You sound like a 15 year old girl

I think a lot of the time people say things but don't actually really stick by what they're saying. Especially with women. They'll say really stupid things like that and a few days later they'll do something that contradicts that thing entirely

> some people will like you and most won't

No way dude. If most people dislike you there's something else wrong, probably the way you act.

> short guys looking for girlfriends

> All the "normal" people

Lol thanks. I used to have self-confidence issues because I'm short. Spent a lot of time at university feeling sorry for myself, unable to make friends or see myself as worthy of a girlfriend.

Eventually realised that it's mostly in my head. I got over my self-esteem issues, went out and spoke to a stranger (ikr isn't that crazy?!) and he became my best friend. We travelled a bit and I met a whole bunch of girls who really liked me (at parties, on campus, etc). Life basically finds ways to disprove every dumb assumption you have, in my experience.

That was a couple years ago. Pandemic put my social life on pause.

I think the "go to dance lessons" advice is so dumb because it just means all the people who are at dance lessons are looking for something other than to learn to dance.

My advice is go to bar or a club and dance with strangers (where everybody is there to have fun and mingle). Go alone, YOLO. Also, if you don't live in a city, move to a city.

Go to a different country. You're probably rich lol you have nothing to worry about.

Good luck

People will forget this ever happened in a couple weeks. By then, they'll be angry about something new.

The old models won't use new platforms because it's so much easier to just stay on OnlyFans. They already chose the easiest career path with the most short-term gain, I don't see how they're suddenly going to start thinking long-term. I don't think these people think long-term at all, if they did they probably wouldn't do this.

Soon enough, new models will be joining without any knowledge that this ever happened. It'll get memory-holed in weeks.

I wonder how this will affect internet culture as a whole. What will the sex workers do now? There can only be so many successful bathtub streams on Twitch

Belle Delphine makes a million dollars a month. They're definitely rich. Also, they have power over men, which is how they get rich.
