Hate to disagree, petdave, but this type of scam nets millions of dollars per year from trusting people who not only send money, but also cash (fake) cheques for their lover or become unwitting mules for both stolen funds and merchandise paid for with stolen credit card info.
         

It's just so damned tawdry. It's like stealing a kid's bicycle, or hitting elderly people up for fake home repairs. Yeah, there's money to be made, but there's nothing admirable about it... it's just a matter of being more dishonest than the average person expects anyone to be. i guess i just like to think big.

And while i'm not exactly a fan of FinDommes, i agree that it doesn't have anything to do with that.

There is also an excellent chance that 'she' is a he, and has a number of cons going with a variety of naive people. This is how some people make  their living, and a good one too.

On the other hand, I voluntarily sent someone 50 bucks once, for a bus ticket, even though she didn't ask me to do so, and the good news is that she did show up. I paid for stuff while she visited, and I didn't mind. Things didn't work out as we weren't really compatible, but I voluntarily gave her a small amount of spending money before she left.  Again, she didn't ask. Another time, I did not send someone any money for travel, and she never showed up. She chickened out, but came to visit the next week and paid her own way. During the time we saw each other, I paid for most of our outings, but I had more money than she did, and it didn't really bother me.

Aww man, this whole debacle is pretty terrible.  In an early post, someone mentioned ab/dl specific places to go.  As a DL myself, I have to say that that's not going to do much better.  Unfortunately, the ab/dl community is largely populated by carnivorous men.  As such, most of the women who love ab/dl things tend to stay away from them.  (Oh, the stories I could tell from my former female DL friends...)

As such, there's a good, if not better, chance that disaster could strike much more easily.

It is truly a shame and a disgrace the lengths that some people will go to aquire wealth.

My only advice is to really work up the personal relationship aspect before even considering monetary compensation or gifts or anything of that sort.  My main piece of advice though - look locally.  Locally doesn't mean she has to live 10 miles away from you, but if she is a real person and is really strapped for cash, an offer to meet halfway between where you two live is always a good way to casually introduce yourselves on the real life front.  -- and the best part is, if you DID send her gas money (even with the high cost of gas nowadays) you wouldn't be losing too much if she flaked out.

But here's a SECRET.  A secret that I think a lot more ab/dls need to learn.
Be judgemental!  No, not literally.  But learn to pick out the potential for fetish fun.  Generally, the kinkier a person is, the more willing they are to travel outside of their own kink.  So if you're dating a 100% vanilla person - the kind of person who won't even have sex unless it's the missionary position and every light is off in the house - then chances are they're not going to react too well when you tell them you like diapers and baby things.

However...  once a kink, always a kink.  If you can get them into an "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours," style situation, make the best of it.  If you think she can handle it, broach the subject gently and informatively.  I don't think we should ever have to justify our sexual deviance to another person, but in this case you will most likely have to.  Be gentle, be slow.

And that advice extends very much so if she is in any way willing.  Forcing your fetish on her is the number one way to ruin everything.  And trust me, I know it's hard.  Most of us AB's and DL's have had these fetishes/desires since we were very young, and when you find someone willing you just want to flood out all of your fantasies and desires upon them as if you haven't gone to the bathroom in a week and they are the world's biggest, comfiest, diaper.  (Sorry, I couldn't refuse that metaphor.)

Take it slowly.  You may ask gently if she is interested, but never, never force the subject.  If she wants to, she'll volunteer or submit to gentle persuasion.  Gentle is the keyword here.  Gently, gently, gently.  And then if/when she does indulge you, don't make it seem like she has to do it every single time you're together.  Like I said, let her work her way up to her own level of comfort.

And if that's not encouraging, a statistic!  People like math, right?
[I enjoy wearing and having other people wear, for the record.]
I have slept with 9 people.
Of these 9, we rule 2 of them out because they were solitary incidents.  (Sigh)
So 7 people who were long term relationships.

[If a diapered sissy is traveling by train at 90mph from Cincinatti and an adult baby is driving from Dallas at 70mph, at what time will they need their diapers changed...?  ---oh, wait, not that kind of math.  Sorry, I'm getting all wordy!]

7 people, right.  Only one of them never found out about my, er, habit.  The other 6 all did.  All 6 of them were willing to diaper me, after a time.  3 of them never got the chance.  All 6 of them were willing to wear for me, after a time.  3 of them never got the chance.

So out of 7 true relationships, I would have been diapered by 6 of them, and I did diaper 3 of them.  (I also diapered another, but our relationship was never sexual, so I guess she averages out the 6 to 7...)

Those... are not bad odds at all.  If I can convince 6/7ths of the people I had serious relationships with to put me in diapers, then I think you'll be able to as well.

Chin up, buddy, you're a good looking guy!  :3

jerry, really sorry that you were so disappointed. Maybe I am just the eternal optimist but I am hoping she does show up and that the crises will prove to have been legitimate. Shit does happen and at awkward times too! While I have only sent money once to someone I met on the net, I didn't regret it at all, it helped him out greatly and I felt good being a benefactor. I have made and sent gifts to people I have met and received some too ... and that has only served to brighten My days both ways. BUT ... I send things on My terms and I don't ask. It's not clear from the posts whether she outright asked ... or whether she made the need known and he offered to meet it. Either way, I'm not going to jump in and be judgemental, I'm just going to hope for a more positive update. And will send My wishes to jerry to be careful and luckier!

As a general rule, if someone is asking for "tribute"....expect to be screwed.
Only consider something monetary AFTER you meet someone.

Oo oo, so it's a guarantee that I'm gonna get laid!

Types "tribute" into search mode and gleefully clicks enter.

Scammed?

i know very well, what you are going through now.

No money lost, however 2 trips to the airport - in vain of course - those persons have even called me by phone: my flight has just been called, i switch off my mobile now, looking forward to see you.

Nobody showed up in Alicante.

Why? the hell? Its not the money spent (in your case in cash, in my case in form of fuel, toll, time).

Its, that you expected something very positive - and are disappointed.

Feeling with you
Lady Karin

Fuck her mate.   You got dooped.   My advice.  Don't underestimate vanilla, because whilst it's only vanilla, it can still be served in a variety of interesting ways if you know what I mean?  Channel your anger to your dick and find some sexy woman at a bar, chat her up, use those man skills to get her into bed, and fuck the shit out of her until she feels like a herd of elephants has just stampeded through her vagina. ...  Its shit like this, that makes boys, grow into MEN.  We've all been stood up.  Me, personally, only casually from dumb bitches who thought they were too good for my company, only to now beg for it and constantly be rejected... Which is awsome... It makes me feel a bit like a (dare I say) Domme .  Remember, if you love something let it go.

It's incidents like these that keep me from contacting all dominants that don't say they are pro's asking for a tribute eventhough after reading their profile I feel we would mesh.

I sincerely you will find in the future what you seek. Time heals all wounds but it can take awhile in instances like these
