Although as a male I highly support that sex work be legal, and acknowledge it as legitimate work, I do not tend to honestly respect this type of work (besides the courage to do it and such). I find it quite unfair be able to make so much money for relatively low effort (at least it feels that way despite the downsides/dangers).

But I must say that this escort is super smart and has a really good sense of business. This article also gave me some newfound respect for escorts for the fact that although on the surface they seem to mostly just use their bodies, they do put in a lot of effort on the business and strategy side which people don't talk about.

Did you read the article? There's absolutely nothing low effort about it...

[amcsi]

I read the entire article. By making a lot of relatively low effort I mean selling something for a lot that's not a expensive items or valueable experienced labor. And like I said, before I thought this was all low effort work, and through this article I got to see the high effort business side.

That's absolutely valued experienced labor... are you sure you read it attentively?

I hope you hate capitalism then. It's all about supply and demand. As a gay man with some friends who escort, their rates are much lower, both for obvious reasons (it is ridiculously easy for most gay men to find other men to have sex with) and less obvious ones (IMO there is much less of a stigma among gay men for escorting, and at least friends I knew who did it expressed little shame at doing it).

It is absolutely supply and demand. I meant girl escorts when I wrote what I wrote. I find it unfair that it you're born a girl and are pretty, you have this option.

People who are born men and rich have the option of paying for those services, so what's most unfair?

[amcsi]

I don't see how the "men" part is relevant of what you are saying. The "rich" part is a good point: that's certainly more unfair.

I'm thinking that if men and women of equally poor background, women have this escort option that men don't (obviously they do, but it pays far less good on average than women).

[c21h30o2]

Just that men earn more money and have more wealth than women when looking at population averages. In many cultures women are expected to marry and look after the kids while the men work, and that expectation carries over into education opportunities, parental support, hiring decisions and so on.
