Personally I don't give a fuck who gets paid what. Negotiate your pay according to the free market economy, and get paid what you're truly worth. That should be the end of it, but in 2016's victimocracy it isn't.
Male tennis players usually get paid more than female tennis players, because they are a bigger draw. More ticket sales. More TV sales. Why? Sexist TV viewers of both genders? No... it's because the best get paid the most. Female tennis is a separate division, and everyone knows who would win in a male vs. female tennis match.
Any second tier competition is less interesting and makes less money. Female tennis, local level tennis, dwarf tennis...you name it. While interesting, everyone knows that these events are not the ultimate level of human competition.
But women are now complaining that female tennis players are paid less. The claim is that the personal merit of female tennis players is the equal of men therefore they should be paid the same. Not their skill, not their ability to compete, but their merit as people. It's a struggle for women, they have to make sacrifices to be a top player, etc. All true of course, but the argument also applies to people (male and female) ranked 1000 in the world and no-one is talking about them.
Which brings me back to porn stars. Male porn stars are paid a LOT less than female porn stars, even though they usually have to take damaging drugs just perform their job (viagra) and they work harder (sorry, couldn't resist) than female stars.
So why are male porn actors paid less? Because even at the top of their game, they are less of a draw in terms of box office sales.
So if we allow that female tennis players should be paid the same as male tennis players, the same arguments apply to male porn stars.
Male porn stars should be paid the same as female porn stars, OR female tennis players should be paid less than male tennis players.
Personally I say let the market decide and once you make over $100k per year you lose the right to be publicly bitchin' about how oppressed you are.
TL;DR male pornstars - I got your back.

I have got two examples myself. A friend of mine played with his U17 team against arguable Austrians best women football team as there origin is in the same city. Their trainer told them to keep it easy and not go into tackles at all to hurt no woman. They led 6:0 at Halftime and won 7:0 and that was a random boys youth team.
Second example - few years ago Sybille Bammer, best ranked female Austrian Tennis player, played Thomes Muster, retired former Nr. 1 but overweight and heavy smoking at this time. Needless to say Muster won 6:0 6:1, despite the media hyping the match to be super close and even giving Bammer a slightly edge before the match.
Additionally i want to say that Tennis is probably one of the most equal payed sports in the world. At Grand Slam level, the price money is exactly the same, so i find it pretty amusing when female topplayers complain. My two cents.

During the 1998 Australian Open, sisters Serena and Venus Williams boasted that they could beat any man ranked outside the world's top 200. The challenge was accepted by Karsten Braasch, a German player ranked No 203 (his highest ranking was No 38). Before the matches, Braasch played a round of golf in the morning, drank a couple of beers, smoked a few cigarettes, and then played the Williams sisters for a set each, one after the other. He defeated Serena, 6-1, and Venus, 6-2. Serena said afterwards "I didn't know it would be that hard. I hit shots that would have been winners on the women's tour and he got to them easily."
WAFC 8y ago
Braasch also claimed to be taking it easy on them to make it sporting, and when the Williams sisters claimed afterward that they could beat anyone ranked 500 or lower, he said they could have a rematch the next week, as he was slated to lose rank back to around that level.

