It's the oldest profession there is next to acting and they share striking similarities. One would think the poor souls who endure this path would be constantly bombarded with the worst of what society has to offer (well according to tv, film and literature, you'd think that) but surprisingly being a "person" of the night really can be like 'Pretty Woman.' What a mistake we all make in assuming... Big mistake.. HUGE!
Redditor u/_Narcissist_ wanted to hear from the escorts out about a few of their favorite clients by asking.... Escorts of Reddit, who was your nicest customer?
Conversation.
GiphyMy friend is an escort. She had this regular that had lost his wife years ago. He would book her for 2-3 hours every Sunday, just to talk. He never did anything with her. Panthean
Manga!
This reminds me of one story that I saw in an other subreddit. It was written by the Escort in went something like this:
She was ordered by an middle aged man and the only request he made was that she would come hungry. She thought that guy would be into feeding or something along the lines.
When she arrived he just let her sit at an table and started to cook. They ate their meal and chatted, nothing else. He later told her that he loved to cook and always did cook for his wife. The thing was that his wife had passed and he didn't want to cook just for himself. Gem_Shard
The Good Guys....
Quite honestly, I never saw anyone who wasn't super sweet. However, one does stand out in my mind. He was a middle-aged STEM guy who had the cutest little house which was absolutely overflowing with rare books. Literally, his whole house was a library.
He was my favorite for so many reasons. We never had dull conversations and I really looked forward to time spent with him.
He would never settle for anything less than the best food/cocktails when we went out and he was an excellent chef himself so that was pretty great.
The gifts he gave me were super personalized. I don't think anyone in my life ever gave me such intimate, thoughtful gifts. I had a lot of guys give me the typical clothes/shoes/makeup that were lovely gifts nonetheless, but this guy once gave me a Bosco Olympic tracksuit because I mentioned I liked Adidas once. It's my favorite material possession lol. oshibu
Just Sit Beside me....
Hi, I was an escort for two years.
My nicest customer was a man I stumbled upon in the club one night (I also danced.) He was not a regular. In fact, he only went to the club precisely twice per year. Every six months. The bouncer knew him personally and as I was walking off stage he told me to go sit down next to him.
This guy was tall, older, had a dark beard, long hair and wore glasses. He was wearing khaki shorts and a t-shirt. I didn't think much of him but I sat anyway since I didn't have any other customers there for me. We started chatting, and he is very clever and respectful. I was attracted to his quirky demeanor. We sat talking and drinking for a while and he asked me about myself a lot, and listened attentively. He tipped me $50 for my time sitting with him. Eventually I got to touching him and we decided to go in the back.
He claimed he wanted to take his time. I was fine with this because he assured me he would compensate me very generously, and I believed him. He caressed my hair, and my back for a while and asked me about my dreams and aspirations. I told him I was very interested in women's health, and would possibly like to get into the medical field. It turns out, this man was a doctor. A very good one to be precise. I can't remember what particular field he was in but I remember him just listening to me and encouraging me to finish school, etc. This was just an incredible experience for me because this was not like my usual customers... who just want to try to do dirty stuff that I don't allow. This man held me, and wanted me to take our pants off and gently grind on each other. I actually liked doing this and didn't mind. I felt myself slowly just becoming turned on and wanting to kiss and have sex him. Because he wasn't the one trying to do that. I wanted it. It happens all the time honestly so I didn't mind. I just kissed him for a while. I just liked being back there with him.
