More call-girls end up marrying customers than most people unfamiliar
with them would ever suspect. Quite a few get multiple proposals
every year. Some men aren't intimidated by a woman who makes as much
or more money than they do by having sex with many men. In fact, more
men than you might think both admire and envy a woman who does a GOOD
job working in that business. Not all women who sell sex for money
are streetwalkers who give most of their money to pimps and for drugs.
Quite a few look at it as a JOB, well-paying while young enough; and
something to use to stack up money to retire on. Some (Most?) even
pay taxes; not wanting to get caught by the IRS like Al Capone did.
