i know this has been said before, but i will say it again. all relationships require something of value to be exchanged. either love or money. you ALWAYS pay,whether or not you even know it.

having an argument now with a fool who says he loves having a (paid) lover but would never hire an escort. people can be so ignorant....

I haven't really followed this thread, but just to reassert the usual and obvious:

A woman who demands money for sex is a prostitute. It doesn't matter that's she's young and horny, nor that she doesn't actually need to demand money for sex in order to maintain her standard of living - she's still a prostitute if she demands money for sex. Sorry, but she doesn't get to duck the big argument about whether or not it's OK to be a prostitute just because she's a 'kind of classy' sort of prostitute.

As for prostitutes who try to shoehorn themselves into that body of ordinary, old-fashioned and kind of endearing group of women who 'want men to be gentlemen who'll see that a (L)lady deserves gifts'; or who think that demanding money for sex is justified because 'every relationship, when it comes down to it, involves payment for a service' . . . oh, for fuck's sake, give it a rest. That argument has never, ever worked. Only men who use prostitutes regularly will ever support it. Please just give it up. It is *unbelievably* tiresome. Stop chickening out of the battle: show why being a prostitute is OK. Own who you are and what you do, for fuck's sake. One thing I really can't stand is empty, pea-brained women who clearly need feminist arguments to support their case but are too snottily right wing and reactionary to employ them.

Here are a few more simple rules that will help you avoid being scammed:

1. If her location is Ghana or Nigeria, she's probably a scammer.
2. If she refers to you as a "pay piggy" or "ATM slave" you should probably avoid her.
3. If she looks like a super model, and her pictures look like they came from a photo shoot for a bikini magazine, she's probably fake (how many people do you know who use professional photographers for their social media pics?).
4. If she's 18 - 25 years old, is giving you the bird in her picture, and says she has 10 years of experience as a Domme, she's probably a fake.
5. If she requires you to send her money before she'll even communicate with you, she should probably be avoided.

Having said all of that, there ARE financial Dommes who are very real.  They provide a valuable service for those who seek financial domination.  But they'll behave like normal people.  They'll recognize that you're a potential client/customer and they'll treat you accordingly.

But the single best piece of advice I could give you is to get off of your computer and go to a local munch.  It's amazing how I get approached by financial Dommes everyday on-line, but I've never been approached by one in real life.  NEVER! That alone should tell you something. 

So log off, and go meet a real Domme in your area.  You'll be glad you did.
