How important/ damaging is pride?

Without any details it sounds like your inclination is to be a whore and take the money! Your last answer to me says that you are already looking past the 25% and on to a bigger payday later.

 

He's Homo?

 

Well there you have it. Now, when you buy yourself a red/tan Valentine's day gift no one will wonder where you got the dough!

 

Pics or it didn't happen!

 

If hundred of thousands of people do it, can't be that bad. For a sec I thought you had to provide acts like put a feather between your ass naked and dance around like a chicken screaming cock a doddle do.

 

Can you tell us what it entailed now that you will not be doing it? I understand if you cant.

 

what if it's a trick? what if-- by you showing your willingness to do this, or have this done to you-- you prove yourself unworthy of the prize?

this is a very intriguing thread. it brings to mind how pimps groom young women into prostitution; by creating a large financial and emotional rewards for incremental steps of increasing self-degradation, overcoming established taboos and sense of self-worth, praising them along each step, and severely degrading and berating them if they show any doubts. is the thread starter being groomed?

Neil, please don't let them touch you "down there"!





(all in good humor of course)

EDIT: missed Neil's post.

 

I am going to have to agree with you on this, for 25%, it isn't worth the embarrassment to live with for that much.

 

ok, did it involve anything-- in any way, shape or form-- that rhymes with "phincter"? LOL

 

So which frat was it?

 

Pretty vague description of scenario here. Regardless, it's far better to make it on your own then to sell out somehow for money. Do it if you're willing to pay the price.

 

So, what you would have had to do for the money was only a "big deal" to you but probably not to many of the rest of us. And the wealthy person offering you the deal would have had no problem doing it himself.

Can I assume it had something to do with working in a specific job position, for a month or so's time? Perhaps a job position where you had to wear a uniform?

 

yeah, I think it's something along the lines of buying into a private janitorial services company, but in order to do so the majority owner is asking that Neil be willing to scrub a few toilets to see and understand what people at the bottom have to go through.

Neil however is a highly educated and accomplished individual (my assumptions) and is probably thinking, "I didn't bust my butt all these years to scrub toilets next to a HS dropout" or words to that effect.

and there's nothing wrong with that feeling. I'd probably feel much the same way*. but he probably doesn't care to tolerate being labeled an "elitist" either, by posting about his unwillingness on this forum.

how close am I Neil?

* except, my first job was on a commercial shrimping vessel, so I don't need to re-experience that again. ever!

 

I guess so but it is also odd. In my club job was being paid in the high 6 figures a year, and I thought nothing about cleaning a bath room at one of our clubs should I walk in and find it messy or even down right destroyed.

If doing the nasty job is a problem with you, good luck raising kids or puppies!