During off season, women's Olympic hockey team practice against boys high school teams. Because that's the level they play at.
Don't get me wrong, I play adult recreational beer leagues, so these boys and the ladies of the Olympic team would destroy my team. So they are skilled. They are just not nearly as good as men's Olympic teams.
Also, Fallon Fox, a post-op male-to-female transgender MMA fighter, was cleared by the athletic commission to fight in the women's division, because she does not have more lean muscle mass or higher testosterone level compared to women in her weight class. Result... she gives a beating to her opponents, to the point that many people are saying it's unfair.
Men are bred to die hunting for resources or fighting to protect their offspring. When it comes to physical abilities, women cannot compare to men. Not even when you normalize for muscle mass and testosterone. For example I read that men track movements better... why? Because the ones that didn't tend to die off. Women on the other hand, can have babies; men can't. The growth of a "clan" is limited by the number of women, not men.
We both have something that the other side is unsuited for, because the only reason we are here today and have the luxury to get triggered is this division of labor. IMHO it'd be ridiculous to pretend none of that existed just because it's trendy.
BeachBum09 8y ago
The women's world cup team scrimmaged a team made up of the best 15 year old players in southern california. The 15 year old boys team beat the us women's national team 6-0. Also during training for the world cup at around 1999 they would regularly scrimmage the boys under 16 team. Apparently they were in the same camp so it was convenient. The boys team won a majority of these scrimmages and they have only been playing together for a few months while the women's team had been playing together for years.
It's just a simple fact that men are more athletically gifted and capable than women. It's not even close. The games they play are also not even close in comparison. Even if it's the same sport. You have women's basketball which is an utter bore to watch. These are women who are the tallest women in their sport and most athletically gifted. The average female basketball player is about 6 feet and a little under. Only a handful of wnba players can dunk or have dunked and when they do it is a sports news story likely to hit sportscenter top 10. That's how rare it is. Yet male players 6 foot and under in the NBA can consistently dunk. It all comes down to the level the game is played and the desire of the public to watch them. I mean you even see this in the lower rankings of tennis with the men. It's essentially the same thing minus the gender. Novak gets paid a shit ton of money because he is number 1. You don't see number 200 bitching about his sponsorship deal and why he doesn't get paid the same. Well he just doesn't play to that level of competition. If one of the Williams sisters could beat Novak then I'd say they deserve to get paid that dollar amount. But watching the 2 top tennis players in the world in men's compete and then watching the top 2 women compete you notice a stark difference in the intensity of play, range of shots, and range of power. Nobody wants to pay the same amount to see a lesser product. That's not how supply and demand works. You can't just try to say "because I'm a girl" and expect to change inherent laws of society.
truegemred 8y ago
that is actually so embarrassing for the sisters. I never realised the difference between men and women in sport was that huge until I watched the england women play football. First I started enthuisiatic being a football fan it was a sunday like 6pm I had nothing else to do. I started watching these girls struggle to kick the ball around with any purpose and I couldn't watch it anymore

I disagree. They want a tougher challenge, since they beat all the women.

I disagree. I think it's ego. They are treated like men's champions and get a stroked ego. So they feel above all the women. The only thing left is men. Until reality catches up with them.

Possible.
At the same time, during my time as a youth team player, (table tennis, lol) i realized that girls just don't have the same desire to keep looking for new competition. They seem almost happy to stay No.1, and similarly you will never hear any stories of any female warrior seeking to "die by a worthy blade"...
But i did notice that girls love proving that they can "compete with the boys". Even when they know they can't.

There was another match like this in 2003.
Yannick Noah (who peaked at #3 in 1986 and retired in 1996 at rank 500+) played the reigning women's singles champion, Justine Henin. He wore a dress and spent the whole match trying to pull off crazy trick shots but still won in the end.
If he had a rank at the time of that match, it would've been well into the thousands. She was #1.
[deleted] 8y ago
Well then you get into social arguements like "not as many women were encouraged to go into tennis"
Where I live, which teams can compete against which is chosen by measuring the # of people that attend the school. These become your "weight classes"
Reason being, more people attending the school means you have more talent to choose from, even though a football team will always be 11 people

essentially, it's always, ALWAYS the man's responsibility.

ThrowingMyslfOutther 8y ago
I was in a class like yours, started with 70 people the first year. By the end of the second year, 6 guys, one girl. Two of the guys carried her to the end. Since it was 7 people, I always opted to work on my own for team projects, and thus, highest ending GPA by far. She never went into that field.
truthyego 8y ago
Electrical Enginerd grad here (from 2006). Can confirm. 1:7 ratio seems about right (class of couple hundred at a state college). And only 2 cute ones. I actually LTRd one of them at graduation, spent 8 years on/off with her.
Our experiences? She spent the whole time studying and having all the boys hand over their homework with lots of free tutoring. We weren't exactly dating yet, but she'd usually call me up after bilking the homework from smart guys... for the occassions when i bothered to do homework. I spent most of my time partying and half assing it (not recommended, I could've learned a lot more, and also bulked up better).
Results? Her 3.4 GPA beats my 3.0, but ask her ANYTHING about electrical (beyond V=IR) and she knows fuck all. She spent her time memorizing for tests, to regurgitate specific problem solutions. I prioritized internalizing theory and abstract conceptualization, ahead of solution memorization.
Nowadays I'm a semicon engineer. She's a PM, never to return to engineering (how can you when u don't remember shit from ur major). Ironically, the skillz she gained in college was how to manage nerd boys who are technically proficient and love to please, which actually makes her a decent PM.
[deleted] 8y ago
Ex nursing student here (went into law instead). About 85 percent of my class was female. Literally every single test in every class could be passed with straight up memorization. I maintained a 3.8 GPA up until the last year of school before I swapped to law (I hated it that much) and let me tell you, it was WAY faster to think critically and ask WHY does this happen, or WHY is this the right answer as opposed to this is the right answer because the books say so. The few men in my pathology class would always study about 1/3 the amount of the women because we studied critically instead of memorizing every single symptom of every single disease.
MEN: "Well influenza reproduces this way under these conditions, so lets discover how that will affect the human body so we don't need to memorize the entire book symptoms, we can just determine them independently"
WOMEN: "These are all the symptoms of every disease ever, so lets make 2000 flashcards"

