Doing It Like A Professional
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In a society that rewards morally questionable behavior, it is not all that shocking to see the results of a recent survey that says among 435 individuals surveyed,27 percent of men and 14 percent of women were willing to trade favors or gifts for sex.. That’s right, in college, when you are supposed to be broke, getting a few things through the so called “socioeconomic currency system” is a real option for them.
The reality is that mixing business for some pleasure happens on the dating scene too. I know men and women that “barter” their looks or bodies in exchange for all kinds of perks, gifts, jewelry, etc. I have also seen this play out in the workplace.
Have you ever used your looks or your body to get ahead at work?
Have you ever bartered sex for services or material things? Did it ever make you feel uncomfortable? What do you think are the pros and cons of this type of arrangement?
What do you think about the socioeconomic currency system on the dating scene? Is it a minefield for drama and bad karma? Or do you think that all is fair in sex and bartering?

Good Morning

Good rainy morning Good People, I know men and women that “barter” their looks or bodies in exchange for all kinds of perks, gifts, jewelry, etc. I’m going into left field here-isn’t that the same as getting all dolled and go to the bar/club and accepting drinks/food?

MIL I think that only applies when your intent is to get dolled up going to a bar/club for the sole purpose of getting someone to buy you drinks or food. When I go out, my intent is to have a good time, let my hair down, and possibly meet someone i’d be interested enough in getting to know better outside of the bar/club or whatever venue i’m in at the time. Cause more often than not, I end up buying 98% of my own drinks.

WiseD I had a discussion with my friend girls I guess about a year or so ago and we were talking about the cost of sex these days. What we were discussing is totally different from what you are talking however it was somewhat the same.
We debated the issue of the cost being emotional all the way down to material for some. The conversation started when I stated we all pay in some way or the other. It was quite interesting and informative to say the least hearing how other women view the price of sex.
Rather than go into that, I am going to see where this discussion goes.

2C i’m just keeping it real. I’ve heard plenty of chicks show boating on what dude done paid this bill or bought her this or whatever, but they don’t go advertising what they did for Him. There are some that’ll put it off on merely the dude being sprung but i’m willing to bet they lickin dookie chutes, gargling & swallowin.
I will agree with Raqi that the trade off for sex is not always monetary or materialist. I’d say that a lot of it is an emotional trade off. I can speak for myself that I had an issue with that after my tragic past events that i’ve briefly described on here in the past.(molested & raped) The situation had me flucked up, wires crossed in the head…so I went through a period where i felt guilty if i didn’t mess around with a certain person I was with. (thanks goodness I didn’t get buck wild with it but I felt that if a dude wasn’t trying to get some that I didn’t feel valuable)
So with our young girls today, I think they are searching for validation ..trading sexual favors to feel wanted, needed, special etc.
raqi I didn’t get too deep too early did I? lol

Morning everybody!
Have you ever used your looks or your body to get ahead at work?
Have you ever bartered sex for services or material things?
No, no, no! A thousand times, NO! I am so totally against this. I do think it brings bad karma, and I believe a have a brain and marketable skills that make it completely unneccesary. I’ve always dressed like a complete L7 at work anyway, just so folks won’t focus on the exterior.
Of course, being from L.A. I have acquantences that barter and make it like an artform! I’ve also seen the ones that got put in bad situations because of it. Just made me all the more firm in my decision.

2C It reminds of a special I saw on one of those news shows like 60 minutes or something. But it was in Thailand and they had young girls..as young as 4 to 5 that were being pimped. They’d ask you if you wanted Yum Yum…sad.
But then you have the gold diggin O’s that tell you they were taught to use what you have to get what you got. I know of a chick right now that doesn’t pay her rent or bills, doesn’t have a job but always out somewhere. She got some overweight dude paying all her bills and he has a key to the apartment she lives in. So I guess whenever he decides to stop by, she gotta do what she gotta do. This chick hasn’t had a job in over 8 years and she like 40+ years old. I don’t know if you’ve ever watched Pimps Up, O’s Down, a documentary on HBO about prostitutes…but they had a few chicks that on there that claimed they were going to retire or ‘get out the game’ on the first show, but when they went to revisit years later, were still doing it…looking old azz hayo, washed up, and cracked out. One chick didn’t even have no top teeth. It takes a special person to fluck & suck random dudes like that.
Is it just me…but I be wondering what the hayo they stuff smell like…can’t be good…definitely can’t be good.

