How do you advertise your services? Is this more high-end escort services, street pickups or something in between? (Descriptive answers are preferred.) ---

> [@Pimpster](#): > > Yes what I went for believe it or not did help I went for advertising and photography I didn’t ask what you _went for_, I asked what type of degree you _graduated with_ and what the degree was _in_. Your answer sounds like the typical stripper answer of “I’m going to college for medicine”. :dubious: ---

How did you get started? What are the legal risks you face? How would you describe the level of job satisfaction of the people who work for you (e.g. good way of making a living; only do it because there is nothing else available; need to support habits; etc.)? ---

How do you recruit your girls? Do you deal in just women, or men as well? (You did say business first, and there is a market for male whores, so I’m trying not to make assumptions.) What percent or cut of what the girls earn do you take? What services, if any, do you provide? Advertising? Protection? Transportation? Anything? Are any/most of your girls on drugs? Do you or don’t you care? Is it mostly running a website/connecting girls with customers so that you almost never see the women, or are you more hands on?
