I think most would agree that not everyone has the mental make up to be able to compartmentalize and the ability to do your job day after day. I would imagine it has its ups and downs like all jobs.

With that said, what do you the main reasons are that finally lets them put this behind them and move onto a new career?  If you are on here reading this you are probably still in the business but have friends who no longer are doing this.

I am not talking about someone who tried it and after 20 dates did not like it. Maybe the they did it for 2 or 3 years or longer and then quit. I know some save enough money, others find a compatible person in real life etc.. but I would imagine it would be hard to move on cold turkey so to speak.

Thoughts? I have read why a couple hobbyist finally quit but nothing about the thought process or the difficulty of stopping completely for a provider.

I am just curious as age doesn't alone seem to be a driving factor. I guess I am just interested on the subject on a human level I guess.

J/k, but that may be the case. I know this one provider, she was also working at this other place. After she was certified at this other job, she quit hobbying. I don't know if she did it for me, but she would accommodate me as a provider. However, she stopped posting ads all together. I have seen her off and on for sometime now. I don't know if that is considered fully quitting.

The answers will probably vary. 1 thing for certain, they don't provide cause its the best job they can find. If however, they find another career path that is equivalent or pays higher, they will quit. I hate to say it, but its all about the money. Another factor, if they r unhappy with there job, they can go cold turkey.

For providers to quit, its not difficult as you may think. They r not dependent on providing alone. I know many that did quit. Career opportunity, family events, disliking their job, and several other reasons. Don't think providers need to settle or have no other choices but provide, they can quit at any moments notice with some of the reasons mentioned.

Why is it that I sense a post from DuplicitousLust is coming??? (probably in response to one of the ladies.) I hope I am wrong. Hold onto your Thesaurus!

Some women are far superior mentally as men (Hence birthgiving) so if they choose to go along the path as a provider for a year or 2 and then switch it is easier for some to cope with it. Others probably repress it i mean the only way i can explain it is You go out one night and you wake up with 1 transexual, 1 incredibly obesce unattractive women, and a donkey..naked you probably would want to forget about that.

From what i know the younger they are the more they enjoy the providing because at there age you can't find a job with that close of pay, and the older they get ... the wiser they get lol.

Personally, I'm only planning on providing until I'm done with school (yes, I know, best laid plans--pun unintended , and then I plan to start on my new career path. For others, I'm sure it depends on the person. Not everyone goes into this with an exit plan, but some do.

I am just curious because I would imagine the hardest day is the first few and then I would imagine after that it would be hard to give up the money. I see many ladies advertise that are in there 30s and 40s and wonder how they manage all those years. I think it would take a toll on most people in some emotional way after awhile. Usually you see a discussion board talk about someone no longer providing but never the reasons, if there was an emotional toll and what finally caused them to leave.