The German women's team used to be pretty big over here (for betas I guess). In 2003 the German women won the world cup. The women thought they were the best in world and decided to have a fun match against a male youth team of VfB Stuttgart (a minor team in Germany). These boys were age 14-15. To keep it short, the boys beat the best team in the world by 6-0 or more (apparently they didnt finish the game.).
As far as I know, the only sport where women "beat" men, is kayaking, based on the weight/speed ratio.

boscoist 8y ago
have you ever swam 1500m in one go? thats nearly a mile, and the longest competitive swimming event.
garlicextract 8y ago
No you don't get it. LONG distance. As in the swimming equivalent of ultramarathons (where women also do well). As in swimming the english channel. It's an extreme edge case that is likely more skewed by small sample size than anything else.
boscoist 8y ago
I swam in school, 1500m in one go is A LONG DISTANCE. Swimming is exhausting compared with running or biking. Swimming the English channel is on par with climbing Everest, rather than a sporting or competitive event. The goal is surviving the trip rather than going for time. Your times for that are going to be insanely skewed by the prevailing currents during your attempt as well.
garlicextract 8y ago
Dude, I know. There are ultra-swimming events (such as McCardel's 78 mile swim) that /u/Derbi50 was referring to. The fact that the times are insanely skewed and it's not a traditional 'race'... that's exactly my fucking point. Why is this so difficult to grasp?

You'd think so, but even in domains where men and women are on equal ground physically, such as e-sports, there are no girls playing at the highest levels.

She did an interview about possibly fighting Fallon Fox, a male to female transexual.
http://www.out.com/sports/2015/7/16/ufc-womens-champ-refuses-fight-trans-athlete-fallon-fox
To paraphrase:
No, she wouldn't fight "her", because she'd have an unfair advantage having gone through puberty as a male.
Uh. If you think fighting a transvestite that's been on female hormone therapy for 20 years would put you at a disadvantage, how the fuck could you win against any male mma fighter at the top of his game?
I'd be willing to bet she'd lose handily against any top 40 mma fighter, even a weight class lower than her.
Any male fighter in an equal weight class would rock her immediately.
nzgs 8y ago
The Rousey-mania is truly disgusting. I think it's a case of blue-pilled men having a fetish for being beaten up by a girl, and severely inflating her fighting ability as a result. Honestly I think any male amateur fighter would easily beat her in a fight, official or not.

If you have a couple months of grappling experience, you could probably tool anyone your size, a little bit bigger, and anyone smaller of course.
If you have years of experience, you can tool most inexperienced people. Unless they're super strong, athletic freaks.

Nothing teaches humility than being made to look like a bitch in front of a whole class. Turns out the kid was a wrestling genius.

They don't know of this strength difference because they've been treated well by men their whole lives.

That shit don't count. But regardless, one of the reasons why he never lost is because boxing is rigged to the max these days. It's not even fun to watch. The UFC is good because every single event that they host has mostly good match ups. It's bad for the fighters because they have no leverage over the UFC but for the fans it's great. Boxing on the other hand has so many world titles and they rarely put their best up against each other, that's why I don't even watch boxing anymore. Back when in the day you'd have the best boxers beat the shit out of each other a couple times a year and people paid big money for that. Boxing as a sport is in a shitty state right now.
ThrowingMyslfOutther 8y ago
Lol, don't talk about sports being rigged, it's like TRP. There are a lot of "blue pill" believers of sports. I remember the world cup 3 wc's ago, I got into a huge fight that fifa is set to be rigged like all other American sports. Unfortunately I said that around a group of top of the bell curve iq, and they wanted to get physical about it. Lol. I wonder if they recalled our conversation during the talks about extraditing the heads of fifa to the U.S. for corruption charges. Hmmm.
Btw, the horse races here (probably everywhere) are rigged too. I'm a statistical researcher and as a thesis project I worked with an avid pony player to statistically determine winners. Unfortunately... rigged. The data was compelling enough that I killed the thrill for a 30+ year pony gambler. Fwiw, that's why jockeys are paid so well.

