where would you rank them
A. strippers
B. escorts
C. AMP
w/o having extensive knowledge with B/C the impression I get is escorts can be broken down into the high end(HE) and low end(LE) and not personally but again since this is about social standing I think it would go
B.HE(high end) escort
A.stripper
C.LE(low end) escort
D.AMP

Obviously there are many excepts and much overlap. However in terms of social standing:
(A) High-end of SA (they are sex workers whether they admit it or not)
(B) High-end escorts (who work independently)
(C) Stippers
(D) Low-end escorts who are pimped out
(D) AMP workers (also suspect there is considerable trafficing)
Not a typo, I gave letter "D" twice
At the top, I was tempted to put high-end escorts and then strippers, but in a number of litmus tests, it's clearly the opposite. Imagine confiding in your friends, or your sister (say) that your new girlfriend is a sex worker... there's no way a stripper won't be far more accepted than someone who fucks for money, high end or not. In addition, you can claim with some credibility (outside the PL crowd) that the stripper isn't fucking her customers, and that the stripper is just making it through a rough time. A high end escort is definitely fucking, and I think most people have an innate understanding that a high-end escort doesn't get high end without committing to escorting as a career (although they probably VASTLY under-estimate the size of commitment and dedication it takes to transition to a high end escort).
In short, your family and friends won't be happy you're dating a stripper, but they'll deal; they won't accept you dating an escort, period, most likely.
So, for normal people:
1. stripper
2. any escort
3. AMP
For me:
1. FBSM/bodyrub
2. stripper
3. any level of escort
4. AMP
2. High end strip club stripper
3. Low end strip club stripper
4. Low end escort, basically a stereotypical prostitute
AMPs are lowest simply because most are poorly educated undocumented immigrants.

Stripfighter also mentioned pornstar, in my experience pornstars are to be avoided. Prices are usually higher than a typical High End escorts, and they are not worth it. I have had a few amazing times with pornstars, but most often they have not been worth it. While you might not think so, pornstars are often the least skilled in sexual activities of any sex worker.
- A sex business client perspective: as in, high end escorts are paid the most, and are the most exclusive
- A general societal view: as in, if I had to tell my boss, my mother, and my best friend what my girlfriend does, I think it's easier to say she's an escort than she's a stripper
Because, from the personal point of view, I can't imagine my family or friends being very accepting of any escort, whereas they might not be thrilled, but definitely could accept a stripper. Or, in other words, a stripper is absolutely not as low on the social ladder as a high end escort. High end escorts are higher on the SEX INDUSTRY SOCIAL LADDER, but definitely not general society IMO.
