I don't know if there is a rule against this or not, but if so it is one more honored in the breach. Nevertheless, I think there are a few different classes of these posts. 1. Scammers. Enough said and clearly abusive. 2. Pro dommes. I've actually got no problem with this as long as it is fully disclosed in the profile. 3. Non-pro's seeking tribute. I'm not even sure if this is a real class. But I see a lot of profiles from people who say they are in this category. I typically assume they are either #1 or #2 but I'd be interested to hear perspectives. 4. Domme's who expect slaves to spoil them or become financial servants. This last class strikes me as entirely legitimate. After all, if I say I'm submissive, but I'm such a cheapskate that I won't spend any money on you, then what good am I? I would think any sub worth his salt would be ready to spend a good chunk of change on his Domme. Interestingly, as a sub, I have the opposite pov from people in camp #3. A lot of profile claim to want some token of appreciation to weed out the fakers. I'd rather not spend any money up front to weed out the fakers. Later on, I'm happy to even make outright cash contributions and I'd see the progression of the relationship and the degree of financial control as linked. I can certainly understand how some would be turned off by guys who don't want to work. I personally can earn very good money, so it might make sense for me to work. But if the domme would rather have service vs. income or indulge certain things such as transsexualization that could make work difficult for a period of time, I wouldn't consider it mandatory for a submissive to work. In many ways, the most precious resource available today is human time and attention. Think of that as you are going through the auto-prompt on the customer service line. For a domme who has everything she needs but slave time and attention, not having his income might not be a burden. Health insurance is obviously the trouble spot.