It's not the fights that are rigged, the leagues are rigged. You won't see the same kind of boxing as you did with the fabulous 4 in the eighties because now the top boxers exclusively fight people below their skill level for money in their own leagues. I'm not saying that the people fighting Mayweather willfully lost - they just weren't really good enough to ever have a chance.

They're not "hard-rigged" in the sense that someone pre-arranges to take a dive.
They're soft-rigged in the sense that managers duck fights they aren't certain their fighter will win, they pad fighters' records early in their careers by setting up fights with guys who are more like sparring partners, and lose fights for a living.
Boxing is as much about the metagame of arranging matches as it is about what happens in the ring.

Lol, I sit behind a computer screen all day, my mma days, two decades ago, and as long as I had a good trainer helmet on to protect my pretty face from a stray shot she might get, I'd get in the ring with her. Obviously, I still workout, I don't want to die, haha... but I doubt she'd get any good hits on me before she was taking a heel to the temple.
I'm blindingly fast. I've grabbed falling objects, seen from the corner of my eye, and people look at me agape like I did a superhero trick. [For a layperson, that means not only was I able to move faster than 32ft/sec, as it was a hypotenuse to the vector of gravity, I also had time to visually process and command muscle movement. So I'm obviously able to strike out (or block) laterally at less than a tenth of a second, consistently]
And she sure as fuck doesn't want to grapple with me, I'm bursty and have an iron monk core. Plus I do squats like an air force fighter pilot (my dad), and at 6'1" with my core and legs, there's a decent chance I could stand up with her grappled on me and do a destructive KO slam to get her off me. I've done it to guys in my class range before.

Funny story. Back in the day when I was in the army I hit on an army girl. On our second date she decides that unarmed combat is foreplay. She punched me in the shoulder, and then the game was on. It took less than 10 seconds for me to osoto gari her ass and go for the pin. What she found really infuriating is that once we were on the ground, I would pop up my head at random intervals, give her a kiss, and then turtle down so she could not move.

None whatsoever , she probably wouldn't even be able to beat a decent male amateur. He striking is complete garbage, she only got this far because of the weak competition in woman's mma and her superior grappling sills.

"The authors of the Nature paper graphed men's and women's world records through history for every event from the 200-meters to the marathon and saw that the improvement in women's records was far steeper than the improvement in men's. By extrapolating the curves into the future, the authors determined that women would beat men in all running events in the first half of the 21st century. 'It is the rates of improvement that are so strikingly different,' the authors wrote. 'The gap is progressively closing.'" - The Sports Gene by David Epstein
This doesn't account for some women having more testosterone than others as well as the steroid era of the 70s and 80s, but I find it interesting nonetheless. Women's hockey and basketball players seem even further in this regard, let alone show any improvement in the gap of talent.
garlicextract 8y ago
lmao. The only reason the 'rate of improvement' was so great is because of how bad the previous women's records are.
Take any event from the 100m to the 5000m, or the pole vault, or the long jump, shot put, women's times are less competitive than men's by more than any other sport.
The US National Women's team has played competitive games against top-ranked high school boys' teams, and a WNBA all-star team could play a competitive game against a national-ranked boys team. The tennis story had the Williams sisters getting crushed, but they were playing against a professional man. They could have easily kept up with very talented high school boys, who rarely if ever are able to crack the top 200 in tennis like Braach was.
On the other hand the high school boys record in the one mile race is in another UNIVERSE compared to the women's world record. Same goes for the 100m. And the 200m. And every other track event.
women are farther behind in track than any other sport, except maybe football (of which there are no women's leagues).
jb_trp 8y ago
The Canadian Women's Hockey team would play high school boys to get ready for the Olympics and would get crushed almost every time.

