Yeah, there are some super touching moments, and so much positive, respectful dialogue (which I doubt is gonna make any difference in the end). It's really deep, but at the same time it gets super boring at times also. It also gets um very weird at times, but I have the feeling it's going to get even moreso. People are so kind, to put so much of their emotional energy into such a situation.I’m pretty new here, so I looked at the back tattoo thread for the first time today.
I couldn’t continue reading it beyond the few most relevant posts (the photo, etc). It’s too hard to read, scroll and facepalm at the same time.
Is there a 90 day fiance thread? We are still on the season with Paul and Karine, before she has the baby. It really is such an amazingly GREAT show!
Yes, from the perspective of an ex counselor, I understand. I was charged out to medicaid at $168, although I myself received about the equivalent of $17 per hour at the time. It was considered almost a sin to bring money up in that context too. One day I looked at all of the ladies at my clinic (who had devoted their whole careers to it and LIVES), trying to find one single one, who I would consider a role model. Someone who seemed happy, energetic, healthy, untroubled. Couldn't come up with one single one.
This forum is undeniably helpful for those who can search, read and comprehend. There's so much info it's crazy.
I have to admit that some threads are worth buying some popcorn.
Yes. I think taking a brusque, you can do this for yourself approach, is actually more helpful. There's no point fostering a dependency, or subconsciously feeding into learned helplessness. Each of us have what it take within our own selves, to succeed with our own trials and tribulations, without draining others. The more people are encouraged to depend and drain, the more they will. Boundaries are good. They are GREAT. It's easy to feel guilty, and these energy vampire types will happily feed into that guilt, and manipulate it for their own benefit. Whether consciously or not. It ain't cool. Then if you try to cut them off they get all weird and angry. Boundaries. They need to learn to accept boundaries, and deal with them, if they want dialogue to continue.
Seems like a lot of this happened around the time I joined (either that or it’s constant?). With that in mind, please let me reassure everyone I’m not here for cam model relationship advice and will not be posting any crazy threads.
Not interested in guilt by association on this one. Just here to chat.
Same. Just here to chat. Seems like a lot of this happened around the time I joined (either that or it’s constant?). With that in mind, please let me reassure everyone I’m not here for cam model relationship advice and will not be posting any crazy threads.

And I feel like people take for granted that everyone responding here, or has replied in the thousands of threads of helpful information, are doing it in their spare time. We don't get paid to be here, there is no financial or other advantage to spending time here helping newcomers with information.
Most definitely, I think too many are panicking right now.Yes, I think people are panicking due to economy, and both sides are suffering. Guys are stuck, unable to go out and do the things which kept their lives in balance, and models are probably in same boat. Then you add in the dimension of anxiety about money, the economy, and all that. People are likely on high anxiety mode, and not thinking super clearly.
But as far as the models go, these sites market with these crazy numbers. Saying things like; Make up to $XX XXX in a month. Which undoubtedly some models do. However, the majority do not. It's not easy money. You have to work really hard, as well as have an element of good timing. Some people still enjoy it, while not making huge bucks. Some people enjoy it, and make huge bucks. Some people don't enjoy it, and make very little money. I still love these sites though, as I am sure anyone on this forum does. But they don't have time to run the specific analytics to state exact percentages of models, which make exactly what, every single week. That would be a ridiculous drain on resources. They do what they can, just like the rest of us

If I did not like my anonymity so much... I'd get someone to airbrush tattoo her name on my back just for shits and giggles and post the pic on here..

Do you know how to use the quote system to reply directly to people/what they say? (It would be helpful and I'd appreciate if you'd use it.)@ForceTen
