I saw a reel by an escort talking about difficulties she had dating. It got me wondering

No. We clearly have a different view on intimacy.

People are allowed to have preferences and for many, their partner's choice of work is one of them. Some folks won't date doctors, lawyers, or military personnel. Some won't date bartenders, anyone working in a restaurant, or pilots or flight attendants. The Venn diagram of "occupation" and "occupation someone won't date" is a circle. Sex work is not exempt from that.

What grounds do people preclude partners in for service on? The unsociable hours? The rate of substance abuse?

Everyone's criteria are their own. Who are we to question them, or tell them they're wrong to have them?

EDIT: But I'd imagine those two would be among the more common ones.
