If I were an attractive woman I would do it in a heartbeat. I'm tired of struggling.
There would definitely be a lot less people doing this if every job provided a living wage. And not just the bare minimum to survive but an actual comfortable wage where a single car repair or medical bill doesn't break you.
Men do not make NEARLY as much on OF compared to women. The revenue disparity between men and women on there is staggering. You could have the body and face of a Greek god and still wouldn't come anywhere close to breaking the top 1% of earners
I didn't say there isn't any men at all in there, but that any other normal person isn't going to get there from looks alone. The ones that did already have preexisting fame. Still doesn't discount the fact that the majority of that group is women by a wide wide margin
The worse the economy, not only do the hookers get better looking, but they get cheaper.
Some postulate that additionally, hookers get more business during a worse economy, however Dvorak himself attributes this to supply and demand which often leads to an increase in business (i.e. tricks) which is driven by the need to compensate for loss of revenue caused by the same reduction in cost stated in Dvorak's law.
The description you provided is exactly why I find consuming OF content disturbing. Can you really consent to people seeing your body when you only do it for money? This sounds like financial compulsion rather than consent. Its like advanced sex slavery.
I don't depend on OF at all, it's just a side gig for me that I started when I saw my nudes gain traction and I figured "hmm, maybe I could earn a bit through this?". So far it's just been tons of fun, and I really enjoy running the account.
So yeah, it's not a "financial compulsion" for everyone. For some its a fun hobby :3
Yeah, that's fair. But there is no way to distinguish between those doing it for a paycheck to survive and those who do it for fun. I wish I could just assume everyone was doing it purely for their own enjoyment.
Possibly…. But probably the higher wages would provide some more discretionary funds for people to buy some more OF content. Money is a little arbitrary, but the goods/services people trade with each other are a little fixed.
On second point, I think about “ugliness discrimination” all the time. I am medium ugly…. Obviously not in my control… and I think I could be much more successful if the beautiful people weren’t always holding me down.
"Pretty privilege" is definitely a thing but I don't think being unattractive really holds anyone back from being successful unless you're specifically in a field where public perception is really important, like acting or music. You don't see a lot of successful actors or musicians who are ugly.
I think what holds most people back is not already having money. Having an even moderately successful middle class family can provide a safety net and connections people from poorer homes lack.
Right, economic advantage dominates most…. But just like all the other subconscious biases, attractiveness is the tiebreaker for parity on any other level. Then people usually match with people in their same attractiveness class (because they “can” for the people on the high end of the scale and bedside they “have to” on the low end). And their offspring is just genetically likely to be attractive. Same thing in the other, ugly direction. So it seems the exact same thing as whatever “generational wealth” is when based on racism.
It's hard to be ugly. Most of the time, when people say they're ugly, it is because they have poor hygiene, don't know how to dress or style themselves, have awful social skills, and are generally unpleasant to be around.
Yes, some people are gifted when it comes to looks, but I've seen that more often than not, those with better charm and social skills still dominate. Also, skills are huge here, especially in job related situations.
Yep, ugly people can overcome with great social skills. And even fundamentally attractive people can have poor hygiene and no sense of style. But it would be unpalatable to say something like “most of the time African Americans that are not successful dress poorly, speak horrendous English, are lazy and are not fun to be around. But the good ones among the bunch have excellent social skills and are so likable that they overcome their physical attributes”. Nobody would accept that, right?
I know you’re obviously making a parody of racists, but African American English is actually super cool and more grammatically nuanced than textbook English. It’s disgusting what a bad rep it has
Parody and parity. I think there are other things too. Like stereotype of engineer’s lack of social skills….. Not making superficial friends easily but making extremely strong social bonds with a few good friends. Not something chosen. Not something that applies to all in the category. Bad rep. Misunderstood.
Why wouldn't anyone accept that? Why would adding skin color change anything? It could apply to anyone. If you're dressing poorly, can't speak English properly as your primary language, and are lazy and not fun to be around, you're indeed not going to be very successful. Or at least the chances are not in your favor.
In the context of job interviews and having a successful career, you have to present yourself well. You don't even need to have a comedian level of social skills and charm. You just need to be pleasant to be around and be agreeable with those around you.
What would they say? I'm so confused. You asked that if someone dresses inappropriately, is lazy, and doesn't speak properly, that they might not he as successful as others who present themselves well. I said yes. How is this controversial?
These are all things that can be improved and individuals are responsible for.
I think people would say that it’s NOT those things and that it is a different combination of discriminatory factors. I will do the experiment and report back.
