For a change, this post should not be read as a complaint or anything like it. Here’s what prompted it:
In a candid interview, former culture secretary Nadine Dorries has revealed that she used to go on dates to get free meals because she was paid so little as a trainee nurse. Mrs Dorries left school at 16 and began training as a nurse at 18, but was shocked at the pittance she was paid.
‘It was not eating money,’ she said, revealing how she and friends would accept dates to get a free meal.
…and I’m not at all shocked by the revelation that women use sex (or even the vague promise thereof) to get money or whatever from men.
‘Twas ever thus, and we men have always acknowledged it without any kind of bitterness or rancor. Women have always had the upper hand in this regard, and it’s just the way of the world.
Indeed, I’m quite jealous of the fact that women can set up an OnlyFans account and, regardless of appearance*, sell online videos of themselves having a little sex fun, whether solo action or with a partner. (*No matter what they look like or how old they are, there will always be men who have a fantasy about that particular look, and are willing to pay for the privilege of seeing their fantasies brought to life, so to speak.)
Ditto all the InstaGram and TikTok “influencers”, of whom the biggest earners seem to consist mostly of hot younger women.
Is all this “unfair” to men? Yeah… whatever. I mean, no woman (and certainly no man) is going to pay a monthly sum to watch me clean a gun or sample different gins (probably the only two activities I’m capable of doing with any competence at this time of my life). I wish that were not true, but there it is.
Anyway, here’s a pic of Nadine Dorries, taken some time ago:
…shown for educational purposes to my Murkin Readers, who probably have no clue who she is.
Like the old joke about how women are the best salespeople in the world – they can sell you their pussy on Monday, then come Tuesday sell you the exact same pussy again and get you to pay for it twice.
… and the really good sales people can sell you just the possibility without having to provide the product and get you to gladly buy the just possibility over and over again.

Men can do that too…It’s just that their patrons will also (largely) be other men and unless they can get a stream of attractive women, their “action” will be of the sort that most of us don’t engage in, and if we do DO NOT want to do that for the public.
There’s a “historical vlogger” who opened an OnlyFans account for a period of 2 weeks, posting a single picture per day of herself fully clothed in “Edwardian/Victorian” fashion, but advertising it as “saucy ankle pics.”
After she closed the account down once the 2 weeks were up she had a lot more subscribers than she ever imagined and OnlyFans told her she was in the top100 accounts, or maybe it was top 1000.
Of course.. she is also very pretty, so I’m sure that plus the sheer oddity of the account helped.
Vid’s pretty long at 27 minutes, but I thought it was a very entertaining watch — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSxQHQ_1gX4
from the age of twenty until I turned thirty-one I purchased (for the price of a dinner) the pleasure of conversation and company of a very beautiful woman over a restaurant table every month or so when I was in town…until I got married. my wife put a stop to it, rightfully so, I guess.
In the eighties, I became a collector of strip club tee-shirts. I have over twenty of them that I paid about $200 each. The “Buy the shirt off my back” marketing could not be resisted.
As long as you didn’t waste your money on silly stuff like the mortgage, kids’ college fund, etc.
Not applicable. I’ve always been single without any offspring , as far as I know. I’ve always been a good time Charlie as well, never more than two paychecks from financial disaster. Always made my bad decisions without outside help and I live with them. I’m good with that.
Years ago I and a business partner were in a McDonalds across the street from our office grabbing a quick lunch when a truly beautiful blonde woman came in, ordered a burger and sat down to eat it.
Tom, my partner, said “What the hell is she doing in here?” I asked why he was surprised and he told me pretty much what you say in your post, but Tom phrased it as: “If she walked up to you and asked you to take her to the most expensive restaurant in town, would you do it?”
Then there’s Heinlein again: ‘Whenever women have insisted on absolute equality with men, they have invariably wound up with the dirty end of the stick. What they are and what they can do makes them superior to men, and their proper tactic is to demand special privileges, all the traffic will bear. They should never settle merely for equality. For women, “equality” is a disaster.’
So yes, I would have bought her lunch, with bells on.
