Some of them bring it on themselves and even beg for it, like Trisha, who I think posts here less for business and more for her ego, but when a woman comes along that isn't content, it would be nice if she was just treated like one of the guys. Unfortunately, most of any board's members are assholes.

Gee, Hammer... You gotta watch sayin' stuff like that or people might start thinkin' you're a nice guy.

That said, I think you're on to something. I mean, I accept that there's always going to be a certain level of "hey baby, every had your asshole licked by a fat man in an overcoat?" going on - it is a strongly guy-weighted industry, after all. But on the other hand... It gets pretty tiring to try to talk to someone about numbers and business and get "Yeh, sure... Wanna do a shoot? I've got a camera..."

I am a nice guy, but it is just plain wrong for Gonzo to say this to every chick he meets.

Of course not, silly :P. It's a line from a movie, chosen to make a point about the crude nature of contact that often happens to women in the industry, without regard to what that woman actually does. Y'know, backing up what Hammer was saying about the general state of interaction on boards.

I get the complaint about chicks that are only here to self-promote and then bail. On the other hand, it can be a tough environment in which to hang tight.

It is a tough environment!! i totally agree!!

I dont know why people complain about chicks promoting themselves......what are they suppose to do? Make money for someone else and not themselves. I dont want to promote someone else companies......I have plenty of times......but if you had your own company why would u push another product. I would rather the girls take a more hands on approach to show that we do have personalities and are real people.

I don't think it's the self-promotion itself that's the problem so much. It's the nature of the self-promotion and then abandoning the boards once some amophous goal has been acheived - it's kinda cheap and manipulative. I think that's the main complaint here.

I agree on the point.....many of the girls are about the "right now" Most dont know that these girls are getting pulled in 500 different directions. And sometimes their webmaster tells them to jump on here and post....but they really dont know what they are doing or have the time to stay on a regular basis......

2 Points of clarification...
1. I dont lick assholes
2. I dont have an overcoat.

Yall should spend some time with Trisha away from the show frivolity. Youll find shes quite a businesswoman in her own right.

What you call ego... I would call marketing. Afterall she relaunched her own site and was trying to get some webmaster promo going. Everyone got to see what they would be promoting.

Smart bidness.

YES, I totally agree with you there. I have had the pleasure to hang out with Trisha Uptown several times. She is a very sweet person and has a good head on her shoulders. She has goals in her life and yes you should check out her site, its very nice.

But I must tell you, I dont like to cook very much, however I dont mind cleaning. I like to go shopping, I like to travel, go dancing, sing karoake, etc etc.
