I wanted to share some thoughts and maybe find some support or advice from others in the community. I’ve been working in the GFE (Girlfriend Experience) industry for a while now, and as a Black woman, I’ve noticed it can be challenging to attract clientele sometimes.

It feels like there’s an unspoken bias that plays a big role in this industry. While there are definitely clients who appreciate diversity and seek out Black women specifically, it often feels like the majority have a certain “type” in mind that doesn’t include us. It can be disheartening, especially when you’re putting in the same effort, offering the same quality of service, and still not seeing the same results as others.

I also feel like there’s a lot of stereotyping that comes into play. People have preconceived notions about what a Black woman’s GFE should be like, and it can be frustrating to have to constantly navigate those expectations or feel like you need to conform to them just to attract clients.

I know there’s a market out there for us, and I’ve had some amazing clients who love and appreciate what I bring to the table. But it’s hard not to feel discouraged sometimes when you’re overlooked or undervalued because of your skin color.

For those of you who have faced similar challenges, how do you deal with it? Any tips on how to better market myself or reach a wider audience? I’d love to hear about others’ experiences and how you’ve managed to stay positive and successful in this industry.

Thanks for letting me vent! I’m hoping this can spark some helpful conversations.
