The rise and normalisation of OnlyFans

Can't see it having a positive affect on society on the long run.

seems like it's already too late, downward trend surely for a few decades now.

I remember being a kid in the 80s and all the parents would sit on a wall watching us play, now I don't even know my neighbours names, I bet most people don't.

everyone become strangers, In some other countries they have local festivals once a year it seems.

When I was in switzerland the small city I lived in had loads of events/festivals throughout the year, Newcastle Upon Tyne seems to do nothing....
The local part of the city where I lived had a festival every year as well with beer tents, a few rides for the kids etc

everything ran by people in the community who volunteered to be barstaff etc.


I don't the UK really has any cultural stuff going on anymore, it's just work, work , work unless your a student.

The money cities should be spending on bringing people together seems to go on vanity projects, investments in stupid stuff like Newcastle Council has ownership stakes in some of the cities failing hotels.. why does the city need to own 60% of a hotel that doesn't make money? maybe if they spend those millions on events instead it might bring people to the city and allow the hotels to make money....


it's no wonder people aren't dating anymore our society is absolute garbage and is designed to keep you productive and working like a robot

Because the UK government only cares about London, nothing else.

Its the same in the Midlands, only good thing going them at the moment is the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Which really, not many people care about anyway.

This thread and the one about lonely men goes hand in hand

Indeed it does and its only increasing.

The type of guys who subscribe to OF are not just looking for a quick rub out; they receive so little attention in the real world that they are willing to pay for some false type of connection from a stranger.

Imagine in about a decade or so when they bring out some kind of Blade runner 2049 style A.I GF so many of these low status men will not even bother trying at all with women as that will be enough to give them the sense that someone actually cares for them.
 
Low income ugly etc they might be great human beings but in dating they do not have much to offer so will face tons of rejection in an increasingly superficial and shallow dating world.

They just need to dress a bit smarter and spray some deodorant according to a certain forum member.

well thats just a pleasant and incorrect view.
Yes the dating world is superficial and shallow, but people who dont meet that low income, ugly generalisation, also struggle really hard with it all.

shallow it may be but its at least true in part. yes you are right it isnt always roses and wine for decent people who happen to be physically attractive as well.

but if you are good looking and successful chances are you just are aiming high and you can always have a reconsideration on that if you want companionship.

if however you are not blessed with good looks, and have some issues which many consider a turn off, and already happy to date anyone regardless of looks being less choosy may not be an option.

for years in my earlier life i was in the friend zone of a few women i really liked.... and whilst i never said it too them, it was really frustrating after a while of being the shoulder to cry on when they dated always the same type of bloke who ultimately treated them like dirt (treat em mean, keep em keen before ultimately ditching them)............................ and you could see it coming a mile off. I would never have acted like that but they would not have considered dating me in a million years (i know i tried a few times)

its like the old addage money does not buy you happiness............. whilst technically it may be true, it does remove a huge amount of the barriers to happiness and makes the journey to a stress free happy life a lot easier.......

I agree with that, I think the piece I'm fixing on is the notion that it's being "normalised". I don't think prostitution will ever be normalised in our society. I also don't think it should be.

The great issue of OF 'creators' is that they don't see it as prostitution, some even argue that it's not even 'sex work'. Obviously they're in great denial.

OF is on it's way to killing Instagram too as it's now mainly subverted as an advertising channel for whore's and their Onlyfans/Fansly account, although they're careful not to directly link their account by using sites like LinkTree etc so IG's filters don't pick up on it & use phrases like "spicy page" or "private page". Some have even registered their own domains to get around the anti-porn link filters.

its not roses and wine for anyone unless you seem to be 25 and look like joey essex or jason momoa, then it dont matter if you are a drug addict living out of a garage, you'll get results.

actually for me.... roses and wine does not work.... pasties and beer would be a more apt metaphore.......... which may have explained my predicament at the time :D
 
Empowerment isn't selling yourself for money to men and women. It may create wealth, though I suspect only for the 1%, but I do fear that regret will be the main thing that comes from it later in life. When people live in a box of fakery it tends to come with delusion. Be it taking photos in a fake private jet, processing your face so it looks like 50 other faces in your domain or pretending that branding = wealth it doesn't matter, most are not what the portray or worse, not what they think.
