How to earn $65 ish an hour helping people online. Thanks to the lock down many people become lonely and isolated. One of the ways they felt better was to chat to people online. Those who did not have close family or friends would chat to people they did not know. But finding someone they did not know that they wanted to chat to was often easier said than done. Women used to be able to go into chat rooms and forums that were for specific subjects such as knitting, parenting, cooking, but most of those have disappeared because it is expensive to set them up and maintain them and whoever owns such a forum has no way of being reimbursed for those costs and labour.

There are a few forums especially for women. But the trouble with those is that most of the women only go there to complain or ask for advice when things are not going well for them. Once their life is happier they disappear.

There are now lots of new chat rooms which are supposedly for anyone to chat to anyone but most of these are full of men who want to send private messages to women nagging them to talk about sex, go on web cam or skype or meet up for sex.

Women are not going to be interested in that, it's not how women think or behave, not unless it is their job and they get paid for it, so very often the men who go into the chat room totally take over the chat room and find there are only a handful of women, and those women are asking them for money. So much for it being a chat room. You will also find that most of those men are not really articulate or interesting, not really wanting to chat at all. Their idea of chat is asking the woman where she lives or what her measurements are or trying to insist she flash her boobs at him on her camera. Not a real chat at all. Just a means to an end.

One of the reasons the idea of a professional friend sprung up was because so many people could not find a friend they could talk to and enjoy being with. Since the lockdown has ended it is still necessary for some people to hire a professional friend and have that person to talk to. Sometimes online, sometimes face to face. I recently read on a forum that a guy was working as a professional friend and surprised to find that the people who hired him were odd and boring.

Well think about this for a moment. If those people were NOT odd and boring they would probably already have lots of friends, and not be needing to spend money on hiring a friend for a few hours! It stands to reason that part of that scenario is that the person hiring the professional friend may be autistic or have aspergers syndrome or may be obsessed with a certain subject and want to go on and on about it and the only way they can do that with a live person is if they pay for the privilege, because it is so boring to others. The professional friend they hire either really does understand and enjoy the same subject OR they pretend to because they are being paid. But it's only fair that they get paid for giving their time to this client because they do not know them, it is not a real friendship, it is working – to them.

In a situation like this the person hiring the professional friend may feel that they should not really be paying or hoping that the person they hire is going to become a real friend later – simply because they don't want to pay later. But that makes no sense because no matter how much the hired person enjoys being with them they have no reason to stop charging for their time.

I've hired lots of people to work for me now and then, cleaners, gardeners, all sorts. Some of them thoroughly enjoyed cleaning my house or tending to my garden, but that does not mean that they would say hey, because I enjoy this from now on it's free of charge. Think about it and you will see how ridiculous this is, and how self centred it is to hope they do.

During my years of working as a professional agony aunt I've had a lot of male clients come to me saying they need advice about this….. they've paid a woman for sex a few times, it was great, so now they want to date her instead. They want to see her without paying. And, guess what, they cannot understand why she does not agree! Really? Sometimes they tell her they love her and think she should say ok I love you too, from now on it's free!!! Dream on. It's a selfish self centred idea.
