Much of what follows is a re-paste-&-mix of prior postings of mine, FYI . .. .
First, my general policy statement:
I appreciate professional BDSM providers, porn actors, strippers, prostitutes, & others who're toiling in 'the adult entertainment industry' / 'sex work' / whatever euphemism we're using this week . . . . . It's important & difficult work, & its practitioners deserve respect . . . . .
As such, I almost prefer people who've seen a professional BDSM provider. *shrugs*
& whining about the subject of (especially women) getting paid for work in the 'adult entertainment industries' is a big turn-off for me, & it tends to render the whiner ugly in my eyes no matter what exterior package that attitude is wrapped in.
I don't chase young, fit, attractive women, so I suspect I miss out on the many opportunities to be conned, hustled, & etc by those pretending-to & / or capitalizing-on being young-fit-attractive-female, but I can discern when someone is batting way out of their league, as seems to be the case for an awful lot of the whiners of 'fakes & frauds & liars, oh my' as well as the complainers about 'gold-diggers' . . . .
I've always liked doing the math -- hottie young chiquitas or dudes only make up a small portion of the overall dating pool (keeping in mind that more than half of Americans are overweight -- with similar for the other 'wealthy' nations -- & that a full 1/3 of US population fit the medical definition of 'obese'; & only about 10%-20% of the population is between 18 & whatever cut-off age one uses in determining 'hotness', & so on) . . . . . . . .
I once heard the stat that only about 2% of the total global population are 'naturally' built like a super-model, so it seems reasonable that something on the order of 1-in-10 are going to meet this hypothetical ideal of young-fit-skinny-pretty . . . . .
& the competition for that small portion of the dating pool is pretty fierce . . . . . .
So. The question becomes: what does one have on offer to lure the pretty fishies?
That 'economic' reality underlies why some pretend to be pretty fishies, & why some expect extra (cash) bait . .. . .
In general (&, yes, data points vary widely) pretty fishies tend to prefer to date & mate with other pretty fishies; those less-pretty fishies must offer up something that the other pretty fishies don't -- stereotypically money, but it can be personality, sense of humor, access, power, skills, somethin' above & beyond the ordinary ho-hum . . . . .
The further one is from young-pretty-fit, the more this is so, I tend to think . .. . . .
& for the crystal-clear record, I'm a not-so-pretty, not-so-young, not-so-fit-nor-skinny cougar who likes the guy variety of the younger & prettier & skinny & fit . . . . . I do okay . .. . . *shrugs shoulder* . .. . . & I don't really do the money thing, much . . . . .
