Is she self-empowered? Possibly.
Now before I blast off into my rant, let me clear something up. I have no problem with ladies who like gentleman to pay for their items, rent, bills, or body parts. Just don’t say you’re independent if you’re doing any of the above. Because you’re not. You’re roped in tighter than you’d like to think. So bring that nose down a bit…
The Sugar Daddy/Sugar Baby phenomenon is nothing new, especially not here in New York City. That shit is everywhere. In fact it’s a common solution to being broke or wanting to dress better. To get the bag, the shoes and the boobs.
And who the fuck doesn’t want a nice set of tits, (they’re fun!), a Prada bag and Louboutin wedges? Everybody wants that shit. We all just acquire it in different ways.
Now, what some people don’t realize, (or maybe they do and are just playing dumb), when someone buys you any of this shit, they have some sort of power over you. They can hold it over your head. Sure you can take off with material items, and maybe your tits, (unless they’re really twisted… American Psycho anyone?), but not your rent and bills. You don’t put out, bang or blow the old geezer, heh. Your rent isn’t getting paid. I guess if you look at it as a job, it can be seen as closer to independent, but if not… Forget it.
It’s not just funneling money out of some old guy’s pockets, there’s a price and a level of freedom that goes with it.
In my almost thirty years, no other person has bought me shit. I’ve payed for my own living expenses since I was 17 years old, bought my own tits and my designer wardrobe. And god fucking damn it, it’s a great feeling to do that sort of shit. Independence is Empowering!
Way better than having some other jackass pay for shit and hold it over your head, but hey, what turns my stomach lights somebody else’s fire, so to each there own.
All I’m saying is that you gotta keep your fist out of the air when Kelly Clarkston’s “Miss Independent” comes on the radio if you’re sucking dick for that nice loft in Soho. Not that you should want to fist pump to that song anyway…
But try out buying your own shit and providing for yourself if you haven’t already. It feels good. Put your own cash up and put your nose up. You’re ahead of the rest.
And no, I don’t have a nose job. So no emails in regards to what I’ve had done, thanks.
