Employment challenges creating new escorts?

[Mark_fl]

Im hearing a lot about it being impossible for new graduates to find satisfactory employment in the current economy, for a variety of reasons, most valid.

Is anyone seeing an influx of newbies dipping their, um, toe in the water to see if they can make this a temporary living or side-hustle?

No more than usual.

The only thing I’ve noticed, which I commented on in another post some time back, is that a lot of providers who had not advertised for years, returned this and last year. To me that was a sure sign there was an economic downturn.

The waves of layoffs are creating some to try this a a short-term side hustle until they find new employment especially in expensive big cities.  I recently met one and he said point blank that's why he was meeting up with guys.  He was constantly being hit up for so decided to try out the last few months.

A little bit. What i really am seeing personally is a large increase in monetized sex life guys on hookup apps seeking "generous" encounters/arrangements (basically escorts just without the professionalism or desire to more broadly advertise) and OF/Twitter adult content creators. And i definitely think it's economy influenced. I think a lot of those generous seeking guys would be on RM but just want to be somewhat DL about what they're doing by just keeping it to a hyper local pool of people rather than be out there advertising on a large scale via RM. Or they just don't know about RM and sites like it yet.

I've similarly noticed an increase in social media guys who had no interest in selling explicit content, and would even get mad if you asked them about it, now launching OFs/Twitters/UV.Clubs. Guys who are gay/bi and straight alike. More adult content creators who don't do the same numbers as A list OF/Twitter/porn guys do are dabbling in escorting as well to help ends meet. Definitely all very much related in my opinion.

The influencer economy may have peaked.  Brands getting more selective so the ones with smaller followings are finding reality isn't the IG fab life they presented to everyone.  Saw one reel of a fitness influencer just about begging for help because he didn't want to have to admit his parents were right about pursuing an influencer career move was a bad idea.