Anyway he ended up giving me $1,500 for spending one hour in the back with him. I tried looking for him again and get his number but I never did see him again. Sanctifyke
Prince Charming....
GiphyMy nicest customer was a French rich entrepreneur who took me on a holiday to Miami. I got paid 3k$ per day that I traveled with him and he paid my travel expenses coming down to 10k$ or so. And I got for 5k$ in presents during that short holiday. We stayed 1 week. And the sex was amazing. He had a six pack and a very well toned body. He didn't mind that I'm a trans girl. He just thought I was cute. We still have contact and he comes for a session every 3 months. He always brings me a necklace from Von Cleef And Arpels when he comes to visit me. CeliaTheBrave
The Sweet Smell of Amaretto....
Amazingly it was the first one. I wasn't in the business long. I remember that he was very very classy we had an actual conversation. He asked my what my drink of choice was and I told him it was "Rum and Coke" (at that time it was the drink I knew and order) he told me "That's a good choice and you can't go wrong with wine."
Then he thought me how to properly drink wine. We did the stuff after talking. Then he took me out to eat. It was in a restaurant near his place. It's also a place where other escorts 'hunt' so to say. He points them out to me and told me what to adapt from them and what not to copy.
I only had like 3 clients after him before I stopped. He was the only one I really liked.
My drink of choice is now Amaretto. chaoticbabygirl
The Dating Experience....
As an escort, I'd say all of my current clients are nice but the nicest is a semi-regular I've been seeing for years now. When I started seeing him he was pretty shy, nice but shy and overtime I've seen him build more confidence which has been good to see. He's never been solely about sex and usually opts for at least a dating experience. Over time I've been introduced to other people in his life (girlfriend, friends, family, co-workers) which, to be honest I found a little odd at first but it's nice, they don't know how we know each other but yeah. angelflummox
Just be You....
I had a guy give me $110 dollars just because he thought I was cute. Chelseathesissycd
The Dashing Visitor....
Many years ago, I decided, as a single British/Irish male that I could find a niche doing home visits to ladies. At that time, we had an advert for chocolates, where a gent' dressed in black would do some 007 type thing, just to leave a box of these chocolates on her bed. He would leave his card, then absail away! Anyway, I don't absail, but I did start 'home visits'... I put out an advert and went from there... I would arrive with the groceries to make the lady a meal of her choice, with the wine of her choice, then do my utmost to please her... Then I would (after being paid) do the dishes and leave, without much of a trace I'd ever been there.
I saw one lady more than any of the others. She told me one evening that she loved me.. The sad bit is that I didn't feel the same. - But that was the greatest compliment I have ever had I stopped doing this on that very evening. - Doing what I did, one of my clients falling in love with me had never been a factor when I first thought of the general idea. The lady is fine and happy. She later married a lovely chap. I even got an invite to the wedding, so I guess she told him. I wouldn't go. It was not right. Regards. S. licktheetruff
Experiencing death is a fascinating and frightening idea.
Who doesn't want to know what is waiting for us on the other side?
But so many of us want to know and then come back and live a little longer.
It would be so great to be sure there is something else.
But the whole dying part is not that great, so we'll have to rely on other people's accounts.
Redditor AlaskaStiletto wanted to hear from everyone who has returned to life, so they asked:
"Redditors who have 'died' and come back to life, what did you see?"
Sensations
Happy Good Vibes GIF by Major League SoccerGiphy"My dad's heart stopped when he had a heart attack and he had to be brought back to life. He kept the paper copy of the heart monitor which shows he flatlined. He said he felt an overwhelming sensation of peace, like nothing he had felt before."