My freshman year of high school, the Girl's varsity basketball team wanted to play us to get a more physical match-up for a tune-up sort of game (this was still preseason). They were actually pretty good in our division too, so they were working that season to make the playoffs. So Girl's Variety vs. Freshman Boys...
Outcome was actually kinda sad. They only scored 2 baskets, and both were from their best player shooting outside (a freshman girl ironically- she played rec league with all the boys growing up so she was actually ready for the game). The coaches called the game early because two of the seniors started throwing temper tantrums after they got blocked for like 10 straight possessions. Score was something like 54-4 at that point.
Moral of the story: Keep the sports guys and gals separate in sports.

My cousin used to come shoot with us and play pickup 2v2 and 3v3 games on outdoor courts in high school when she was a senior and I was a freshman. We beat her and the other senior girls up, we had a lot of size on them and didn't take it easy.
She went on to 3 national titles in college basketball with the University of TN.

I've played plenty of girls teams at hockey as training drills like mentioned above. Not national teams but just below that. It's a pretty stupid drill if the coaches keep the game going to get to the point of 54-4.
Yes they're obviously less athletic, slower and weaker. But often they play smarter. None have ever had temper tantrums. One did get a little pissy at me once. But I did accidently knock her unconscious.
I've often thought how nice it would be to hamstring (say with a women's physical capabilities) an athletic young male player for 6months or so, so they can learn how to play rather than rely on their athleticism.
Whitified 8y ago
A better way would be simply to put them up against much more athletic male opponents. They will then need to adapt to compete
JustClickingButtons 8y ago
Easier said then done. It's not like there's another stronger sex for males to play against...

There's always someone taller/stronger/faster but not as skilled. That's how they train professionals
JustClickingButtons 8y ago
I'm talking semi-pro/pro level. When I said young, I was thinking a young man, 18-22.
It's simply not possible to have access to "more athletic opponents that aren't as skilled" that are better players so as to be useful for training purposes. They just don't exist.
I understand you want to be right and I didn't put enough 'womenz hate' in my initial post for everyone to feel good about. Sometimes the truth isn't what gives one the feelz one wants, for men as well as women.
edit: if you could give me an example of how professionals are trained like this I'd love to hear it?
Whitified 8y ago
Of course they dont exist. If they are less skilled, then technically they aren't better players to begin with. I meant players worse than the professionals, but who have the physical advantage.
Errrrrrm.... i dont hate women. In fact i think TRP has too much women hate. In this regard i agree with you
Okay....... errrrm. I know in soccer at least, at least one coach i know of likes to let his team play against opponents from a lower level, but who are much better physically (taller, bigger defenders, sprinter wingers) In such a case, the more technical team will definitely have to play more technical, not get into physical situations, even turning corners into simple short passes, control the ball and avoid situations that will turn into 50-50 confrontations... etc. And 9 out of 10 times they would win.
I agree that women who trained with men more definitely play smarter, but smarter play can be trained in men too.
Besides, even on a purely technical level, men are superior too, and you can't change that during training.
Im not sure what you meant by "hamstring" though. Are you suggesting injure the hamstring on purpose?! Cos that won't help anyone play better

BoogersAreTasty 8y ago
I've told this story before, but I'll retell it again here.
When I was a freshman in high school I played basketball. It was tradition that the boys freshman team played the girls varsity team each year in an inaugural game to kick off the season.
Here we were, 12 freshman boys who had only been playing together for a couple of weeks, going up against junior and senior girls who had been playing together for several years and who had an awesome team (they came in first place in the state the year before and would come in second place in the state that year).
On this girls team was one girl who went on to play Division 1 basketball and 2 other girls who went on to play Division 2 basketball and several other girls who were real athletes in other sorts such as volleyball and field hockey that they played at the college level.
Everyone in the school was looking forward to this game so that this "stud team" of girls could whip our freshman butts. Everyone at school was mocking us telling us that the girls were going to beat us and that we didn't stand a chance.
To honest, I was a little nervous about being beaten by girls.
So game time came and.......we annihilated them. We didn't just beat them, we throttled them.
A girls team that would go on to be the second best in the state, with girls that were that going to go on and have prolific D1 and D2 careers....and we crushed them.
I remember, I had to go against the girl who went to to play D1 basketball and she was helpless against me. I was stronger, faster, quicker and more aggressive than she was.....by a mile.
After one quarter, we put in our scrubs against their starters....and our scrubs continued the route. It was ugly, ugly, ugly.
Women just can't compete with men in most sports.
You may call me crazy, but I posit to the group that a state championship caliber high school boys varsity basketball team could probably beat most WNBA teams.....but I could be wrong.

