      So, are you sitting down? There’s this new thing called “the Internet”. Have you checked there? Shouldn’t be too challenging, I expect — unless you’re related to the cabbage patch kid above.

        Their point, obviously, is that average Joe can’t just post a picture of their feet on instagram and get money for that.

              Do you think women are all stupid to not simply get rich with feet pics and Onlyfans? I mean, you can’t really think those incel theories of: “women just have to upload some pics and get money, I can’t, unfair! Mimimi” are true, right?

              Than all men can do it too. Just sell pics to gay men.

                Do you think women are all stupid to not simply get rich with feet pics and Onlyfans?

                No. I think most women feel personally uncomfortable with having an onlyfans, despite the money in it.

                My point is still true though, most women could make money at it if they wanted to.

                And not all men could do it, not even most men. The market for average or below looking men is a lot smaller than it is for women. There’s just fewer gay men than straight men, for one thing. To make enough money for it to be worth the time investment (before even considering whether you’re comfortable with it) the bar is higher for men than women.

                I do suspect more men could make money at it than they realize. But still, not on the same scale as women.

      They are no where. It’s a typical misogynists theory that all women can easily make money with Onlyfans and have people paying their rent.

    • Not all women have features everyone finds desirable
    • Not all women want people to look at their naked body, especially people with weird fetishes
    • Prostitution is a failsafe, not “having people willing to pay your rent”
    • People can usually access porn for free, so models on sites like OnlyFans have to really put in the work
    • Sometimes creeps can message women and harass them
    • Not all women are attracted to men
    • It’s important not to have too many strangers know you naked
    • You need room for doing chores around the house, not just taking naked photos
    • Sometimes being naked isn’t enough
    • You need to make sure not to get obese and keep your skin clean
    • Periods

      The first two fair enough, third one I wouldn’t classify it as that. You don’t have to be attracted to men to make content solo or with other women. Your next point is, just an opinion I guess, since people will have different things they find important in life. Your last two points are true regardless. Also, there are women who actually like this kind of work, and ultimately it’s up to them if they do it or not.

      It’s nice to have a backup option in life or at least the possibility of one. There are many people (men and women) who are not in positions to have any possibility of a backup option. I generally try not to judge people, especially if they aren’t hurting anyone. Not that you are judging anyone, it’s just a general principle I have.

        Than I don’t understand why men are whining. You can just have gay men pay your rent via doing sex work and posting images as well.

    It’s the oldest profession for a reason. Everyone is selling their body just one gender can do it more directly more easily and with the Internet doesn’t even have to do it with people interacting with their physical body anymore.

    When times are rough, some fucker will still be horny.

      “can do it more directly more easily”.

      Jep, I guess it’s easy to work the most dangerous job you can have. That’s why especially people in wealthy countries do it. Because it’s direct easy money…
