I thought I'd comment on this thread mainly because the issue comes up all of the time. I think the reason it comes up is that quite often in most areas, especially areas where there isn't a huge bdsm community out presence, one looking for connections to the scene in his local area generally finds that he pays a lot of attention to the profiles of people who consistently refresh on CollarMe. As someone who lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I can tell you that whenever I peruse the site, I find the same people always showing up on the main feed. And the reason for that is because they're the most active. They're probably the most active because they happen to be trying to drum up business for their financial domination stuff they do, which causes them to be online and on the site almost all of the time. As a result, you'll constantly see them on the site, giving the erroneous impression that the women you constantly keep seeing are those that are asking for money.
What I've done over the years on the site is to filter them out by seeing a financial dominant, and if she's not also an active poster on the boards (meaning I'd like to hear more from her, not because she's a financial dominant, but because she might have something interesting to say), then I'll "hide" that person so I never see her advertising listing again. That is how I have slowly changed Collar Me to a place that doesn't show me as many financial wannabes asking for money all of the time whenever I refresh the system.
In the years that I've been in the scene, I've run across a small percentage of women who are only in this for the money. Even the professionals I have known (and/or served) have been less about the money than they have been about the lifestyle or at least the practice. But I've also come across those who are strictly into the money, and I understand that there are guys who cater directly to that fetish, so I'm fine with that. It's just not my thing. I don't get turned on by emptying my wallet. As a matter of fact, I'm someone who hates the very concept of money, but partake in the use of it because survival leads to survival, so to speak.
What I have discovered, especially in the areas where I have lived, there are a lot of very attractive women (or people with pictures of very attractive women) who put out the shingle in hopes of getting guys to pay money, stating they are interested in money pigs or other such commentaries. In bdsm communities I've often heard women discussing amongst themselves about how they should make it rich by becoming financial dommes, as if that's all there is to making money in this business (which it's not). I used to laugh inside when I'd hear these conversations because it's those kinds of conversations that leads to a lot of amateur dominants showing up on these sites, convinced that an attractive picture will then lead to riches as long as their capricious and act the part. I don't see too many of them last that long.
