Posts: 256Think you missed the point
1. They do this for a living. They know the slope a line, trend. 2. Articles are factual, and based on studies. Just presenting the facts. You can do what you want with it.
By the way, my world view is just fine, but thank you. LOL, I have lots of friends by the way, all walks of life, but ill tell them you said that ().

Also, those links you posted are articles, not studies. If I need to explain to you why that's an important distinction, then it wouldn't matter that I explained it to you. The fact that these all seem to be the friends you have probably distorts your world-view.

Posts: 256Crime is INcreasing.
Football Sunday, I'm sitting with a bunch of my friends, some of them ex-military, law enforcement, and even former border patrol. This topic came up. Crime is the "worst they've ever seen", their words, not mine. And they do this for a living.
Below is a collage of recent articles from 2021, mostly the Summer of 2021, just recently. VIOLENT crimes hit the HIGHEST they have ever been in 2021. Keep in mind two things: Journalism is always PIT (point in time). Secondly, it's a function of what gets reported. I read where 14% of police force (average) have either early retired or resigned this year due to the BS they've had to put up with. So less arrests in some cites, equals less reported, simply because they can't address it all. But in their words, it's increasing. Just though these facts below might help, for anyone interested in this subject. Anyway, appreciate the original post.

It's like being a voyeur jacking off to something you should not be able to see. Also you can find out if they escort without the embarrassment of being turned down and outed.

It's the deal with the devil these non-celebrity girls make. Are you okay with people you personally know, knowing what you look like naked, and potentially have these photos of you at their fingertips to bust a nut over? They're the main client base, not the one or two strangers that happened to have come across your page, pun intented.

Also: Thanks, Bam, for putting a post in this thread that did not include the words "Biden" or "Trump".

I am cross-posting this from the Escort thread to get additional perspectives.
I do some small business consulting and take a professional interest in how these things work. I have chatted with some women who are successful on OF. I typically catch them when they visit a sugar site trying to generate interest in their OF page. There are women in our area making $2-10 K+ per month with it. As with a lot of things, there is a power curve at work with a small percent of the women making the vast bulk of the money. However, these were not women who left an escort site. It is usually women who started in the cam world. Or who join OF as an alternative to being a sugar baby. Some of migrated from trying to do something similar on IG. The ones who earn the most are usually the ones who look the best.
The ones who are good at OF treat it as a job. They are putting in 5-6 hours a day, or more, creating and posting content. They also have to work their SM sites daily like a trapper working his trap lines. They need to post teaser content and cajole people in their DM's to give it a try. They lure men from Tinder to IG to Twitter and then to OF. They need a presence on Snap, Tinder, Twitter, IG and sometimes a few others like ManyVids. They have to post on OF about three times a day and they have to check frequently for special requests. They watch the sites of other women looking for ideas for new content. Most guys have no idea how hard it is to come up with fresh ideas, new costumes and new activity to avoid repetition.
The math is not as easy as some people make it sound. At a $20 subscription price, they need 100 steady customers to make $2 K. That's before the site takes its 20% cut. However, those men are fickle. Some are always leaving and new ones must be added. They can supplement the subscriptions by taking special requests but those take a lot of time that cannot be leveraged with the other subscribers. In short, OF is a business and takes an entrepreneurial spirit and approach to make money doing it. People who say OF has reduced the supply of other sex workers have to assume that these same women have the drive, energy, ambition and organizational skill to pull it off. I am skeptical.
BAM.

That type of nonsense is what lost me with the party. And here's a fact, I'm not a left wing. Far from it.

Example: Benghazi. That was just a GOP fantasy porno. But they spent 4 years, using 9 (Nine!) committees, at one point interrogating Hillary Clinton for 24 hours, and found bupkus. Zero. Zilch. Nada, a big ol' fat goose egg.
So, please explain, (and I am just copying here) " the difference in kill in action an murdered by working with terrorist".
