This sounds dangerous if there are teenage girls doing it. They for sure aren't protecting their anonymity enough.
And for most guys they get the mindset the only way to have a girl talk or play video games with me is to pay for it. That doesn't exactly sound healthly...but who knows.
One the one hand, it's kinda weird, sad and the jokes write themselves but....
If these girls actually use fortnite of all things to get some guys to talk about their feelings and open up to a girl, I think it's a good cause.
It's not a full time job, but it's $20 an hour to play video games and chat with someone. An extra $6000 a year doing that doesn't sound like the most awful thing in the world.
I figure a lot of the responses in this thread will be jokes about paying for girls to play video games with you, but it sounds like these guys are looking for an outlet to express their personal feelings and chatting with someone over Fortnite is a safe space for them to do it. Maybe this is something professional therapists could explore further.
Absolutely, people have no idea how much therapy costs. Once a week, one hour sessions for me are $200 a month, and that's with insurance covering half of the cost.You can bet the majority of the joke comments are also coming from people that don't realize how expensive therapy can be despite how crucial it can be to someone's mental well-being.
She's taking precautions to protect herself, she's helping people that probably need it; More power to her and the dudes she's talking to for doing this and not finding refuge in some bottom feeder's subreddit.
They said a lot of them are underage. On paper sounds better than a normal part time job in retail or fastfood.I'm sure it's a side night job for some of them, not their full-time job in real life
It's not really conducive to therapy. Gaming can be made part of therapy, perhaps, but part of the reason this works is that it feels organic (yes, even though money is exchanging hands - but heck, same with therapy). Companionship is weird for many, sure, but it's not necessarily something that I have a problem with per se. What I do have a problem with is these girls having to put themselves in a position where they are taking on other people's shit without the resources, training, and pay that usually requires.I figure a lot of the responses in this thread will be jokes about paying for girls to play video games with you, but it sounds like these guys are looking for an outlet to express their personal feelings and chatting with someone over Fortnite is a safe space for them to do it.

Yeah I know, I'm not saying it's a perfect situation. But it's still better than not having someone to talk to at all. But "healthy".... Yeah...probably not in the long term
and every women on earth, so, yeah, pretty bad
I mean, you joke but arent there people who you can pay to unlock achievements/trophies in games for you?Can I pay them to help me get some wins in Apex? They don't have to talk.
WHAT? This is a thing? Why the hell did I get a masters when I could've just played games with sad gamer boys?
Ang getting emotional support from the kid! The clients definitely need some real therapist help if they going to these lengths to not feel lonely.Only 16 years old? I am creeped out that adult men are likely paying a teenage to play games with them.
Hard to sort out my thoughts on this.
But one thing is for sure, it's fucked up that the world has made it so that this is the only way some men can get some semblance of emotional support.
Toxic masculinity really fucks up young men.
Nah some men are just not fit to breed. They would be weeded out in a more natural environment.
You'll pay $5 to play games with us? Sign me up!
What does breeding have anything to do with emotional support that every human being should have access to but boys are denied because "boy's are supposed to tuff it out" and "boys don't cry" and "Boys shouldn't talk about their feelings"?
Do you believe the only emotional support a man should get comes from a wife/GF/mate? that's the kind of shit that fucks over both men and women, because it means men don't have any emotional support for most of their lives and then they unload the entirety of their baggage on ONE person who has to sort out a lifetime of emotional neglect.
If they had girlfriends they wouldn't need to pay women to play games with them. If you are are just talking friendship then sure everyone need that kind of emotional. Most of the people that unload their baggage as you put are those that have deemed socially unfit to date though. Are you denying that?

I know you already got banned, but holy shit at this comment. Literally the poster boy for toxic masculinity right here, this is such a disgusting thing to say. They are human beings just like you and deserve dignity and respect. I just can't even fathom saying something like this about someone.Nah some men are just not fit to breed.
