Unfortunately as I have said before, but the unemployment and employer knobbing does not augur well for SA. It is heartbreaking to say the least

I think One should compare what the average woman that is having a normal day job earning monthly. Many of the ESA ladies are single parent. Just to give an idea. My ex wife is earning R17 000-00 a month. Then the money I give her because she is the Mother to my Two children takes it up to R22 000-00. So One must compare the Two options and decide..To expect to walk into a job today and pocket R30 000-00 with out some experience is so not gonna happen... So if you are stuck in this world if you can get out and try normal lifestyle do it. Sooner than later.

Gotta find something soon Nicky... If the thought about moving on been strong enough for you to feel a need to speak out loud, it's going to become and impulsive decision to quit at the wrong time. Me thinks you don't like this any more, and I can fully understand. I'm not ultra horny, but I'm a man. Yet, I would hate horny woman of all shapes and sizes knocking on my door daily to pay me to cure their needs.

Best to start looking into other options, 10 seconds from now... Good luck!

Renoster, Toskoppie and myword : Good points


Inai : Hope springs eternal, however, here, in this moment, not boding well. I am not investing one cent, due to uncertainties. And the ONLY way to grow the economy is to invest.


So Nicky : What is a girl to do ?


You are obviously looking around, and it is maybe a very good time to go and cut your expenses to the bone. If you can make it like that, then you can make a change. For at some point you will have to change. Simple fact that shelf life will catch up.


Rather go out on your own choice.

The day you run out of choices is the day that the shit hits the fan.

Best of luck.

The struggle is real and the responses are testimony to the care of this community.

My only advice is to think not only short term i.e. "how much can I make in another job today?" but also consider your future earnings. This is a cruel industry and experience is not rewarded.

Good luck

I have often wondered how ladies can do this job. Some must really hate it, but have no other choice.

But I did realize that the vast majority of people feel the same way.

So few people get to do what they truely love.

Most of us are prostitutes. Slaves. Selling our very souls just to survive.

Sometimes I hate my career. Sometimes it is not so bad, but there were times when I was climbing this ladder that I contemplated suicide because of it.

"If you can dream it, you can do it", "Tomorrow will be better", "You can achieve anything you set your mind to" - all of this is Bullshit.

Yes, some people are that lucky. Some people have that determination and some people have that attitude towards risk, but those people are the true 1%. The other 99% of us have no choice but to take the few opportunities that come our way, even if it is not what we wanted. The 99% of us have no choice but to fight for survival every day.

What I do to make a living each day is almost the complete oppisite of what I dreamed about when I was younger, what I still daydream about every day. But I also know that I am looking 40 right in the face and the fact that I am white also makes my employment iptions limited. And I have grown so accustomed to my lifestyle and income that breaking out into a completely new world is way too risky.

Our economy is struggling and unfortionately I don't see it strengthening overnight. Most industries are suffering. People are losing jobs at an alarming rate and even those with jobs are feeling the pinch. I have seen my own disposable income grow smaller and smaller, but worse yet is that most employed people in our country lives in poverty.

My advice would be to stick to what you know and ride the storm. Look for ways to suppliment or just grow your current income.

And saving is very important.

Winston Churchill, famous prime minister of Britian during the 2nd World War gave the following speech as a keynote address at his old school. He stood up and said:

"Never give up. Never,never,never give up!"

Then he sat down since that was his whole speech.This from a man who was famous for great speeches.He considered this to be one of his best.
So, whatever you do,keep on trying - giving up is not an option.

As a fellow punter with many punting (actually most of them now ex-punting) friends, here is my 2c. Most of my punting friends have hung up their boots due to the economy and also the fees that some ladies charge. While I am still in the game, a lot of punters are not as they have noticed that some ladies, mainly in CT, have escalated their fees way above inflation and that does not bode well with the average punter. Punting is a luxury that luckily some of us can still afford, but sadly most cannot anymore. I am of the opinion but not 100% sure that most punters have a significant other and have now resorted to sorting out their missus on a more regular basis than spending money and going on the prowl. What I think needs to happen is for ladies to price themselves according to what punters are nowadays prepared to pay given the financial circumstances most punters find themselves in nowadays. The easiest thing for a punter to give up to save a few bucks per month is for a punter to stop punting and use that money to get through the month. While my suggestion may not be the best, I cannot see any other way for a working girl, to lift her earning potential, knowing that the service they are offering is merely a luxury, other than to make their offering financially attractive and not out of reach of the average punter. What there needs to be is a balance of volume vs. the fee that a lady charges. Think of it as a seesaw balance. On the one end you have volume (the amount of punters that visit a lady daily) and on the other end you have the fee that the lady charges for her services. High volume and low fees mean you earn bugger-all, low volume and high fees mean you earn bugger-all, medium volume and market related fees mean you will earn to your maximum potential. Other than what I have suggested, there are many other good ideas that people have discussed in order to assist the working girls and kudos to all that have put forward these suggestions. All I can say is chin-up ladies and hang in there. I am unfortunately more of an optimist than a realist or pessimist but I believe things will get better.
