What advice would you give to a woman who is looking to get back into corporate America after almost a decade of sex work (being a Dominatrix)?

Here’s the advice I’d offer to someone transitioning back into corporate work after a career as a dominatrix:
1. Focus on Transferable Skills: Highlight skills gained from your experience that apply to corporate roles, such as communication, conflict resolution, negotiation, emotional intelligence, leadership, and setting boundaries. These are highly valuable in many industries.
2. Reframe Your Experience: If you’re not comfortable being fully transparent, focus on describing your work in ways that align with the corporate world. For example, emphasize entrepreneurship, client management, or running a successful small business.
3. Update Your Resume and LinkedIn: Create a professional narrative. Use neutral language to describe your work experience while showing the results and value you provided (e.g., “Managed client relationships and implemented customized solutions”).
4. Upskill, If Necessary: If your corporate skills feel rusty, consider taking online courses or certifications to refresh your knowledge or learn new tools and technologies relevant to your target field.
5. Build a Narrative for Gaps: If there are gaps in your resume or you prefer not to detail certain years, craft a brief and confident explanation. Examples include “I ran a private consultancy” or “I focused on entrepreneurial ventures and personal development.”
6. Leverage Support Networks: Work with a career coach, mentor, or trusted recruiter who can guide you in tailoring your approach, building confidence, and practicing interviews.
7. Confidence Is Key: Own your story and focus on the value you bring to the table. Your unique background has shaped skills and perspectives that can set you apart in the workplace.

Everyone’s path is unique, and your ability to navigate challenges and run a successful business translates to resilience and adaptability—qualities every employer values.

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

31M here. Met a girl last week, 31F, and we hit it off instantly. We have so much in common and everything feels right, tomorrow will be our 3rd date. She slept over last night, no sex, but we made out all night. I haven’t felt like this for anyone in a while and it feels amazing, but I’m scared to commit. I have this fear of getting hurt or putting in effort only for it not to last.

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
