I don't want give out a specific location as it might be against the forum rules, but recently I've noticed a lot of activities like this going on while going to work and paid it no mind as I thought in this time and age they were obviously stings. But after recently driving towards a new storage area I noticed a lot more of these women walking around which seems legit. At first I thought it was the regular blue collar workers like the warehouse, cab drivers, or car repair/wash folks who were funding these walks, but then realized I never really seen the streetwalkers so active, the area is heavily under construction on most of its streets, could it be the construction workers?


I know some these women don't want to be saved but for their looks it's quite a shame they have to walk the street to meet ends meet. Addiction can also make some people do some ridiculous things. Ironically the area is home to many many city workers including correctional, and police officers.

In the early 90s I think they always used to be around Foster? I remember back then driving with a boyfriend and he said, "Oh, that's XXX's dad in the car in front of us!". And then he pulled over to pick one up. He never mentioned that again. LOL I think their "clients" drive to them, so it's probably more that it's a dark, quiet area rather then there's a lot of business right there.

They were always there. Just in hiding; with the recent shutdowns of numerous advertising outlets, they are forced to market in other methods-- think more "hands on" approach.

A lot of these street walkers are back on the street because the government shutdown Craigslist and Backpage so they cant sit at home, post an AD and decide who they want to see based on donations offered. The ones you see are the ones who don't know the new sites, don't have regulars that have their number, falling back in to the game, or trying to get new regulars because their regular either cant afford it or moved on (yep their price is on par with what a good lawyer charges hourly).

I use to know a few females like this, the problem with them is that they change their number so often its hard to get a hold of them especially when its time for a bachelor party and you need a good connect with friends in the same business who will perform adequality and not try to steal the customers money once the customer had one too many drinks. Plus they move around.

A few of the ones I knew tried to go the route of Facebook but didn't have the smarts to have 2 phone numbers and what they don't realize is the moment they give Facebook their number it starts suggesting them as a friend to anyone who has their number in their contacts with Facebook installed. This ended up costing them their regular 9-5 as allot of these street walkers have regular jobs like starbucks, bartender, fast food, etc. They just want extra cash

I knew females that would live in DC rent a cheap hotel in NYC, take the china town bus ride on a Friday afternoon, get to NYC, do their think Friday night and Saturday night, then by Sunday night take the overnight bus back to DC and be at work at 9am like nothing happened. Same with NY, they would take the bus or train to Boston do their thing and return in time for work.

Once they find out what the 3 new sites are you wont see them on the streets anymore. They will be back to posting ADs saying no AA, respectable generous men only, etc. lol

There are still advertising outlets left but more elusive. One of the best ones is where you can post a review of the performer and the performer post a review of the client. If the client gets one too many negative reviews from different performers they can get blacklisted from the site. Same for the performer, if they get too many negative reviews they can get blacklisted as well....
