also work is work. but if you're not working a job that is benefiting someone or something in some professional aspect getting some amount of track-able progression that you can follow you're whoring yourself out. so if your job doesnt involve getting anything done that is beneficial outside of someones desires or wants .. not needs consider yourself a ho
and theres nothing wrong with being a ho. you gotta hustle sometimes

Being a housework isn't being a whore and you obviously have no idea what is involved in raising a kid and why some people stay home. Shut up.

Dear schoolofloverboy's parents,
Thanks, y'all.
Sincerely,
Society

I don't even know what that means, other than the fact that she's a whorey McWhore whore.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just don't dress it up and call it TWU WUV. The internets know better, Buttercup.

This isn't even standard prositution, its the "girlfriend experience." She's selling acting like she's in love and behaving committed without any of those annoying needs women have, its all on his terms.
On one level, they're happy, so whose business is it? But I'm not happy for them either, its a pretty fucked up situation with people who have obvious issues.

BTW, would Sugar Daddy be willing to pay my approx. 10 grand in medical bills? I promise NOT to show him my middle-aged scarred body.

As for the judgmental aspect, I think there's another issue- what happens if it doesn't work out? I'm assuming you've already thought about it, but I've brought that up with friends in a similar position and worry that they think I'm raining on their parade, when really I'm just an all contingencies kind of girl.

Which is still misogynistic, judgmental bullshit. I don't care how this woman makes her money as long as she's not hurting anyone. She's a grown adult and she can do what she wants.

I don't think there's anything misogynistic about curling your lip at someone so unapologetically obnoxious.

I personally cannot wrap my mind around someone paying for my company because I look good on his arm. I think that is why Beech's discussion of her upkeep and the clothes and shoes and jewelry her sugar daddy keeps iner in is so odious to me--what's going to happen when your looks fade, which they will?
And on a shallow note, if that's really her sugar daddy in the photo, that guy is way too good looking to have to hire a girlfriend.

Instead of going the sugar baby route (not that I would fit the looks or malleability standards), I am looking into part-time work, possibly in tutoring or freelance writing. I just resent her whole tone of making other women feel stupid or inferior because they don't have similar arrangements.
It's been questionable enough when I've used the "he takes care of me" excuse (Read: Pays for dinners out, not my rent) for staying in emotionally abusive or broken relationships longer than I should have. Organic, loving relationships that have any chance of long-term success are hard enough without throwing in the ability to procure $600 shoes as an additional requirement.

So I already got this financial punch-in-the-face this morning, and "classy" Melissa Beech just pushed me a little over the edge with all her braying about how lucky she is to have a rich guy take care of everything for her. Oh well, my scrappy nature will overcome the Melissa Beeches of the world.

@ManicPixiePoliticalGirl: I figured out that if you go to your profile (if you don't know how to do that - click on "profile" on the right hand side of the pale blue bar on the top of the screen) and then click on "messages" you can get to your private messages. If you click on another member's name it'll take you to their profile, where you can click on "messages" to leave her a note. I do remember you from the meet-up but I can't remember your name! Leave it in a PM and I will FB friend you.

This is really emblematic of the whole confession as benediction thing that people seem to expect these days. Just because you were brave enough to talk about it, you deserve acceptance and praise even if you have no perspective and show no growth.