Hello All,
Greetings to you Wisey, I know, it’s been a long minute since I have dipped in on the blog.
Well, to answer the questions, YES and NO. Yes, I have been the receipent of some good loving and picked up a small trinket for Mr. X (a CD, coffe mug, etc). I have also received small tokens after a night/weekend of slaying.
I would not call it bartering, it’s more like appreciation/thoughtfulness. These tokens were never expected by either party, just random parting gifts.
I would also say that their was type of history, some sort of relationship going on, just not sex with random men, no co-workers.
No, I have never used my body or looks to get head at work.

The statistics associated with the topic clearly state that 27% of men and 14% of women otherwise not classified as such are hoes. Period. It’s just a matter of how much they cost.
Is it just me, or does Michelle Obama look way too much like RuPaul? I swear, she and Hillary both look like men in drag; something they have in common, I suppose. Mrs. Obama is better dressed than RuPaul is, at least.

No, I’ve never bartered for sex. I do understand what you’re saying MLL, and I think that’s sad. I’m with you SlimOne, I go out to have fun not barter my body, looks for drinks or food. That’s funny! Also, sorry you had to go through what you went through, but thankful you found yourself on the “other side of thru”!
And for you Silky Smooth, stay away from those young girls. There’s enuf pressure on them then to be approached by some toothless old pimp with old lines!!!

Good morning. Neva eva have I used my body or bartered sexual favors for anything. It never works like the future victim (that what they become) intends. Sooner than later her or his (yes, I’ve seen men do it too) skills and abilities come into play. That’s when someone above both of them calls them to the carpet. I’m not the smartest girl nor the prettiest (in my head I’m a queen), but I’ve seen the stuff end badly everytime from my teens when girls would sleep with the manager for days off, to women in the corporate environment who thinks that is the tried and true way of taking short cuts to get ahead only to be branded amongst their peers and get no respect in the end. Some even label it as hustlin’ like it’s something to be proud of.

Try as I might, I cannot do this! Oh wait…I’ve not tried. Thinkin those who can have found a way to compartmentalize sex as a function of the body separate from other needs requiring feeding. Usually as a defense mechanism or a way to erroneously measure their worth. The fallacy obviously being in tryin to equivocate material things given to amount of esteem s/he holds for you regardless of the lack for self.
If she can’t just see your boxer briefs w/ her panties, maybe raise you a lacey bra without you having to go all in on a car note, electric bill or kids daycare, just fold, man! What y’all are willing to give should be fairly equal or else just sit yo lil hot behind down somewhere…

I remember I was in the Bahamas with my ex and his family. His sister and I went to the casino one night to sit at the bar to have drinks and chat with the locals. On the way back to our hotel, we’re standing outside just talking when these two dudes come up asking if we had anything for sale. WTF??!! I was like excuse me? Buddy actually repeated himself. I guess my laughing at me pointing at him like, do you believe this prick…he goes…well, do you know where we can get some for sale. That was a definite first and hope to be last to get approached like that. Had me looking at myself like, do i look like a ‘tute’. We should’ve went back to their room and robbed their azzez.
AtlLady I recall my first job I worked at Kroger in Conyers as a cashier. One of the managers used to try to come on to me and get me to go out with him AND he was married. (mind you I was only 15/16 and was probably double my age) I didn’t go there but the fact that he was nonchalant about it, he had to have done that before.

Let’s not gloss over this,
An out and out barter (money for sex) is one thing, but it’s that same calculus at play when a guy takes a girl out?
Isn’t her “value” tied into Chops vs. McDonald’s? Isn’t her “value” tied into sex? Isn’t the root of all our disagreements in this forum some [per]version of this very topic?

It was only a matter of time:
Police Reportedly Break Up A Plot To Kill Obama August 26th, 2008 Three suspects were arrested, and guns, bullet-proof vests and drugs were seized. At least three Colorado men, possibly four, have been arrested with rifles, bullet-proof vest, walkie-talkies and camouflage clothes in an alleged plot to kill Sen. Barack Obama, according to reports from news media and law-enforcement agencies. TV station CBS4 reports that the suspects planned to shoot Obama in Denver during his acceptance speech. One suspect was nabbed in Aurora on Sunday, after being stopped by police for swerving in traffic in a rented pickup truck, reports say. Get more details on the plot at BET.com/News.

Get out your rain coats folks.
Every one of you that have ever been in a relationship has bartered what you have for what you want. Thats exactly what a relationship is, a swapping of gifts. A guy provides security (aka money) for comfort (aka azz). It’s been that way since the 1st bruh got an erection and will continue to be so.
Ask any housewife what would happen when she stops skinning. Her resources start dissappearing. Same for a girlfriend/boyfriend or whatever. Ho’ing has always been alive and well. Some folks just don’t ask for much because they don’t feel they have much to offer. Hence the creation of the $2 hoe. LOL
What did you think someone really liked you just because? Hell no, you had something they wanted, whatever that may be.

