How do I make this statement without sounding entitled or offensive, because some men and even some ladies have a different take on such things?
Ummmm......bartering is a controlled trade and receiving goods for my time is just not quite the same as receiving cold hard cash. Money ......is sexy, dirty and powerful. I love money almost as much as sharing my time, or maybe they are neck and neck at times. LOL Everyone loves money, no one says it though. It sounds greedy or something and we are taught it's in poor taste to discuss such things, and to some extent, I agree. If that makes me a gold digger, then hey, I'm a friggin' gold digger! I still feel it's no one's biz to ask or be concerned with another person's money, because of jealousy and envy and those trying to cheat others out of theirs or even opportunities to gather more.
It's very personal....this love for money. LOL But, I love money! I'd be lying if I indicated otherwise. I love spending time with gents too! Car repairs, furniture, etc...... are not quite the same thing, even if she decides to spend her precious money on what it is being bartered. There's just a "tit for tat" attitude I have in this biz. I have my time offered to gents for money, not food, clothes, car repairs, etc..... Some don't mind, but I finally figured out why I wouldn't like to and just say no thank you, and there it is. LOL Don't get me wrong, I can also have a good time with a gent without getting paid, but I can accept money without having a good time as well. LOL It's all good in the neighborhood. Ya know?
