking guy, how in tact your social skills are, etc.   We ALL struggle.   Attraction works completely different for the greater majority of them.   Women respond to many, many different types of stimuli, and what one woman might respond to, another won't.   Every woman is different.   But one thing they all(at least 96%) have in common(particularly the hot ones) is that they must be gamed in some way or another.   If attraction worked the same for both sexes, every guy would be f*cking a hot chick or every hot chick he wanted and we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.

Actually I found this lady's rantings hilarious. But you shouldn't take her rantings as the stereotypical opinion of all providers. She's merely commenting on her experience in the hobby. Yes she didn't enjoy her job but I can think of at least 4 providers off the top of my head who definitely came while they were with me, so I know they enjoyed themselves. And while I will admit to some truth of her categorization of us hobbyists it's definitely not the whole truth. Many of us have no problems forming satisfying relationships outside of the hobby and may do this while between such relationships. And many of us genuinely care about the providers we see, even though we know the relationship is temporary. So I say don't swallow the rants whole, but take them with a grain of salt, and most of all laugh at them!

I can't even begin to fathom her psyche.  I'd say she's got more issues than many of us do.  I mean talk about being  judgmental.  Besides, I would think she would have had an easier time of it leaving her "job" than the typical 9 to 5 crowd or one who manages their own business.

Couldn't have said it better myself: not everybody wants the traditional relationship type.  The "traditional-what-society-accepts" relationship is just that: what society accepts right now.  Clearly wasn't the standard hundreds of years ago.  Not saying that we should revert to that, but many people just like, well, sex.

She is more than a bit cynical, but I am sure that not all providers feel like her.  Sure, at the end of the day it is work for providers and a release of some kind for us hobbyists.  I, for one, also enjoy the personal interaction and the stories I get to share with my better ladies.  I love several of my regulars and I think they like me too... or at least they tell me so, and that is enough for me.

The bottom line is there is no mention of anyone putting a gun to this providers head.  If you are truely seeing 7 "blokes" (plus the guy your bashing)  in a day @ 250 pounds a piece, you're making 2000 pounds a day!  Shut up!  Like any job you chose it!  She could have chosen to be a poor struggling artist and worked at the local pub but she chose to be an escort.  We should all see her for what she is... a sad, sad, miserable person who sounds like she just might be burnt on the bizz that SHE chose and most likely past her prime.  Word to the wise for "Miss Dublin"; let it go and take responsibility for your life.

She complains about the customers who try to get to know her on a personal level, then later she complains when other guys treat the business like a business.

A lot of her misery seems to come from the fact that she thinks exchanging money for sex is a revolting idea. If that's her belief, then every man she meets on the job is a low-life in her eyes. Is it a surprise then, that she's so miserable?

I'd be curious to know what the ladies here think.

This is not even so much a hobby-related issue she has.  It's a personality thing; some people are just simply mean spirited and hateful.   I would bet that no matter what her former occupation, she would post something similar.   If she was a waitress, she would rant about the small tippers, excessive coffee drinkers, undecided time takers etc.  If a dentist, she would ramble about non-flossers and needle phobic crybabies.    

She's a low quality person and this is quite obvious from just quickly looking at her blog.  For example, she describes review board members as the lowest of the low but then she offers advice to fellow providers on how to write fake reviews to increase business.   She also has somewhat of a ghetto mentality.  I thought it was funny how she suggests that .fellow providers wear long fake nails "in case shit goes down."

She's not particularly bright, witty or insightful either.   I think I know what happened with  She went into the escort biz thinking she was going to make all kinds of money like some of the better providers.  However, she found that she wasn't able to do as well as other providers who are smart, personable and have social skills.  I'm talking about providers that can actually establish a rapport and even a friendly professional relationships with some men so as to make repeat clients.     She probably had poor reviews and is probably a bit jealous of the women who actually enjoy sex and are able to profit from it at the same time.   I feel sorry for the men who had to spend time with her.

Alex Lieberman is that you?????

"...and no business that will show you in such a short space of time what (some) men are really all about..."

What do you expect? The nature of the business is sex for money. There are unwritten rules in place which prevent anything beyond that, so the only thing left is physical sex. An analogy would be working in the food service industry and thinking that everyone is a glutton.


"once you cross that line into escorting don't think you'll be stepping back into normality any time soon. Something inside of you changes, and it changes for the worst."

What business does that NOT describe? How about working in an office environment where everyone is a backstabber? Wouldn't that change people for the worse as well? It would, but only if there is no balance in their life. If you completely immerse yourself in any toxic environment and don't have a life outside of that environment, then it's going to change you. Everyone has to make life choices; you can make a lot of money at the cost of your mental health, or you can make less money and spend more time with people who have a positive effect on your life.


"...the seemingly inherent ability that these men have to lie and deceive. Some of them are even lying to themselves, not just their 'significant' others..."

This is because you spend a lot of time with men of low moral character. If you spend time with women of low moral character, then you'll realize that women are just as capable and willing to lie to themselves.

At 250 quid, her rate be between $350 - $400 in USD, depending on the current exchange rate, which would be in the average range in NYC, maybe a little to the lower.   Based on her blog, I wouldn't see her, no matter what her reviews, or looks indicated.   Bad vibes...

Anyone who's truly confident about themselves, will not give a fuck.

I'd like the opportunity to stick MY lucky charm up her ass.  In fact stick in so hard that she shits blood for a month.   Fuckin' ungrateful Irish whore !!