Back when I used to move around a lot and apartment search, there were always “deals” on that site with guys offering free rent in their homes in exchange for “benefits.”
One time, I ran across this ad for a great room in a great neighborhood in Oakland. Turned out the terms of the deal were to be available to “play” with this couple that swings!
I bet someone eventually took them up on that offer tho. Good housing in the bay area is impossible to come by!

That happened to me too in the Bahamas. I was on one of my by-myself trips and sitting at the outdoor restaurant at the bar watching TV and two guys (white) came up to me and asked me if I was the “fun type”. It took me a while to realize what they meant, but once I did, they got harshly corrected. Both of them apologized and one was extremely apologetic and said that the other one had too much to drink. So, yeah, that was a first. And until you said something, I had forgotten all about it.

SlimO one of the things we talked about is the ease and desire to please the man that takes care of home. Just like most real men don’t feel financially slighted when his woman comes right. And I am not talking about manipulation but mutual bounty.
Just like a man ain’t rushing home to part with his funds with a woman that denies him, I will not be rushing home to lie under a man that does not take care of home.

Everyone expects some benefit from every action they take. Even if it is just to feel good about oneself. That is what compels us to create, endure and mover forward. What we as humans call progress and morals are just more complex ways of doing the same thing, eventually getting (or at least trying to get) what we want whether it be material or emotional. So we all sell it each and every day Think about it and it’s hard to deny.

Regal? Gorgeous? I take that as testimony that men and women have completely different perspectives on what is attractive in a woman. Probably the same goes for what is attractive in a man, although I speculate that there are far fewer men that look like a woman in men’s clothes as compared to women that looks like a man in drag.
There will be more more assasination plots and attempts on Obama, especially if he gets elected. McCain, he’ll just drop dead from old age. That’s why the VP choices are so important, and frankly, Biden was an extremely poor choice.

Everyone barters when it comes to dating. The difference is some negotiate better than others. Sometimes it seems one party is doing the other party a serious favor, if you know what I mean.
On another note, if you don’t like M. Obama, you’re probably not tall enough to ride that ride.

But lotsa 80s babies and one or two 90s (yikes!) have asked to be taught a lesson.
Dan One thing I’ve come to accept is how determined most guys seem to be on insisting there’s black, there’s white, but no gray. Add to that how many of y’all can point out traits in women you swear you can’t see in yourselves - like us reading too far into things- and I can only say “God Bless ya.” There are like a thousand miles between McDowell’s :) and Chops. But even those are look at for ulterior motives or as meriting recompense see past dust ups over Red Lobster & PF Changs. Some of y’all are just crazy mofos wanting to fuss too. If she wanna hit the diner ‘you think I can’t afford a decent meal?’ If she want McCormick & Schmick’s ‘you tryna break me?’ Lawd, maybe those are just where her favorite burger or crabcake is made.

First off, I’m not Robert Kelly.
Studies have shown the many men that go after young kitty do it because of the belief that she is clean and pure. It boils down to the thought of a woman being used goods.
In general, most men don’t like to know that their woman has a sexual past. (It goes with the thought of who wants a h0.)

The 10:39 was not this Dan.
@Slim
I’m not ascribing any characteristic traits to one’s motive, I’m merely assessing the basic premise.
Is her value (and for that matter his) assessed in where [they] eat, what [they] do, and when {the process} of intimacy begins?
WD made it very clear yesterday that she makes the choices about who get to taadaazzup.
And respect due, but at the heart of declarations like that is the thought that “I am worth X”.
I am worth your time; I am worth your attention; I am worth more than a piece of azz.
In the same vein, men have the same thought: I am worth more than what I can provide; I am worth more than my job, I am worth more than just taadaazup.

Ladies and Gentleman
Let’s be real…You have never had your back blown out soooo good that you just happened to out shopping for yourself and suddenly you find yourself migrating to the men’s department. You find yourself looking for a small token for “Mr. Magic”, just because. In your mind, you are careful not to spend too much cause you don’t want to send the wrong message, “I’m going to take care of you.” or let him know “he was working the “Magic Stick” the other night.” Most of all we may not want him to think he “got it like that.” So you pick up a little “sometin’ sometin.
Men, you have been with a lady that seems have a “little something” different. Something a little fresher, newer or she gives a good feeling, not just sex but a little something different. You can’t really describe it, but you like it. So you might wanna pick her up a little something. Nothing that says, “we go together” but just something thoughtful.
Mind you, the recipient is not some RANDOM person. Maybe it’s after the first time you were intimate, after a very good date or just whatever. You present the token without really expecting anything in return. It’s a just because gift. I’m not talking about diamonds, car note money, shoes, suits. I could as simple as his/her favorite candy bar, a DVD they’ve been wanting, a CD you’ll talked about. We all do it….and it’s OK.