Not to mention, the women only play 3 sets. That's no way near as gruhling as the mens matches can be (see Nadal v Djokovic in the 2012 Aus Open final which lasted just shy of 6 hours). The women simply don't pull the same viewership and thus they don't deserve to be paid as such. If you take the approach that the personal merit of the player justifies their pay grade, then you also have to agree that a running back deserves to be paid equal salary to the star quarterback of an NFL team. I see no feminists vehemently pushing that agenda.

AFAIK the best of the male porn stars get paid about the same as female porn stars. Johnny Sins makes more than most female porn stars, being the most famous of them. Obviously it does depend on the scene. A woman would get payed more for an Anal Gangbang, while the guy would get payed relatively less. Its based on screen time. On the other hand, on a CFNM, bondage type video, the male will get payed more. You get what you pay for, and you pay for what you get.

Simple supply and demand dilemma. No nefarious conspiracy against men. More men in the job market and they're the elastic product. Easily interchangeable except for the top 10 or so guys who've made a market for themselves.

The tennis associations totally fuck up the market dynamics with all their goofy rules. I think a lot of women tennis players would get paid as much as the men (but for the totally different reasons) because they run their pussies about the court and make fuck grunts as they hit the ball.
I've mentioned elsewhere that women's tennis can actually be more entertaining because they don't have the power and speed of men, so there are fewer aces and the rallies are longer.
But forget tennis, if you want to see a real dichotomy watch women's MMA.

I think you underestimate how much some of these people bring in, and I think it's fucking hilarious I got downvoted into oblivion simply for shedding light on why these men join the profession. Did I advocate for it, no. Did you all assume I was, yes, which is hilarious. Sure, I've legit fucked girls who've done amateur porn; what do you think those chaturbate girls do on a Friday night after working all day? Go get some proper dick.
Regardless, plenty of men make money for the sake of fucking hotter women. We at TRP just know how to lure them in with it without letting them see a dime of it.
Still, most pornstars live in LA. In nice places. Entertainment is America's #1 export, and it pays well. Trailer parks are for idiots who don't know how to work, or budget money. It would be just as easy for me to work my day job and be a pornstar by night for extra cash and guaranteed lays as it would be for me to work on my book and have almost guaranteed lays from my plates when I text them over like I do currently.
Not to mention that doctors and lawyers are some of the absolutely most beta professions around unless you had a healthy dosage of red pill from dear old dad or somewhere like here early on, long before you got dragged too deep into your studies. Must be nice having all that money and still having no idea how to talk to a girl who's actually in your league, so you settle for the slutty nurse who's on the verge of the wall because you two "have so much in common helping people" and "she's certainly not marrying me for my money." Spare me, doc.
I've got two teachers and two nurses on speed dial right now; I call, they show up ~75% of the time. Nurses are some of the sluttiest girls I know. One's married, to a beta bux doctor, yet she still fucks my 24 year old body because I'm not complacent and never buy her shit like he does.
Most everyone in difficult fields are beta as fuck and never get laid. Those that are alpha in those professions are literally drowning in female classmates and peers throwing themselves at him.
Money doesn't mean shit when it comes to getting laid in this day and age thanks to feminism. I spent 3 dollars on my own hot chocolate on Friday, had my date pay for probably 40$ worth of things, then went out later, had my cover fee and my drink paid for by a different girl, who I then fucked. I make decent enough money for my age, but it has little to nothing to do with being alpha. Alpha is a social construct. Successful people are alpha because of their social ability, and they turn that into profit. They work to help themselves, and make way more than the average beta doctor or lawyer or accountant. Very few men reach that tier. I can tell you, honestly though, that no amount of career-only focus will make you an alpha if you aren't already one, because you're that many years behind everyone else playing the game when it comes to society.
Being in porn simply cheats the system as a guy; you end up having so much sex that women perceive you as alpha (because women have that 6th sense for when you are taken already, and that's when they want you the most because they love causing drama in other people's lives and love fucking over other women. When you do 500+ porn videos, you always stink of that taken scent that drives women nuts, even if you got into it for all the wrong reasons, and even if you're still a beta deep down. It's like the easiest way to "fake it until you make it" out there available to men, and some people don't mind taking shortcuts to reach their success. No matter how successful you are, I guarantee you haven't fucked 1,000 women. You may have more sex than some of these guys, but you don't "spread your seed" to as many of them. And caveman theory always applies; the basic biological imperative is the most important driving factor for every aspect of society. It defines "success," since having more modern wealth simply gives you access to more potential mates.

