Why is that in any way depressing? Making others feel better via a personal connection is one of the most noble professions one can pursue.

It’s a lot more important than meaningless “influencer marketing” covert advertising that exists only to make people buy shit they don’t need.

The connection is fake. The men are desperate. The women are sleazy.

I'm with you on the first two parts but the third one is going to get you slammed here. Women who perform sex work are held in equal/high regard by the members of this community.

it's easy to signal by saying this but how many men who say this would actually want their sister / mom / daughter participating in any sort of sex work? it's both the oldest job and the oldest taboo for a reason
