Career Opportunity: Whore

This showed up in my inbox this morning, with the subject line "Indecent Proposal". (Seriously! I know.)

Hi,

Ummm, any interest in a friends with benefits relationship? I can give you 250 per session, and we'd meet 3 times a month. I'm 32. If interested we can discuss further. Hope you're not offended. I'm private and discreet.


I can completely understand how someone might think I would be amenable to that sort of thing, especially after this post. But how does he know what I look like? And why would he think my rate was $250 when I have SPECIFICALLY referred to Jessica Cutler’s $400 price tag? Is it because he refers to the situation as “friends with benefits” as opposed to “hiring a hooker”? There’s no discount for that.

LOL, this just seems like another chapter for your book. You should set something up with him and send a male escort instead.

Broady said...

If he's a long-time reader, he thinks you look like Sienna Miller because of your post where the artist-guy said as much to you.

As for the money... he's trying to low-ball you. I bet it's just a negotiation tactic and you could squeeze more out of him with just a little pressure.

But the whole "friends with benefits" v. "hiring a hooker"? Great marketing!

pibbleterrier said...

I agree-- $250 is some lowball shit.

Maybe he was inspired:

Oh, where would we be without the internet?

Bug said...

Yeah, $250?! C'mon dude. Maybe he'll read these comments and be inspired to offer more???

(But hey, 250 x 3...) That's gotta be like, half of your rent right there...

The Ambiguous Blob said...

I would ask him just what is involved in a "session". I'd be very curious to hear the answer at least.

Dawn Coyote said...

maybe he had you confused with someone else: the anti-CB

jerry-is-stoke said...

I'd be willing to go higher than that. Especially if it's an allnighter....

othur-me said...

Maybe by "friends with benfits" he means "friends who clean each other's apartments".

$250 is pretty good, especially if you don't have to do windows.

myboyfriendiscrazy said...

He doesn't have to know what you look like to want to do you. Maybe witty blogs are what turn him on.

Maybe your potential "john" is hoping you'll operate on a sliding scale?

Sicilian said...

CB. . . this is great ammo for REBF. . . whenever you are feeling a bit jealous of former med student vegetarian GF. . . let him know you got options too. Options that pay. . .
Ciao

Drunken Master said...

Try and find out how he came up with that figure. Then haggle, you can always back out whenever you want.

NWJR said...

So what is your rate?

:-)

Texas Cinderella said...

Maybe he finds your blog header drawings sexy!!! What a perv!

Bindress said...

Like you would whore yourself out. What a looser he is.And how dare he!

DevilsHeaven said...

I'm assuming this was an e-mail generated from your Blog, and not someone you actually know??? And what's with the "Ummmmmm"??? If you are going to make that kind of proposal, at least do it with some damned gumption!!!

And per sicilian, Whatever happened to the non-ice cream eating ex-gf moving to the city?

Old Lady said...

Probably just some spam.

gotcha said...

The non-ice cream eating whore (that is SO catchy) is moving here in either October or November. I don't want to ask because I am incapable of talking about her without yelling.

Rosey--thank you for the apt. offers.

J said...

Lady divine said...

Mob said...

Change the subject to 'Ignorant Proposal' and forward it to the boss.

Unless it was from the boss...then send it to Human Resources.

Scott said...

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm -very- curious to see if CB takes j up on her proposal.. at long last, we could hear about CB from someone other then CB; I mean, don't get me wrong, I love hearing about CB from CB, but hearing about CB from someone else would definitely be a bonus ;-).

CB- sicilian may have a point.. if Re-Boyfriend suggests (however indirectly) the idea of a 3some again, you can always suggest that a guy emailed you saying that leads you to believe that he may just pay for the privilege ;-). Although, you may want to do it without the money.. And yes, I'm well aware that he may be thinking of someone of the feminine persuasion, but that's precisely the point; pointing out the fact that the idea of more then 2 in a relationship goes both ways ;-). As you may well imagine, I'm not against the idea of more then 2 people in a relationship. Personally, I've only been in a relationship with more then 1 person online and many people have told me that that shouldn't count, but I disagree. My longest lasting relationship was online and while this may lead you to believe that I am therefore definitely not someone to be giving suggestions on what to say to Re-Boyfriend in a given scenario, I beg to differ ;-).

I've actually had a girlfriend for about 2 months now and we've basically just been seeing each other. But I have dreams, -big- dreams, lol ;-).

nwjr- she -did- mention that Jessica Cutler's rate was $400 ;-)..

The very nice man said...

Maybe he was a British Gent . . uuuhhhmmm . . Git and the offer was in £ Sterling, which would equate to about $400??!?!

CB

ugh!

Many years ago I dated a man who had resources greater than my own. I purchased a brand new outfit to go out to dinner with him at an expensive restaurant. He insisted that he should pay for the outfit. I protested that he should not. He left $200.00 in my bathroom soapdish prior to leaving the next morning. I am still unabled to put a name to the emotion I felt when I found the money. Dehumanized comes closest. Needless to say, I returned the money and ended the relationship.

You do not want to ever feel the way I felt. No one does. Not for 200 or 2 million.

Circe said...

Oh how funny!!!!

Bindress said...

Fairscape, I am so sorry to hear that. Men sometimes don't think ahead. I feel personally pissed off at that man who did that. Jerk.
(P.M.S. really REALLY affects me)sorry!

Scott said...

I wish my girlfriend would insist on paying for me.. Actually, I think she would if she had lots of money, but she`s poor like me :-/

Rosey said...

CB, Lemme know if you're gonna hook up with Helen Green & Co....I work in NYC...I'd love to stalk, er, um, I mean join.

Gotcha, yer welcome. Did you call?

Have you considered it may just be a 'she' who wrote you this little proposal?

Stella said...

I'm a "break off the relationship and keep the money" kind of girl, but good for you!

What an email to get, CB!!! I just have to ask.... Did you reply?
