I commonly work at night almost always see "johns" driving by looking for action. You can always tell what they're after because they drive through the parking very slowly and they loop back and forth for a few hours. You see the same couple cars going through every five minutes. Anyways the other night I was loading up some photo equipment and some dude drives by real slow checking me out. He does this a few times before pulling into the parking lot my car is in and propositions me for the sex. I was wicked shocked because: I am a male, and even though my hair is getting long I have never been mistaken for a homosexual. And I wasn't exactly hanging out on the corner or even standing around, I was busy loading heavy equipment into my car. I hadn't shaved for a few days so maybe I looked poor. I am also young and attractive so maybe he couldn't help himself. I was looking at all the posts about picking up hookers and I thought I'd ask whether anyone had ever been picked up like one.

My wife has been hassled by cops thinking she was a hooker, while she was only waiting for a ride.I've been picked up by a guy at a bar, but he didn't offer to pay. I've had plenty of hookers proposition me. The last one was wagging her leg at me from under her miniskirt, trying to get me to buy cell phone service at the mall.

Yep, I used to wait in the morning for a shop to open in Tucson, on south 6th Avenue in the mornings, and guys would stop and ask if I wanted 'a ride.' [Link] |

It has happened once, near a park that's a prostitution hotspot of my hometown. It's not a gay spot though, so I was a bit unsettled. the car just slowed down as I was walking & the guy opened his window & waited for me to proposition. He almost came to halt 4 a moment, then when he saw there was no response from me, he finally drove on. I felt flattered, in a sick way. Maybe I should have done it, just for the bucks. As far as I can recall, I was unemployed at the time.i should be so lucky, lucky lucky lucky Edited by - vodka tonic on 6/17/2003 4:48:01 PM  [Link] |

Again, this is the about being propositioned as a buyer, but why start a new thread.I'm the typical tourist walking back to my hotel from the local convenience store in Waikiki. A young lady in her mid to late twenties stops me and asks where am I going in such a hurry. I tell her that I'm going back to my hotel. After a few lines of small talk she asks if I would like some company. I tell her no, I have plenty of company back at my hotel room. Of course, my wife and kids are quite interested in my retelling of the encounter. Depending on where I am, I have gotten propositioned quite a few times as a potential john. When I'm in a store people often ask me for things, mistaking me for an employee. Maybe it's just my demeanor.  [Link] |

On my very first trip to LA in 1995, I was walking from my hotel to a shopping center about a mile away.A guy drove slowly passed me and wanted to know if I wanted a ride somewhere. I said no, but thought I was actually declining a ride somewhere. Funny thing is, I was dressed very conservatively, in shorts and a polo shirt. But I found out later that Sepulveda Boulevard in Van Nuys/Sherman Oaks is stripper central in the San Fernando Valley.  [Link] |

When I was about 18 or 19 I lived on the near west side of Cleveland (I live on the southwest side now, very close to Parma). Every Thursday evening I took a walk from my apartment on W. 80th street up to W. 65th street and got a cup of hot chocolate at the drug store and stood around for a few minutes sipping and collecting my wits before I walked back home. (My shrink advised me to do this, my group session was on Thursday evenings and he wanted me to calm down from my day and process before I came to group.)I have to point out just how naive I was back then. I mean, I knew a lot of stuff, but I hadn't lived in the city for very long, and my husband kept me at home ALL the time. We had moved to Cleveland from an Amish community and before I was married I lived in a rural area. I would never stand around on a street corner NOW!!! So there I was, minding my own business, sipping my chocolate and watching the traffic and the people and whatnot - getting ready to go to therapy. The police pull up, get out of their car, and come over to me. "Miss, can you explain your activities?" "What activities?" "Miss, would you step over to the car?" "What did I do?" ...etc. I was horrified, I was clueless, I was fixing to panic and freak out. I'm pretty sure I was crying, but I can't really remember. This is when the funny part comes in. There actually were hookers on that corner - across the street. I didn't know they were hookers! They came to my rescue! They (two of them) came over to the police and told the police I was NOT a working girl and that they knew I lived down the road a few blocks and that I walked up that way every week. The police apologized to me, DROVE ME HOME TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T LYING, and told me I shouldn't walk around by myself in such a dangerous neighborhood. I had a lot to say at my therapy session that night.  [Link] |

No, but I once had the opportunity to play "lumberjack" for $100, for some closeted CEO (no sex involved, I guess I just had to be burly). I passed. One of my classmates in art history in college, a gay guy, told me he turned tricks for a while to pay tuition. And I was led to believe by a former longterm girlfriend that she was some kind of escort for what I would gather was a brief "phase," but I wasn't sure I wanted to know so I didn't inquire beyond her little "hint." These days, I am certain it would be a turn-on. But now I am middle-aged and kinky revelations are as bread=and-butter to my libido. [Link] |

Nothing recent, but when I was nine and walking with my dad, stepmother, and sisters, my dad was propositioned by a hooker. It was in Amsterdam, though, so maybe it's normal there for hookers to approach guys who are out walking with the wife and kids. Another funny thing -- that place on 6th Avenue also had about 4 other people waiting before it opened at 9am every weekday, and one of the people who waited there was a 69 year old woman named Anna. She was from Germany, and totally into her looks. She had married a U.S. GI and moved to the U.S., and had been widowed for a long time, but she had bleach-blonde hair and always wore boots or stilettos and mini shirts and a leopard pattern coat. She was always talking about going to the army base hospital where she got free care, and she would purr and coo about seeing 'the colonel' who was the doctor there. She would say that she was going to see the colonel, and she'd lean forward and pull her neckline down to show her bra to my friend and me and say that she had nice underwear on to go to the doctor. Coo. Purrrrr. So, anyway, she had terrific legs. Every now and then some car would come up behind her in her boots and leopard coat, and slow down, and a guy would start to proposition her, and she'd turn around, and the guy would get one look at her very weathered, sun damaged 69 year old face and hit the gas pedal right on out of there.

Short answer is no...this might be considered strange since I've been escorting part-time on and off since I was 18! While I consider my clothing to be "sexy" or alluring I never wear anything cheap. Certainly, appearance alone is not the answer though. Probably more is that I'm pretty familiar with all of the areas I've frequented and consciously avoid those areas that have a high incidence of street prostitution for if for no other reasons but my own safety. It's only speculation but the other might be that usually when I'm downtown I'm working (legitimately) or on my way to or from work and I'm carrying my attaché' case, newspaper or something of the sort I'm and usually with other commuters. Who knows? [Link] |
