something that can't be purchased.

 

That rings true to me. Cute girl, is there something you are missing from your life that cannot be, authenticly, purchased?

Cutegirl, I wholeheartedly support your style of living, your consumerism and your defining yourself as reflected in the opinions of others.

 

You've held your ground as you've been tag teamed for the "sins" of middlebrow, new age pop psychology. You're values noncomformity is refreshing in this age of enlightenment.

 

I also detect a whiff of classism and condescension in the welter of "why can't you be authentic and nonmaterialistic like me" posts. Please.

 

 

Thank you. I cannot stand patronizing people who always spout off things like "Why can't you be non-materialistic like me", etc as if THEIR way were the ONLY way.

 

I like to be materialistic and I like to be non-conformist... and I like excess.

Materialism is not non-conformist.

Apparently it is from what I've read on here. The majority here feels that wearing designer handbags for the sake of status and indulging in status symbols for the sheer sake of prestige is not acceptable. They consider it "disgusting" and "nouveaux riche".

 

Therefore I'm being a non-conformist by publicly admitting to care deeply about status and prestige.

So apparently I am not the ONLY one who cares about what others think. A lot of people do.

 

Then a lot of people are EXTREMELY insecure. I present myself as I am. If people like it that's nice. If people don't like it then it just might say more about them than it does about me.

 

It's always pleasant to be liked or well-regarded but it will never be universal. Part of growing up is being secure and comfortable in your own skin.

I think cutegirl has the right to decide that money and status are important to her. Just because a lot of people don't find those things important doesn't mean thats wrong for her. If she is happy about it, I don't see any problem. Some people are more materialistic than others whether its the way they were raised, or just a personal choice.

 

This is off topic, but I'm more and more interested in what cutegirl does and how she got into it. I don't see anything wrong with the industry and I am intrigued by the concept of someone making 6 figures while working from home for only a few hours per day. My father does that, but he happens to be a talented designer. So I'm intrigued that someone can pull in that kind of money just by managing porn or whatever. Again I know I'm way off topic, but I'm genuinely interested and may even consider this as a career option, cutegirl would you be willing to elaborate on it a little bit?

Ha ha! Thanks, Curm. I thought this thread would give the perfect opportunity to practice my French a little. I'm getting a little rusty.;)

 

Ok, back on topic. Cutegirl, didn't you wonder once if your b/f just wanted you for your money? So it seems you can't win. You only want poor guys but then you wonder if they want you for your money?

 

I'm sorry to say that you will have trouble finding and keeping a good man until you really re-think some of your positions about men and money.

 

Also, you state that you really care what others think. That strikes me as kind of odd since most people seem to think that being materialistic and superficial is NOT a good thing. And you admit that you're those things.

 

And how can one be a non-conformist (as you claim) and still care about what others think? I'm not sure how that works exactly.

 

And I agree that if you're happy, that's great. But you don't sound that happy to me. Maybe I'm wrong.

 

Curm is right. One of the very best parts of growing up for me has been the fact that I don't really live my life for anyone other than myself and my family (H and son.) I have no interest in what others think about me. I really don't. And it's quite a liberating feeling because I wasn't always that way.

 

I hope you find out one day what that feels like. And no amount of money can buy that feeling.

I don't think the responses here are typical of the general population of the US, especially in OC. You're just another one of the OC herd obsessed with money, status, and possesions. If you're happy with it, fine (even though you don't seem to be), but you are just conforming.

Just do a search in google for "adult affiliate programs".

 

The way I came across it was when I got my first pc many years ago I came across some porn sites and clicked the "webmaster" link. I was intrigued to find out that you could make money on-line, and once I got a sale for $35 I knew I could make a lot more.

 

When I first started out I didn't work a few hours a day, I basically worked all day. I only work a few hours now because I already have a lot of web pages out there that are already generating income.

 

There's different techniques you can have. Some people like to buy Google Adwords, some people buy traffic, some people have huge sites with bookmarkers, some people submit galleries, some people spam search engines, some people do opt-in e-mail, some people do viral marketing now (like advertising through P2P networks), I guess the new hot thing now is using Youtube style sites to advertise.

 

I don't really want to go into it because I don't need more competition. The less people competing with me the better. One more person in the business is another person I have to compete with.

 

There's webmaster forums you can find that will help you out or resource sites.

That's just it. She doesn't sound happy at all.

 

In fact, she sounds pretty darned miserable that everyone isn't as status conscious and therefore doesn't even notice her status items, or if they do, she imagines they are assuming her rich daddy or bf or husband bought them for her.