Atl Lady actually it used to be worse. Before you had to have a DEFINITE benefit to make that thing worth it. Times were hard and a mate had to have perks. Even the families chipped in to pay the local ho’ing rates. May of been 2 goats or a sheep but the price had to be paid, upfront. Now we’re willing to bet the house on a “feeling” in our chest that may or may not be gas. I can do more with perks than a woozy feeling.
Even further, its not a chick or dude in this room that hasn’t outright gave it up for some “companionship” or not to be lonely or just plain horny.
Slimgina those cats heading over there for the baby booty are looking for the power, not sex. They could get that here. Some cats look their whole life to feel powerful, and the only person they can dominate is a child. A dude like that would never be happy with a woman because they’d both know how weak he is.
Melo I didn’t know you were putrid maladorous. I’m hurt you didn’t tell me. LOL
If the assasins got caught they were mere amateurs. nothing to worry about. The big boys are gonna pay a real top notch dude and he won’t get caught, at least not before.
Michelle looks like a chick you could have knocked off after a barbeque. She has a sharp mind though and can handle that madness. I give her props for looking down the barrel she’s facing. Everyone is looking for something to pull out on her to discredit Obama. So far she’s bulletproof.

I grew up with talk black women in my family. My mom is 6’2”. Both of my grandmas were at least 5’ 10’. So Michelle looked nothing like a man to me.

Michelle is 5’ 10” 3/4 inches tall. She is
So speak for yourself man.
Personally, I thought your earlier statement was the most ignorant statement from a person who usually is better than that. Women come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and attitudes. There is no one picture of a woman. Each man has his own. We may have similar pictures, but not the same. To compare her to man in drag is just down right wrong. In my eyes, that is an afront to my mom and grandma if your definition of a woman isn’t as such. Just wrong plain wrong.

A young boy went to his father and asked,’What’s the difference between Potentially and Realistically?
The father answered, ‘Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Denzel Washington for one million dollars. Then go ask your sister if she would sleep with Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs for one million dollars. Then come back and tell me what you have learned.
So the boy went to his mother and asked, ‘Would you sleep with Denzel Washington for one million dollars?’ The mother replied, ‘Of course I would. I wouldn’t pass up an opportunity like that!’ Then the boy went to his sister and asked, ‘Would you sleep with Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs for one million dollars?’ The girl replied, ‘Oh my gosh! I’d be nuts to pass that up!’
The boy thought about it and went back to his dad. His father asked him if he’d found out the difference between ‘potentially and realistically.’ The boy replied, ‘Yes. ‘Potentially’ we’re sitting on two million dollars, but ‘realistically’ we’re living with two ho’s!

ABC I disagree. I think what America wants is a first lady who isn’t a media hound with an agenda like Hillary. Don’t get me wrong I like Hillary and respect her a lot, but she thought being feminen (sp) was a draw back to what she wanted to accomplish. She didn’t want to do what other women did in her capacity which was talk to the wives of the husbands in power and have them change their husbands points of view. How do you think Tipper Gore got the now infamous Parental Advisory placed on music? She wanted to take men on, on their turf, and get it done that way. Thus the arise of her infamous pants suits and show no emotions other than anger. That’s how I knew that tear dropping mess during the primaries was a croc. There’s more than one way to skin a cat.

Comparing her to a man is still wrong. Dead wrong. Period point blank. You compared her to a man in drag. You mentioned nothing of her makeup.
Once again, people (women are included) come in different shapes, sizes, colors and attitudes.
You are just prejudging her based on appearance, and it is wrong.
BTW, you don’t speak for all of America.
I don’t know if I am for Obama or not, right now. I am more of a Libertarian kind of guy, but Barr’s chances of winning are slim. Those PUMAs have cemented my disdain for the Democrats, but if Mcain is the best that the elephants can offer they aren’t very good either.

