.a hobbyist who decides to turn a girl out or "mentor" her is doing it for his own gain whether he realizes it or not. At some point the lady is going to feel indebted to him and feel that she needs to give him something for what he's done for her. Originally Posted by MsElenaUmm, right. OK.

You get a girl you can do doubles with that increases your income.
Bottom line is this. Get off your high horse. You have consistently stated that when a guy helps a girl, he's taking advantage of her. Simple economics lesson honey, NO ONE does something for free. It's the "invisible hand" concept that is the basis of our free market economy. It's been proven that even when someone gives to charity, the are getting something for the effort, even if it was only a warm and fuzzy feeling. So your belief that you asked for, and got nothing, in return is false. And your stance that a guy is always taking advantage of a girl is, again, also false.
And don't even get me started about "just come out and say it" and not hint. You and a few others have been hinting at me for weeks about this topic, even though I haven't even been around. It's obvious you've got your opinions and I have mine. Not likely either of us are going to change. But don't make backhanded comments and then pretend you're innocent, 'cuz innocent you ain't.