sociosexualstatus 8y ago
I don't see why not, the labor used in the production of a brain surgeon is all the necessary labor used, and med school is a necessary component of that future brain surgery, so it must be counted.

They should be paid MUCH, MUCH MORE! Male porn stars do 300% of the work while the female porn star sits in doggy and gets fucked.

Seriously, that's a ton of repetitive motion. Maybe with this new twerking shit, she twerks for 30 seconds, but the guy does 96% of the work.

They can just make their own movies and keep all the money to them. Buy a camera, pay an internet server, pay someone to design your site, hire a girl a week to pop up a scene, charge accordingly (or don't charge at all and use ad streams for revenue), profit. If i lived in US i'd be doing this right now.

May have this in the works atm. Joked with a plate who was tight on cash and she said she was down as long as nobody saw her face. Then I kidded her about doing furry shit and she said "DOES THAT MEAN I GET TO WEAR KITTEN EARS AND A TAIL?!" So, may break into that niche market relatively soon... I mean, fuck, some of these camgirls make decent money just laying around naked. I need a slice of that pie.

There are tons of dudes who do this.
One of my favorites (well was back when I watched porn a lot) was the guy who runs "Amateur Creampies".
He is this short Asian (I think?) guy with a small dick who just raw dogs these skanks in hotel rooms. Apparently he has knocked up several of them too.
I guess he just takes out internet ads all over the country, flies them out, fucks them raw, creampies them, and pays them.
I mean if that guy can do it, ANYONE can do it. He isn't in good shape, he isn't handsome, he doesn't have a big dick, he doesn't have a stuido, etc.

A lot of them were obviously like straight up meth/crack/heroin whores, and I couldn't raw dog one of those, but a surprising number of them were aight and a few were even hot.
Now that they have that drug that stops you from getting AIDs it seems pretty attractive. Creampieing strange girls is seriously my favorite thing on Earth. There is absolutely nothing as sweet as raw dogging and creampieing a girl you just met or barely know or only met a couple times.

Given that black women are on average behave more masculine than white women, it seems that the correlation is rather direct.

I heard that before but I wonder to which extent "white women " include latinas (since they're mostly light skinned) and how is the rate for asians.

Completely agree with the sentiment but its an unwinnable battle. Tennis pay will be equalised soon, despite the obvious difference in revenue and airtime. Moaning about pornstars is funny, but a little pointless.

This almost needs to be required study for RP newbies to watch, this is the female hamster caught on camera in action flipping it's switch right in front of you between "I fight for women's rights" and "I enjoy being degraded" I mean the guy literally at one point asked if she like being degraded by men while her face was being blasted by a dick and she just smiled, this right after her going on and on about taking women's studies and being a feminist. It's almost like she forgot that cameras record this shit forever so she can't just lie and say it never happened.

Him: "Your hair is stringy and nasty."

Male: Slaps her on ass.
Cameraman: "Here is a hair brush. Brush your nasty stringy hair while he fucks you. Keep fucking her dude. Take the brush. Brush your nasty stringy hair so it doesn't look so shit."
Her: takes brush, brushes hair.
Words cannot express how awesome that is. I wish all porn was like this.

fingerthemoon 8y ago
Holy shit! I'm not sure what's more disturbing, the cognitive dissonance of this woman or the fact that I found myself turned on by this.
The neurological circuits of sex and anger must be closely related in men. Probably women as well. It puts me in a place of internal conflict because half of me wants to go back and watch the whole video and the other half says stay away. Fuck man, thanks for messing with me.
Edit: I've decided not to go down that path. I have a friend who got into this kind of aggressive degrading sex with a women who said she was totally into it. When he broke up with her she accused him of rape. He still has internal struggle over whether or not he raped her but according to his testimony of events it doesn't sound like it to me. She was consensual. Just seems like a convoluted fucked up place to get yourself into.

