BUSINESS AND PLEASURE, Escorts 2.0

Posted by Lisa C. on Jun 29, 2012 in DATING & RELATIONSHIPS | 6 comments

It is not news that the US economy has reached an all time low. It was declining since 2005 and over the past 4 years totally nosedived. Just look around you. See that 48 year-old who just delivered your pizza? Yep, he used to work as a benefits manager for an accounting firm. Or how about that lovely man at Home Depot who directs you to the shims? Yep, he used to be a project manager for a construction firm they cut his hours to part time so he has to rock the Home Depot at nights 4 days a week. Talented, educated people who once did very well in their careers are taking brainless jobs for a paycheck. It’s sad.

Barack Obama is a celebrident more concerned and consumed with entertaining than truly having the back of WE THE PEOPLE. That being said I find myself among the millions of Americans who did it right. We went to college. We pursued a career that held our attentions for 8, 9, 10 hours a day so we can maybe buy a home, raise a family and maybe just maybe save for retirement.

Over the past 4 years little things like say, health insurance, has become a luxury item. People who did it right now see themselves no longer making 80 – 130k. Instead, they are settling for 50k jobs and are jumping in the air blessed and lucky to find them. Meanwhile living expenses are increasing. It is now double the cost to fill up at the tank from 2005. In 2005 it cost me $32 to fill up my car. Now it costs $60 and I’m making a third of what I was making back then. This is a huge problem. More and more people are spending more than they are making just to survive. Retirement in America seems impossible. How can one save for retirement if they can barely make ends meet?

There is one particular segment of the population who tapped into a very special credential that guarantees residual incomes, lavish global travel, health coverage, clothing allowances, housing and more. Ladies it seems that if you have brains for business and a vagina, the WORLD can be in the palm of your hands.  Just as any corporate career there are levels to consider. There’s the streetwalker poorly dressed, uneducated, drug addicted hooker who spreads her legs to degenerates for not a whole lot of money seeking $20 here and $100 there for drugs. This isn’t at all what I’m referring to. What I am talking about are high power escorts.

THE CLASSIER APPROACH:

The high power escorts are the women who easily earn six figures annually and even more when you look at the cars, housing, health benefit, meals, travel, clothing, and the long list of other luxury items these women acquire. Some of these “high power escorts” don’t even have sex with the men. Some might. That is entirely up to them and the connection they feel they have and the arrangement. Some may even lead to romance, who knows? Anything is possible. I spoke to one woman who just “dates” older rich guys and goes to events with them just so they can have a younger, pretty woman on their arm. She started with one man she met at a party and then through him and his circles built a steady roster of 5 men. She makes an average of $15,000 per month and works about 50-60 hours per month if traveling and socializing. I know women who work 60 hours a week and don’t come close to that kind of money.

Stefania, a 31 year old who moved to Miami from Arizona by way of Eastern Europe shares her experience. “I made $500, in 3 hours. I was taken to Gotham Steak at Fontainbleau and was part of a table of 12. All I had to do was sit there, engage in conversation and my 58 year old client (divorced, very loaded) just introduced me as Stefania…PERIOD. There was no title, no explanation. It was business schmoozing. He owned properties around the world, developed others and sold them off. I observed, laughed, turned on the charm, ate a great meal, drank champagne and by the end of it I was invited to St. Thomas for someone’s 60^th birthday. My day rate was $1500, and this little jaunt to St. Thomas would be a Friday to Sunday jaunt,  $4500 just for my time. This wasn’t a problem for this man at all. He wrote me a check for half my rate, said he’d give me the other half upon return and did, along with a $200 bracelet he noticed caught my eye while shopping in town. I traveled via private jet, had my own room at a lovely villa. I met other wives, girlfriends and “assistants” and got along great. I didn’t even see the guy naked. He behaved like a total gentleman.  He saw me sunbathe topless and there was harmless flirting in the pool but no sex. At the end of a wonderful weekend, I went home with $5500. A few days later a man he knew in Colorado called me requesting my company for a very important business/social weekend in Switzerland.”

Is this a sign of the new economy? Are smart beautiful women catching on to a new niche market? If the rich and powerful need beautiful intelligent women on their arms to accompany them for social business mingling some say provide a service and make money? Clearly the debate will follow. Are these women just gold diggers getting over on their looks? OR… are they poised, charming, intelligent, savvy marketers and brilliant observers of social interaction? I wonder. I figured why not have a little fun hypothesizing what the resume for such a position would look like. I figured why not take a stab for your amusement, and mine of writing a mock job posting followed by a resume for a “High Power Escort.”

THE NEW ECONOMY…ESCORT 2.0

Clearly these jobs are popping up more and more. Take a look around Miami and you see stunning women on the arms of not so stunning men. They shop at Bal Harbor. They have massages at Delano. They dine in all the finest places. But are they happy? Do they get nauseated when the guy touches her leg under the table? Does she have full blown anxiety at the thought of him breathing on her as he takes off his shirt? Is sex even involved?

I find this secret society fascinating. The women can be like spies. Their titles vague if any at all. When asked what do they do they say, “oh I’m a personal assistant” or “I’m in sales, PR, marketing, physical therapy, real estate, yadda yadda take your pick. The point here is that it doesn’t matter. When a woman is out and about on her own socially she can be very vague about how she earns a living. Then she can go home and pack a back for Anguilla. Is this so wrong?

I would imagine that many powerful unattached men understand how social functions are a pivotal part of business. Why wouldn’t they purposely seek out a paid companion, as an associate who can schmooze with them at such functions? It makes perfect sense, certainly serves a purpose and if all terms are negotiated upon a win-win situation. Certainly there are men out there who already have been sued by ex wives, have enough female drama to last a lifetime, and are done with the complications but are interested in a simple business arrangement and understand their credibility and social appeal increases when there’s an intelligent, beautiful woman on his arm. Think about it.

An affluent couple hosts a dinner party in their mansion. In comes businessman alone. What does the host do? She tries to set that business man up with her cousin, or the recently divorced woman she plays tennis with. It’s far less awkward for a successful businessman to hire an associate.

How do women judge women who benefit from this type of arrangement? Personally if a woman is able to lend her beauty and brains to help a successful businessman close on a major deal just by attending a few social events in exchange for money, I’d give her a high five and would want to learn more. If she’s choosing to have sex with him well then that’s entirely her business and for her to sort out but I’m curious… Are there men who need escorts for business but not the bedroom?? Thoughts??
