It wouldn’t exist if gumps, not unlike many of us right here, right now, would stop giving our money to OF and online porn. Stop it. Get out there, learn some manners, take a goddam shower for once, and MEET live people.

u/Time_Eagle 5d ago

Get out there

I get out all the time!

learn some manners

I like to think I'm pretty polite.

take a goddamn shower for once

My hygiene is impeccable.

and MEET live people

Okay, you lost me.

u/sundancer2788 4d ago

I'm not interested in meeting live people either unless it for gaming. I do hike and cycle and that's enjoyable.

u/Pickledsoul 4d ago

I do hike and cycle and that's enjoyable

Ah so you've met lots of unlive people, then

2

u/sundancer2788 4d ago

Lol! Nah, just not a social person. I'm fine in social situations but I don't seek them out. Tbh I was fine during covid stay at home, enjoyed wfh! I never hung out with fellow employees after work, ate lunch by myself but had no issue chatting on breaks etc.

2

u/Pickledsoul 4d ago

Don't worry. Most dead people don't talk much. Just stay from retirement homes. The dead love talking there.

LOL I'm kidding. I'm in the same boat. I like being invited, but I'd never do anything outside home unless someone needed a +1.

u/sundancer2788 4d ago

Exactly!

u/dak-sm 5d ago

Eh - that sounds like a lot of work.

u/cocoon_eclosion_moth 5d ago

Right, a shower before I go out in public? Plus I have to meet people?!

5

u/Sindertone 4d ago

Just wait until it's raining to go out. Win win.

19

u/ThrowCarp 5d ago

This but unironically. I'm doing the whole meetup thing and the whole putting yourself out there thing.

It's one thing to meet people, and another to meet people you truly can get along with and become friends (let alone romantic partners).

u/tivmaSamvit 4d ago

Honestly I think everyone should pick colleges based on where they want to live. Not ideal

But man going from having too many texts to properly reply to in college to being alone mid to late 20’s in a new city is wild

Meetup and other events are cool but damn does that get exhausting after a full day of work

1

u/Thereapergengar 4d ago

This is why the USA needs a red district like they have then ranches in Nevada

u/Extreme-Rub-1379 5d ago

Just to crank it? Idk

1

u/Death_Rises 4d ago

CRANK THAT HOG!

6

u/SilverKnightOfMagic 5d ago

lol thats actually more expensive.

but then also there are ppl in relationship paying for only fans.

paying for porn isn't anything new. I like how ppl think it has that huge significant effect when there's other things at play

3

u/kaamkerr 4d ago

Most of these idiots are chatting with ai bots or a sweaty Indian man behind a keyboard

10

u/Right_Secret5888 5d ago

Don't even have to go that far. There are vast amounts of FREE online porn. Quit being a simp and paying for it.

11

u/irrigated_liver 5d ago

But if I spend enough money, the guy she pays to run the account and reply to her DMs might mention my username one day.

2

u/ActiveChairs 5d ago

There are hot local singles in your area....

1

u/Zanaxz 5d ago

It's easier than that, it's not like there isn't free porn out there in 2025

1

u/MrWeirdoFace 5d ago

By live people you mean like... flesh bags? eeeeeeeew.

1

u/earblah 5d ago

That's work!

And you risk getting rejected.

Gooncave never rejects you!

1

u/MannerBot 5d ago

Getting rejected aint all that bad

1

u/Yuji_shoyo 5d ago

Giving money to onlyfans model? It’s free here. Why waste your money there

1

u/KryptoChicken 4d ago

Meh, live people are overrated.

1

u/Thereapergengar 4d ago

What does meeting a living person have to do with wanting self pleasure when you want it??? Ppl like like just because you have a gf or bf or husband or wife, that sex is just a quick question away. When in reality it’s not.

1

u/Worried_Highway5 4d ago

Or just use free porn

1

u/Train3rRed88 4d ago

Or just… you know, enjoy the bountiful cornucopia of free porn out there

Like, are people so desperate for feet pics from specific people that they will pay money rather than jack off to the millions of free feet pics on google?

1

u/Slight-Recipe-3762 4d ago

I think the online dating shit is pathetic. People have such high expectations. At least the gays have it right. Grindr has it alright gays do everything better. Apps, Neighborhoods, cocktails and parades.

1

u/DelightfulDolphin 4d ago

Why should we stop it? So what if we, I, some of us like porn? So tired of the religious trope against porn. Get over it.

1

u/bobservation75 4d ago

I'm married and enjoy seeing women my dad bod would get smacked for even glancing at. Let me be, Karen!

1

u/Rich_Housing971 4d ago

Am I the only one who doesn't give a shit about OnlyFans?

Simps mismanaging their money is the least of my concerns. It's like the lottery- a bunch of stupid people giving money to someone else.

1

u/BathtubToasterParty 5d ago

Show me on this doll where the OF girl rejected you

15

u/Sunny1-5 5d ago

You can’t be “rejected” by a fucking video screen.

My god. I have no use here at all.

5

u/Pretend-Marsupial258 5d ago

Sure you can if you can't afford the subscription fee. So many nudes, hidden away forever from the poors.

5

u/Bug-03 5d ago

Don’t bother. These regards don’t know how to speak to humans

u/Ok-Bodybuilder4634 5d ago

Rich coming from a redditor

1

u/Bug-03 5d ago

I’m a stay at home dad, I need someone to argue with

3

u/PapiGoneGamer Disgraced Former Bear Gang Colonel 5d ago

I’m sure you’re swimming in pussy, bud

3

u/Sunny1-5 5d ago

I am not. Not swimming in anything but the goddam sweat I poured out in the gym and on the bike today.

I don’t go out much at all. I don’t have the sex drive that you younger guys should have. But I’m god dam not going to give my money to anyone for a look at their tits or ass.

Times may have changed since I was a young man, but I know that you don’t pay for sex, unless you are just that damn desperate. Work on that last part.

3

u/freakinunoriginal 5d ago

Times may have changed since I was a young man, but I know that you don’t pay for sex

What, do you predate the Bible?

1

u/PapiGoneGamer Disgraced Former Bear Gang Colonel 5d ago

I’m 35 and married. Fuck OnlyFans and fuck you too.

3

u/Hot-Significance7699 5d ago

> says fuck onlyfans

> other guy says fuck onlyfans also

> says fuck the guy for hating onlyfans

> based.

u/lovesducks 5d ago

35 and illiterate. ya hate to see it.

1

u/MannerBot 5d ago

Why do you care so much what other people do with their money? It has zero bearing on you

4

u/OPsDaddy 5d ago

About 5 years after it’s bought out by private equity.

2

u/heyhoyhay 5d ago

Not onlyfans itself, just the parasites there get gradually replaced by AI girls.

2

u/Ok-Air-5056 5d ago

unless lawsuits start happening i don't see that any time soon.. they don't sell any actual product, and it's really the middle man between the buyer and the seller... essentially the updated version of the Madame in the whorehouse

2

u/nosimsol 4d ago

Wonder if AI will put OF workers out of business

2

u/Least-Back-2666 5d ago

They tried to rebrand to non sex work and walked it back within a month.
