    This happened to a girl I knew that tried to make some money on onlyfans during Covid lockdown. Only lasted 4 months, even though she was pretty attractive. I think guys just assume that as a girl, you can simply post nudes online and make money, while it actually does require consistent effort, marketing skills, and a bit of luck.

      There’s a bit on the Netflix Pornhub documentary from a camgirl. She notes that she does her own marketing, lighting, camera work, etc., and every once in a while, she masturbates on camera. It’s a real job with real effort.

      I know so many people trying to make it as streamers who cannot seem to understand that you have to do a lot of work to make anything catch on unless you are crazy lucky/extremely attractive. A regular person playing a game isn’t interesting for others and it takes energy for most to cultivate a following.

        My cousin dropped out of university after a few months, and wanted to be a pro gaming streamer instead.

        Oddly enough he never did achieve that, and now mostly sits around his parent’s house doing quite a lot of being depressed.

      I imagine it’s as easy to make money off of as YouTube or Twtich, almost impossible.

    Damn I remember this post from when I was on 4chan still. OP did provide links and his story was 100% true. The girl wasn’t ugly, just kinda plain but almost every pic of her somehow exuded despair, and that was honestly offputting (except for the kind of creeps who get off on that I reckon).

    Lil tiddy supermarket goth girl sounds cute tbh, or maybe I just have a type.

    Anyway, girls like this can be a real gem to find if you’re a gooner. Their small fan base means if you’re not a creep there’s a chance of genuine interaction. She’ll probably take request and if she likes you might even send you free content.

        Hence all the ifs. But hey, the competition isn’t fierce! Put the slightest effort into being self-aware, respectful, and charming and you can easily get her attention.

    Anon experiences empathy for once in their miserable life.
    One of the few legit greentexts. lol

    • Frankly, I’m glad she was spared the trouble. I can’t imagine they’d be able to offer words of encouragement without seeming intensely parasocial. A generic “you’re hot” wouldn’t have amounted to much. It doesn’t seem like there’s a correct answer, besides finding her irl, flashing her unlocked onlyfans, and begging for her socks

    The funny thing is that if this greentext linked this girl OnlyFans, she would gain tons of views just out of pity.

    Some of these would even stick around afterwards.

    There are a lot of people whod appreciate her features so its surprising she didnt get any attention. Maybe anon made up the story and is actually into men?

      Someone else in the comments said they were there and it’s actually real. Likely still into men though

    I know it’s probably fake, but I low key think this is the experience of most women, online or not. Men like to think women can just ring a bell and get dick and companionship, judging off of, like, the cream of the crop of women and their (apparent) track record. It’s not always that easy, especially if you aren’t attractive. A lot of men don’t fuck for personality.

    Obligatory not all men, yes there are shallow women, and yes it is also hard for men to find partners, and yes they have their own struggles and pressures that make their struggle unique to them.

      Right, but aren’t those girls in it for the attention? The thrill? Sounds like she’s not getting any attention, either.