 

cutegirl, if you need the validation, you have to find people who value the same things you do, the ones who see your bag and would go oooooh.

 

LS may not the be the place to get the validation you seek, because many here don't care, the freeway at rush hour is not likely the place because the only assumptions people make is that every other driver but themselves is an idiotic moron who should have their licenses taken away.

 

Try Rodeo Drive or the mall. Lots of materialistic people to envy your possessions there.

I only care about what people think in terms of physical appearance (my looks), money, and status.

 

I don't care if they think that being superficial is not a good thing.

 

So I guess I don't care about EVERYTHING that others may think about, just certain aspects of it.

Then you want relationships with people who only care about your looks, money and status? Is that what your saying makes you happy?

 

Why not invest in a good mirror?

Oh, ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me, CG.

Cg, I appreciate you elaborating on that despite the fact that I may end up being the competition...:cool:

 

Honestly I probably won't though. I am just throwing around ideas about ways to make some quick side money. My parents support me financially but they always want me to have a job so I will learn the value of hard work and the dollar. Since I'm in college I seem to only be able to get minimum wage jobs.. movie ticket taker, pizza delivery, photomat ect. The problem with that is I'm apathetic and I don't like dealing with the public. If I could show my parents that I could make money without having that kind of job, maybe they would change thier opinion that I have to get out there and work hard to learn the value of the dollar.

 

I'm into graphic art and I have actually gotten some comissions (to my surprise lol), but it just isn't adding up to anywhere near enough money for my parents to think its a real job.

 

Anyway on the topic I agree with whomever said that only 7 digits is something to raise an eyebrow at anymore. Actually where I live 1 mil is probably close to the average.

More money. :laugh:

 

It's funny you say that, because I literally saw that coming a mile away.

 

I'm actually inclined to agree with Herzen here. Congratulations on your power and wealth, and if you make that money by doing nothing at all... God bless you woman. I can imagine it is a great feeling to have a man metaphorically "Under your thumb" in a relationship. Maybe it's a good opportunity for a lifelong payback or something.

 

But with your comment here, I would just caution you to know your limits. If your constant measure of happiness and accomplishment always lies in "the next step", you'll never really enjoy what you have. You talk about enjoying having money and having the power that gives you, but you are likely just as stressed out by the fact that you don't have more.

 

The one cosmic disappointment I have with the people I have been in relationships with is that I just cannot believe how few people are happy NOW. No one seems to be able to stop, take a breath, look around at their home, children, SO, dog, whatever, and say, "You know, I'm really happy right now." Instead, it's always about that one more thing cementing your happiness. Unfortunately, those things will continue to be accomplished but the happiness will never get any closer.

 

Damn I'm depressed. Is there anyone out there that can just be happy "right now" or do I have to change my perception of the world?

I never said I wanted a relationship with those people and I never said I didn't want a relationship with those people. You ASSUMED that.

 

I am not looking for any type of "relationship" with these people, I am just saying I am competitive in these aspects and that my image in terms of looks, money and status matter to me.

How does a person assume when asking a question? And I thought nittygritty ask a pretty good one.

So what kind of person are you looking for in a relationship? You've said want people to respect your looks, money, and possessions. Do you want a bf who respects those things and has the same type of values as you? Or do you want different values in a bf?

The #1 quality I look for in a guy is someone WHO DOESN'T CHEAT.

 

I don't care if they are unemployed, 25 and still living at home, I don't care if they are materialistic, I don't care if they are humble, I don't care if they have the same values about money and possessions, only the same values about FAITHFULNESS and not CHEATING.

 

The most important thing for me is someone who doesn't cheat. Other than that, everything else I can work with.

Right. He wasn't assuming anything, he was asking you a question.

 

And the question remains - what do you want a potential SO to value? The same things you do, or different things?

If nothing else other than fidelity matters, why don't you just buy a blowup doll? I'm not trying to be cute here, I'm being serious. Don't you care about the person's values, personality, character? Or is all you want is a penis that won't stray?

It doesn't matter if they value money or prestige, I could care less. Just because I value those things does not mean my SO has to be the same. I don't care if he has different political opinions or if we are different in many ways.

 

The #1 thing I care about is being faithful, not seeing hookers and prostitutes behind my back and not being abusive.

I do care, what I said is that their values don't have to be the same as mine. I can get along with a guy easily even if their values are different than mine, I might seem difficult to get along with but I'm not really.

 

It's not a dealbreaker for me if the guy cares about money or not. Those are small things that can be worked out.

 

What I'm saying is that I'm not picky in terms of a SO. I am not demanding and don't really have any dealbreakers. I can put up with a lot of stuff.
