That's good old fashion fear of intimacy. Just another made-up term.

I've gotten several of those "Hi". Have responded to some, and one ended up in a booking, the others were out of my area, but I had a nice conversation where I ended stating that I might consider them if I travel to where they are of if they come to my city. No harm done, just a nice, polite conversation. They reach out to prospective clients. I don't see anything wrong with it.
It's more annoying when I get those from Dell and T-Mobile.

In some areas finding parking is a deal breaker. I live in an area where that's a major issue. Maybe that's an issue in that area, so it's worth mentioning.

You are already receiving push-back because of how you approached your query.  You want "everyone to chime in" with their reasons for being a client, but you haven't done so yourself.  If you're new to this (or even just in the contemplative stage), why not first share what your motivations are and ask others to share theirs?
I'm sure the most common answers you'll get:
To get men the client doesn't believe they will get otherwise.  For example, a youngish jock isn't too likely to be looking for a middle aged or older bear.
For efficiency.
Because they get excited by the act of paying someone for sex.
Because they can afford to do so and don't feel like they need an excuse.

This is a pretty standard response on the site.. the same 10 questions about hiring have been asked a million times. So people tend to want you to share before asking questions.

Boy George did that so it appears to be an attempt at a joke.

I'm not sure what your point is. We already know the risks, plus, as I stated, risk is always present; it's a matter of  our decision to take it and handle it.
Plus you haven't mentioned anything that is exclusive to escorting. All those things can happen on your way to a 9-5 job.

The first time I met Vin Marco, we walked along the boardwalk at the Jersey shore. He was looking like Adonis and I was looking like me.  He was shirtless and in tight shorts.  At one point, I decided to take off my shirt and just walk with him and forget about it, as who was going to look at me anyway.  Afterward, he said he was impressed that I felt  comfortable and confident walking along the boardwalk.  He thought that was sexy. 
Now maybe he was just being nice, but that helped me to come to grips that it is not what other people think of me, it is what I think about myself.  So, DMonDude, just think positively about yourself and they rest will fall into place.

Have you guys ever had issues with feeling distracted by knowing the fact that the provider isn't attracted to you or even may actively find you ugly? If so how do you handle that? I'm obviously never going into any provider session under any delusion they think I'm hot, but sometimes i get in my head about maybe I'm really putting them through a tough time if they find me to be actively unattractive/ugly. The feeling doesn't necessarily bother me in terms of my own self confidence, but more so in the way that I'm very much the kind of person who wants to be easy to work with or be a bright spot in the day of someone who does what may be a tough job (i love to be kind to or tip customer service workers cause they deal with a lot). So the thought that that's an aspect of myself i can't change to make the job easier for the provider kinda bothers me sometimes.

How on Earth is this something to include when you create an ad? I suppose it's nice to know that my visit to you will run me more ahead of time, rather than the frustration of getting towed, but you may as well add that oxygen is free, too. 
Anyone seen this young man? Rates (depending on that damn meter) are reasonable. https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/50605/
 

Thank you for sharing your insight.  Well said!

LOL. That ship has sailed.

There's always a risk in your reputation, your personal safety and your health (physical and mental), but that can also be said of many other professions outside escorting.
In my experience, there are plenty of people who are professionals and have escorted in the past, many of which manage to hide it, or are in professions where that's not necessarily a deal breaker. Your choice of career outside escorting can determine how risky having been an escort is.
Also, you may not need to advertise online. Escorting exists since the beginning of time, way before sites with profiles existed.
Risk is always there, all we all can do is minimize it and decide which ones are worth taking.
Best.

Shout! Shout! Let it all out. You are in the right place here for this.
I know that many of use claim that we don't care about what others think, but that's true only to some extent. Enjoy your hiring.

@Jamie21 you'll have to come visit Canada, but likely no outcalls in the following towns...
Balzac, Alberta
Climax, Saskatchewan
Nut Mountain, Saskatchewan
Smuts, Saskatchewan
Finger, Manitoba
Crotch Lake, Ontario
Old Cummer, Ontario
Anse a Mouille-Cul (Wet Ass Cove), Quebec
Brise-Culotte (Crotchless Underpants), Quebec
Sackville, New Brunswick
Balls Creek, Nova Scotia
Ecum Secum, Nova Scotia
Blow Me Down, Newfoundland
Come by Chance, Newfoundland
Dildo, Newfoundland
Granny's Hole, Newfoundland
Spread Eagle, Newfoundland
 
Yeah, it seems that the founders of many Canadian towns were a bunch of pervs.  LOL.  But just to be clear, the capital of Saskatchewan is Regina, not Vagina.
 

Yes I agree. I can’t do outcalls to Essex or Sussex. Visits to clients in Scunthorpe (think about it) and Cockfosters are challenging, and I definitely can’t see anyone in Penistone (South Yorkshire). 

First, you don't know that
Second, I don't have to explain things to you
Third, re-read my post again.
Fourth, stop trying to be a jackass with me. You're not going to win.

When it comes to MY beliefs, absolutely.