Recovery
"I had surgical complications in 2010 that caused a great deal of blood loss. As a result, I had extremely low blood pressure and could barely stay awake. I remember feeling like I was surrounded by loved ones who had passed. They were in a circle around me and I knew they were there to guide me onwards. I told them I was not ready to go because my kids needed me and I came back."
"My nurse later said she was afraid she’d find me dead every time she came into the room."
"It took months, and blood transfusions, but I recovered."

Take Me Back
"Overwhelming peace and happiness. A bright airy and floating feeling. I live a very stressful life. Imagine finding out the person you have had a crush on reveals they have the same feelings for you and then you win the lotto later that day - that was the feeling I had."
"I never feared death afterward and am relieved when I hear of people dying after suffering from an illness."

Free
The Light Minnie GIF by (G)I-DLEGiphy"I had a heart surgery with near-death experience, for me at least (well the possibility that those effects are caused by morphine is also there) I just saw black and nothing else but it was warm and I had such inner peace, its weird as I sometimes still think about it and wish this feeling of being so light and free again."
TooReDTooHigh
This is why I hate surgery.
You just never know.
Shocked
Giphy"More of a near-death experience. I was electrocuted. I felt like I was in a deep hole looking straight up in the sky. My life flashed before me. Felt sad for my family, but I had a deep sense of peace."

The SOB
"Nursing in the ICU, we’ve had people try to die on us many times during the years, some successfully. One guy stood out to me. His heart stopped. We called a code, are working on him, and suddenly he comes to. We hadn’t vented him yet, so he was able to talk, and he started screaming, 'Don’t let them take me, don’t let them take me, they are coming,' he was scared and yelling."
"Then he yelled a little more, as we tried to calm him down, he screamed, 'No, No,' and gestured towards the end of the bed, and died again. We didn’t get him back. It was seriously creepy. We called his son to tell him the news, and the son said basically, 'Good, he was an SOB.'”

Colors
"My sister died and said it was extremely peaceful. She said it was very loud like a train station and lots of talking and she was stuck in this area that was like a curtain with lots of beautiful colors (colors that you don’t see in real life according to her) a man told her 'He was sorry, but she had to go back as it wasn’t her time.'"
Hannah_LL7
"I had a really similar experience except I was in an endless garden with flowers that were colors I had never seen before. It was quiet and peaceful and a woman in a dress looked at me, shook her head, and just said 'Not yet.' As I was coming back, it was extremely loud, like everyone in the world was trying to talk all at once. It was all very disorienting but it changed my perspective on life!"

The Fog
"I was in a gray fog with a girl who looked a lot like a young version of my grandmother (who was still alive) but dressed like a pioneer in the 1800s she didn't say anything but kept pulling me towards an opening in the wall. I kept refusing to go because I was so tired."
"I finally got tired of her nagging and went and that's when I came to. I had bled out during a c-section and my heart could not beat without blood. They had to deliver the baby and sew up the bleeders. refill me with blood before they could restart my heart so, like, at least 12 minutes gone."

Through the Walls
"My spouse was dead for a couple of minutes one miserable night. She maintains that she saw nothing, but only heard people talking about her like through a wall. The only thing she remembers for absolute certain was begging an ER nurse that she didn't want to die."
"She's quite alive and well today."

