Is there a psychological side to what you do? Do you present yourself differently to different clients?
Maybe to a small degree but I think mostly in my case everyone meets the same happy go lucky girl next door type. How far they chose to pursue conversation with me varies. Some guys chitchat it up with me and we build a very friendly connection either before, during, or after a session. Some guys come in and are super quiet and seem nervous. I try and draw them out their shell but my success varies.
I think that my genuine personality and overall approachability has pretty wide appeal so I just try and stay true to that.
Do you find your clients treat you in a certain way? Or do the different demographics and ages have different views?
It'd be hard to boil it down to a generalization. Most of my clients treat me respectfully, seem enthusiastic about the session and really seem to want me to have a good time to, though their efforts at providing it are rather hit or miss

I really cater pretty much to the 35-45 white professional. Dress shirt and slacks, that kind of thing.
There are some standouts. Like the guys that have a Jeckyll/Hyde thing going on depending on their horny status. Not necessarily in a bad way like they try and beat me up or anything, but they're so soft spoken and friendly on the phone and in person, and then as soon as you get them hard they're all dirty talking and demanding, and then as soon as they get off they're back to being soft spoken again. But for the most part everyone seems content to let me lead the dance.
How personal and open about your life do you get during conversation?
Depends on how much I like any given person and at what point in the session we're at. If I am having a really good time with someone, and especially if I get off, then I sometimes find myself saying things that I wish I hadn't, such as places I like to go to, I'll talk about people I know that they might wind up knowing if we have some similar interests, I've talked about where I work out, that kind of thing.
So far this hasn't bitten me in the ass but one day it might so I really try to curb it.
The most worrisome thing so far was I mentioned a family member of mine that is relatively well known in some niches to a client, that information later found it's way to another escort I didn't personally know, and then came back to me when a different (mutual) client asked about it.
So that was kind of the slap in the mouth that made me realize that my room isn't cut off from the rest of the world and has me really trying to curb how open I am with my clients, even if they're really nice. I doubt that any of the clients I've made that mistake with would do anything with the information to actually hurt my personal life but all the same, better safe then sorry.
I am guessing image maintanence is fairly important, do you have a diet/exercise routine, or do you find it unnecessary?
I don't really diet, I kind of more or less eat what I want but I've mostly broken the habit of "eat everything on your plate" or "eat till you feel full" so I control my portions pretty well. I also work out frequently. I also try and take good care of my hair as it's one feature of mine clients really seem to love, I need to be adding to my skin care regime as preventative maintenance for aging but you are correct that taking care of yourself is important.
Your personality matters but it's your look that gets them to pick up the phone in the first place.
I am going to be small minded and draw similarities between street prostitution (the infamous multitude of father fearing girls mentioned before) and drug dealing as they revolve around the same circles and areas of the law.
I often find drug dealers define themselves via what they do, is that true of the lower ranked prostitutes aswell?
I wouldn't really know but it wouldn't shock me in the least. They're not really the type to be posting their experiences on the providers boards
Do you ever find your life revolves around your profession too much? From what I can gather from your posts you seem to organise your work and it's boundaries upon your social life far more efficiently than the majority of people that I know.
It only revolves around it as much as I let it. Since I have the option of answering or not answering the phone on a whim it's pretty easy to control my schedule, when ya get down to it I can get by comfortably on averaging 3 guys a week. These days If I wanted I could probably only work on Monday every week and scooch by just fine.
Do you ever find friends/acquaintances are fascinated by your job, and tend to see you in a glamorous way?
The two non-escort friends I have told about my job think that it sounds awesome. I don't know if they really glamorize it, probably not, but they definitely envy the potential income and more so then that, just the freedom it allows. Other then those two and my roomie I am very secretive about what I do for a living. I'm not really ashamed of it, but I recognize that depending on who you're talking to or who's talking about you, it can carry social stigma that might negatively impact me in the future in ways I can't predict.
