Just this sort of thing was happening, as a VERY attractive black girl was walking down past Melrose, hand in hand with a guy that was SO out of her league, it made one thing she was out walking her St. Bernard. In fact, it was a match SO incongruous that people weren't buying it for a second. They were hooting at both the girl and the guy, and one guy from the Melrose patio yelled, "She's fine, man, but a Porsche lasts longer!" Happens all the time. So, in a very real way, to me, as a guy, this is farther from being a hypothetical question than it first seems.<BR/><BR/>I think that if our "lawn tractor" boy wanted sex or wanted to make me uncomfortable or otherwise act like a creep towards me, I'd say no. But in terms of integrity and such, I don't think this holds a candle to some of the "jobs" I've had and some of the abjectly compromising things I've seen people do for money. God, the stories I could tell! I'd do it, though, not lightly. But frankly, I don't see it as any sort of different form of employment. And at least the lie is "out in the open" between the employer and the employee.CatsFivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690229426483971695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389858.post-1114012800018117352005-04-20T10:00:00.000-06:002005-04-20T10:00:00.000-06:00This was one of my favorite questions, and yet I w...This was one of my favorite questions, and yet I wasn't sure how I would answer it myself. I went back and forth several times. It seems like it boils down to a sense of personal integrity. That's not to say that someone who would take the money doesn't have integrity, but rather, each of us has a line and if we cross the line, we have to live with ourselves.<BR/><BR/>I decided I'd probably need a little more information, but I might do it, only on the condition that the mondy go to charity. I've done that before when people haave insisted I be paid fore things that I would have done of my own free will.<BR/><BR/>It's cool that you chose to be true to yourself.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033383205096310260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389858.post-1113901412820018962005-04-19T03:03:00.000-06:002005-04-19T03:03:00.000-06:00If it could be done in such a way that I could be ...If it could be done in such a way that I could be sure that there was no risk to my safety... why not?
