My gosh!!!!!
What is this world coming to.
To think this was going on right under their noses.

Shameful, SHAMEFUL I say!!!

Maybe she should see a Dr. and get head removed from her ass.

Just my opinion...

she should have accepted $$$ and enjoyed herself LOL

I take your post to be sincere, i.e., even you, as an escort, might be offended in this situation.  As you know, I'm as much of an advocate for legalization as anyone, but I'm offended as well.  I don't go to a so-called 5-star hotel to be solicited by anyone, whether it be a used car salesman, a lawyer or an escort.  This is a bit like the scene from that Paul Newman movie some years back when he played a down-and-out lawyer who went to funerals of people killed in accidents to try to get the survivors to hire him to prosecute a wrongful death claim.  

So Emma - what's the deal Down Under:  prostitution is legal there, but do escorts hang out in five-star hotels?

PS - I don't buy the bit about the hotel being unable to do anything.

escort in that bar, and had a huge O.  LOL!

For several months last year, it seemed like I was rooming next to very vocal escorts and their clients about half of the time while visiting the Twin Cities. Often it would be the next day after I'd experienced a no-show, to add insult to injury.

with James Mason as "The Prince of Fucking Darkness", and Charlotte Rampling with those sleepy eyes.  Jack Warden was pretty good, too.

I wonder if the hotel really could do anything about it.  I mean, if the woman comes in, buys a drink, and then a guy just goes up and talks to her, there is nothing illegal about that.  What, should they put up a "time limit" on bar stools?

business is it anyway? That's like going to a bar and meeting your date there and then leaving. I think the real reason she is ticked by this is that she was approached also and could hear their conversations (very rude). I certainly can understand why she was upset about men approaching her. It might have not offended her so much if she couldn't hear their conversations and the men offered to buy her a drink first (like a normal hitting on in a bar). Then the men could have sensed she wasn't there as an escort. I don't know, though, I wasn't there.

She definitely didn't like the bar, so why didn't she leave immediately after her first drink?  

I guess she needed to spend 3 hours eavesdropping on other people's conversations in order to be the "escort police" so she could report to management.

Let's give her the 2004 Busybody Award, shall we?

EOM

after all, if she was so disgusted, why stay there?  I'm sure it's not the only bar in the vicinity.

gee, I thought it was only irony you guys have a problem with?

I don't spend a lot of time hanging out in hotel bars on my own. And when I do I'm on business so invariably am reading a document or even working on my laptop.  Also, I don't send out 'Emma' vibes - I send out scary 'if you touch me you die' vibes which are a great boy deterrent.  If there is escort activity going on around me, I've never noticed it but then, I'm usually so glad to be relaxing and just chilling with a drink that I'm not really interested in other people's business.

I'd love to know whether this women really was approached.  It sounds like a bit of a fantasy to me.  Given other posts on this board about the concerns men have approaching women in bars and the is she/isn't she escort dilemma, I doubt she was approached.  And if she was, how did she know the man was assuming she was an escort?  Maybe he was just trying to hit on her?  With all the paranoia about police targeting hobbyiests, is any guy in his right mind going to walk up to a stranger and say "Hi, my name's John, how much for a BJ?"  Pleez.....

Another more pertinent issue, you often read in reviews of restaurants & bars about the great 'buzz' of all the deal making going on around you.  Why is it that when the deal involves sex it's repugnant rather than exciting?

This women needs a life!

Where has this lady been? I have seen "escorts" in classier hotels than the 4 Seasons and on more than one continent. Whether she was confronted as an escort is the question. I can't think of a single or married woman for that matter who would go to ANY bar alone and not risk being hit on by the locals or fellow travlers. Hitting on someone in a bar that appears to be alone is not illegal dammit; it's cultural. Today, whether your "bar" is the grocery store, the health club, the resturant, the sirport, phone numbers and sex are changing hands all day every day. In fact, I have gotten more "free" strange in classy and not so classy hotels. The last I checked, you could get away with cheesey lines and a couple of drinks... Afterall, I like the so-called escort better, at least her mind is usually on her work : )!

And the bathroom was boring, too?  I'll bet the bathroom was more exciting than this woman's life...