OMFG, that last part... a complete 180 degree change from her saying that there should be equality in pay when the camera man brought up the fact that women are paid more in porn, then she disagrees that there should be equality in pay because this is a "capitalistic society."

they get paid the same amount (although men play more games and bring in more ticket sales) at the majors, the big opens. At other events women get less money, because the events attract less money.

A much more comical example is the WNBA. I've watched it a few times out of curiosity and it's hilariously bad. As in, I am not an amazing ball player by any means and I could wipe the floor with any of them.
If you want to get paid to have people watch you do something, you kinda have to be better at it than the people watching.

There are a few that are good, but for the most part they really aren't.

If that women uconns team losing to random dudes is true and you prove it then ill definitely admit your right lol
fartag1994 8y ago
Physically they'd be overmatched but they can shoot pretty well. Some random dude who doesn't hoop would get destroyed

You don't have to be that good if you have the size advantage. I'm pretty shitty at basketball, but I used to always beat my friends (who were much better) because I was bigger and would murder them in the post.
Now they're on gear and they fucking rape me, lol
I'm not saying some dude who doesn't play could beat a WNBA player, of course they couldn't, but a guy who played in highschool and plays a few hours a week would stand a pretty damn good chance against most WNBA players.

Agreed. And if they have to offer higher wages to attract more men, then so be it. And if that means that more women are suddenly interested as well, then too bad - there will have to be a cap on the number of women that are allowed to enter the profession until men are fairly represented.

Most male porn stars are also producers, so they actually get a double paycheck. If you are just a hired dick, then yes you get maybe half or less than the pussy you pound. As a producer, you get access to all sorts of revenue streams.
Ron Jeremy is a classic piece of work. A high school teacher with a 10 inch dick, he started doing porn and stopped doing it well after his best-before date. But one of his insights was "I am a prop". Guys watch porn to see the girls; the male porn guys should be largely invisible other than seeing their schlong violating all of the girl's holes.
Hell, if you just want to get laid then do amateur porn. You can get a girl for as little as 300 bucks a session. In many jurisdictions, prostitution is illegal but my understanding of the 1st Amendment is that porn is sacrosanct. It's not like you even have to release the videos: you pay for play, get laid and then lock it away in your hard drive.
candyman420 8y ago

If i recall correctly there were a controversy with porn actress sarah shevon regarding to it. She sued a guy whom she shooted because he didn't released the video and feared being liable for prostitution. So i don't know about that.

That is new to me. Do you have a citation?
Linrraba 8y ago

Linrraba 8y ago
On top of that, their careers last way longer than the average girl. Think about it: james deen, manuel ferrara, mike adriano, to quote a few, got payed to fuck at least one different girl per day for more than a decade right now (more than you can say for most girls in porn). I'm sure they raised some solid money with it.
Entropy-7 8y ago
Doing my math . . . a new girl a day for a decade means over 3000 bangs.
I have two roads open to me: either I lock down a girl in the next few months or I fuck LBFMs and start my own porn site.
VoidedSmash 8y ago
Additionally, you can have some sort of career outside of porn potentially. Ron Jeremy might be known for his dick, but you seem his using that status to get roles in movies like The Boondock Saints or Crank. James Deen has done talks about sex ed and is listed as a producer of a non-porn movie.
That being said though male pornstars are more liable to be affected by lawsuits and accusations, such as in the case of James Deen.

At the end of the day, the tennis players who bring in the money should get paid the most, no matter the gender. Just like how ronda rousey gets paid more then many male fighters, she generates the more capital. It just happens that more male tennis players generate more viewings. The same for porn. If a pornstar has a massive following, they should get paid acordingly, regardless of gender.
[deleted] 8y ago
When you think about it. Ronda Rousey's job was to put paying butts into expensive seats and to get people to order pay per views which featured her in it. She only did this by fighting but her real job was a sales/marketing job. And she was better at this than most men were in the UFC. She was the biggest draw during her invincible prime streak.
elchucknorris300 8y ago
The market should decide everything. If the market doesn't want to pay more for female pornstars, and male tennis players so be it. But supply and demand should dictate. Higher supply and lower demand of male pornstars = less pay.