Well let's all be happy to be alive.
It seems to be all we have.
Trying to lose weight is a struggle understood by many people regardless of size.
The goal of reaching a healthy weight may seem unattainable, but with diet and exercise, it can pay off through persistence and discipline.
Seeing the pounds gradually drop off can also be a great motivator and incentivize people to stay the course.
Those who've achieved their respective weight goals shared their experiences when Redditor apprenti8455 asked:
"People who lost a lot of weight, what surprises you the most now?"
Redditors didn't see these coming.
Shiver Me Timbers
"I’m always cold now!"
– Telrom_1
"I had a coworker lose over 130 pounds five or six years ago. I’ve never seen him without a jacket on since."
– r7ndom
"140 lbs lost here starting just before COVID, I feel like that little old lady that's always cold, damn this top comment was on point lmao."
– mr_remy
Drawing Concern
"I lost 100 pounds over a year and a half but since I’m old(70’s) it seems few people comment on it because (I think) they think I’m wasting away from some terminal illness."
– dee-fondy
"Congrats on the weight loss! It’s honestly a real accomplishment 🙂"
"Working in oncology, I can never comment on someone’s weight loss unless I specifically know it was on purpose, regardless of their age. I think it kind of ruffles feathers at times, but like I don’t want to congratulate someone for having cancer or something. It’s a weird place to be in."
– LizardofDeath
Unleashing Insults
"I remember when I lost the first big chunk of weight (around 50 lbs) it was like it gave some people license to talk sh*t about the 'old' me. Old coworkers, friends, made a lot of not just negative, but harsh comments about what I used to look like. One person I met after the big loss saw a picture of me prior and said, 'Wow, we wouldn’t even be friends!'”
"It wasn’t extremely common, but I was a little alarmed by some of the attention. My weight has been up and down since then, but every time I gain a little it gets me a little down thinking about those things people said."
– alanamablamaspama
Not Everything Goes After Losing Weight
"The loose skin is a bit unexpected."
– KeltarCentauri
"I haven’t experienced it myself, but surgery to remove skin takes a long time to recover. Longer than bariatric surgery and usually isn’t covered by insurance unless you have both."
– KatMagic1977
"It definitely does take a long time to recover. My Dad dropped a little over 200 pounds a few years back and decided to go through with skin removal surgery to deal with the excess. His procedure was extensive, as in he had skin taken from just about every part of his body excluding his head, and he went through hell for weeks in recovery, and he was bedridden for a lot of it."
– Jaew96
These Redditors shared their pleasantly surprising experiences.
Shopping
"I can buy clothes in any store I want."
– WaySavvyD
"When I lost weight I was dying to go find cute, smaller clothes and I really struggled. As someone who had always been restricted to one or two stores that catered to plus-sized clothing, a full mall of shops with items in my size was daunting. Too many options and not enough knowledge of brands that were good vs cheap. I usually went home pretty frustrated."
– ganache98012
No More Symptoms
"Lost about 80 pounds in the past year and a half, biggest thing that I’ve noticed that I haven’t seen mentioned on here yet is my acid reflux and heartburn are basically gone. I used to be popping tums every couple hours and now they just sit in the medicine cabinet collecting dust."
– colleennicole93
Expanding Capabilities
"I'm all for not judging people by their appearance and I recognise that there are unhealthy, unachievable beauty standards, but one thing that is undeniable is that I can just do stuff now. Just stamina and flexibility alone are worth it, appearance is tertiary at best."
– Ramblonius
People Change Their Tune
"How much nicer people are to you."
"My feet weren't 'wide' they were 'fat.'"
– LiZZygsu
"Have to agree. Lost 220 lbs, people make eye contact and hold open doors and stuff"
"And on the foot thing, I also lost a full shoe size numerically and also wear regular width now 😅"
– awholedamngarden
It's gonna take some getting used to.
Bones Everywhere
"Having bones. Collarbones, wrist bones, knee bones, hip bones, ribs. I have so many bones sticking out everywhere and it’s weird as hell."
– Princess-Pancake-97
"I noticed the shadow of my ribs the other day and it threw me, there’s a whole skeleton in here."
– bekastrange
Knee Pillow
"Right?! And they’re so … pointy! Now I get why people sleep with pillows between their legs - the knee bones laying on top of each other (side sleeper here) is weird and jarring."
– snic2030
"I lost only 40 pounds within the last year or so. I’m struggling to relate to most of these comments as I feel like I just 'slimmed down' rather than dropped a ton. But wow, the pillow between the knees at night. YES! I can relate to this. I think a lot of my weight was in my thighs. I never needed to do this up until recently."
– Strongbad23
More Mobility
"I’ve lost 100 lbs since 2020. It’s a collection of little things that surprise me. For at least 10 years I couldn’t put on socks, or tie my shoes. I couldn’t bend over and pick something up. I couldn’t climb a ladder to fix something. Simple things like that I can do now that fascinate me."
"Edit: Some additional little things are sitting in a chair with arms, sitting in a booth in a restaurant, being able to shop in a normal store AND not needing to buy the biggest size there, being able to easily wipe my butt, and looking down and being able to see my penis."
– dma1965
People making significant changes, whether for mental or physical health, can surely find a newfound perspective on life.
But they can also discover different issues they never saw coming.
That being said, overcoming any challenge in life is laudable, especially if it leads to gaining confidence and ditching insecurities.
