Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I dated a girl before she Turned Pro. Decades later she filled me in on her short stint, and this one gem:
One of them has more rules, too.
But I dunno.
A high-class whore is still a whore.
No shade, and do what you want - grab that bag if that's what you want, but there's little difference between a street walker, a call girl, or a porn star. You're still being paid for sex, simple as that. If it's consensual, and nobody is being exploited then whatever.
if she is an escort, than you having to pay should have been a hint. and are you saying that normal girls and women are never late? this "wisdom" seems more like something someone read in a playboy and didn't think about it much...
Read it again.
yeah, lets try.
they talked to former hooker
and this one gem... sentence misses predicate, so i have no fucking idea what they are trying to say.
one of who? what?
Maybe there is some cultural gap.
Note: I am not saying this commenter is correct. I am attempting to parse the words for you to get a better handle on what I think they meant.
They are explaining how if you are paying for sex and you are waiting for the sex worker to show up (indicating that they hold some power in the transaction) then they are an escort or a call-girl.
If the sex worker was standing around waiting for a client (indicating less power in the transaction on their side) Then they are a 'whore' or 'hooker.'
The 'one of them has more rules' comment is saying that the group being called escort or call girl has more rules about what you are allowed to do/have done to you than the group under the banner of hooker or whore.
Again - not my words, not my belief. I am only playing translator.
well my experience does not extend beyond watching the diary of a callgirl, but i think that
is romanticizing it little bit. power in any transaction belongs to person paying. the difference is you pick one of them on her street corner and the other one in the hotel lobby, but i don't see that fact as any mysterious revelation. and i don't think that callgirl being constantly late would get lot of repeated business.
