Scruff (the app) and providers

[Rick M]

What does it mean when a successful provider keeps an active Scruff (or similar dating app) identity? There is is no attempt I can detect in the profile to advertise a service. Is it an attempt to find a more desirable sexual partner than his run-of-the-mill clients? To have some truly casual fun, like an actual dinner + a show date? More sex? I would think that when one is well sought-after in business, one would want more down time, to recuperate and all that!

ever heard of a work life balance? escorts actually have sex outside of business lol

At home, maybe. When I try to picture going on the road to earn a living, the last thing I'd want is a "busman's holiday." My POV.

I think it could be a variety of reasons. You'd have to ask the individual escort for sure...though they might consider that to not really be your business.

 

I definitely know of one escort who has a profile. His profile has no indication of escorting at all. I think he actually has it I think because he likes to write and has links to his blog and web site, where you can actually check out his escorting services. For some people it's more of a way of expressing yourself and to keep in contact with friends around the country. We actually message each other occasionally even though he lives in Atlanta. A lot of escorts have networks of regulars that they want to continue to have friendly relationships with even if they are in different cities. And this escort in particular always lets me know when he comes back into town and I usually set up an appointment with him.

 

But it probably really depends on the escort.

From what I’ve seen, some providers are on app for personal fun, and some may be working or at least open to hiring. I doubt that an escort considers client meetings to be a substitute for their normal sex life.

I have connected with providers on Scruff. It's another venue for them to attract clients (who may not be regulars in the escort scene). As others have said, it also might just be their personal "gig" meaning regular hookups.
