It is entirely wrong to assume that the other ladies who offer companionship services are in direct competition with me. I was once told that we are like artists: we all have unique features. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Of course, some will disagree with that. Those people are generally unable of developing their own talents, so they think they will be in a better position if they put down others. The resulting impression they get of their “opponents” being below them is an illusion. It doesn’t mean their personal situation has improved.
True competition is about surpassing yourself, and yourself only.