Man, I never watch news on television. I don’t even really know who Sean Hannity is or what he looks like. TV news is next to worthless and tends to obscure political news more than disseminate any worthwhile information.
Seems to me the Democratic Convention is nothing but pandering to the TV talking heads, who in turn fabricate the next news rotation’s pointless drivel.
It’s like you all have a crush on Michelle Obama or something. What’s up with that? All the talk about jacked up grilles around here, I suppose you haven’t noticed her lack of orthodontic care? Not to say that’s all that bad, but it does tend to accentuate her rather long face and masculine jaw, though. What about that adam’s apple? At least she lost the Condi hairdo. Just sayin.

Melo I have to give you props for that one. Even Obama said, do you see why I kept asking her out. She was smart, focused, and accomplished. She didn’t hesitate to call him out on the fact that he was late for work and she had the strength to tell his a$$ no multiple times and continue on the path she felt she was called to do and he loved the hell out of it!!!

I’m not a Republican. The candidates wives have absolutely nothing to do with who I would vote for. I don’t expect that I’ll pay much attention to what Michelle Obama has to say, because she isn’t running for President, and anyone that votes for Barack on account of her should have their right to vote revoked. Chick resembles RuPaul, and if you don’t think so, then fine.
I don’t expect my grandfather gave a flip about Lady Bird Johnson, either. He voted for LBJ because of endorsement of the Equal Rights Amendment, something that mattered. Michelle Obama doesn’t matter — I hope, Hilary mattered as First Lady, but in a bad way. Get real.

PG Your 11:09 (and subsequents) are on point! It’s plain ignorant to hop on here and bash a woman and all based on the physical at that. I think she’s a woman of substance, decorum and class.
ABC Typically your posts are quite insightful, some argumentative and a bit jaded but most times above the rift raft. What the heck does your attack on her person have to do with how much makeup she’s wearing? I don’t think you could go any more ignorant than that post, even your general “all women should be doubted” tirades don’t quite sink to that level. Michelle seems to be quite capable of carrying her own. Not her own my by standards or yours or anyone elses but her own. That speaks volume IMHO. Maybe you need a lesson in classy women 101.

Surprisingly on topic.
Subject: engagement rings
There was another factor in the surge of engagement ring sales—one that makes the ring’s role as collateral in the premarital economy more evident. Until the 1930s, a woman jilted by her fiance could sue for financial compensation for “damage” to her reputation under what was known as the “Breach of Promise to Marry” action. As courts began to abolish such actions, diamond ring sales rose in response to a need for a symbol of financial commitment from the groom, argues the legal scholar Margaret Brinig—noting, crucially, that ring sales began to rise a few years before the De Beers campaign. To be marriageable at the time you needed to be a virgin, but, Brinig points out, a large percentage of women lost their virginity while engaged. So some structure of commitment was necessary to assure betrothed women that men weren’t just trying to get them into bed. The “Breach of Promise” action had helped prevent what society feared would be rampant seduce-and-abandon scenarios; in its lieu, the pricey engagement ring would do the same. (Implicitly, it would seem, a woman’s virginity was worth the price of a ring, and varied according to the status of her groom-to-be.)

But I’ll take the high road that all are human made by God and a perfect work I might add. It should matter, the outter appearance that is, when you’re supposedly a grown man that’s reached, lived and experience beyond the years of moronic youthfulness. But I won’t go there because then that would make me as hollow and shallow as you.

You know Amazon I just took it as being his opinion. Which is all that it is. LOL
Amen, Raqi, amen! I have slight amusement and wonderment over this still going, like his opinion is supposed to change just because he’s confronted with the contrary. LOL
And also, let’s diss Cindy McCain like that’s somehow better.

Yeah, I might like your credentials when you speak on business. So far I know:
You’re African
You’re actually African (from South Africa)
You’re a sex fiend
You’re a prevert (and yes, I spelled it right, because you actually have intent)
And
You’re gay.
Anything I’m missing?

Please reread my post to Melo.
“On the list” is simply that on the list. Melo referred to “trouble”.

I don’t watch it 2CPTG, but I don’t see why not as far as a basketball court goes. It’d be funny to see shots of the President playing a game of 1-on-1 with the British Prime Minister.
I was reading about how many houses have been flooded due to Tropical Storm Faye in Florida, most of them belonging to …John McCain.

Dan I read it sweetie. What you said was There are not 117 banks in trouble.
melo referred to “trouble” because the HEADLINE refers to trouble. See?? —-> FDIC: Troubled Banks Rise To 117, Most in Five Years. The first line of the article now on CNN Money states: More banks are in trouble than just three months ago according to the FDIC.
Now, if you want to amend your informed statement to fit the headlines from the FDIC today, that’s fine. But I don’t understand why you got on his case about something he quoted to the point where you’re calling him names. What’s up with that?
