As I said earlier - I know the types of girls you're talking about. But you state a blanket generality, and then allow no variance to it, along with a misogyinistic spin that I'm tired of seeing. If that wasn't your intention, I apologize for misinterpreting.

People have given examples where this is not the case. Keep in mind that just about EVERY single girl amateur site on the early web (which are some that had the most success) did not come from the 'industry'. They developed independent of it. Those in the adult film industry caught onto the web later.

Your 'reality' is not a complete picture, but sounds like it's entirely grounded in the film end of the industry, dealing with talent, which is not the same pond. We've swum in both, and seen plenty of what you're talking about. But it's not the whole picture.
I understand entirely where you're coming from. It's the online adult world vs the regular adult world. In the online world, this is a time of mass-production cookie-cutter programs and solo-girl sites, where there's a lot of deception about who's a character and who's a person... or a model for that matter. Jenni of Jennicam.org for instance, that's a girl who knows the business... not a poseur. There simply aren't as many models who know this business like they'd want you to believe.

But for every Jenni there's 3000 fakes that want you to believe their the person calling the shots.

And for all of those who are thinking I'm speaking lowly of women. Not at all. I know many, many wonderful and extremely intelligent women that I love very dearly. Models fall a bit short in the brain capacity in this business, and you still cannot convince me that a good number of them on this very message board - GFY LaLa Land - are the ones that are in control of their sites, and affiliate programs. If you think otherwise, you are truely kidding yourselves.
