Female led relationships discussion

WARNING - Potentially HOT:jumping0039: topic. Please try and keep it a friendly, informed debate. I get how ProDommes operate; they offer a service for which they receive payment. I DON’T understand Financial Domination though.

1. Why are some men content to empty their wallets for women (!?) whom they might never meet, or even talk to on the phone or webcam?
2. Why do FinDommes seem to feel no guilt at all? My general musings/ramblings… I suppose if someone is happy to part with cash over a pretty picture, and the woman behind it wants plenty of freebies, it’s a win/win. Perhaps it represents one of the ultimate forms of control. Maybe collecting money/gifts IS actually a kind of service! Supply and demand. Lately I’ve noticed a massive rise in cashpigs and Princesses online. They all seem to get along happily, with the Princesses raking in the dough. Does it take a certain type of person to be able to gold-dig? I just can’t wrap my head around it! I have a few wishlists because people ask if I’d like something for birthdays/christmas/etc., or since we’ve played together at a club. I’m not very good at accepting gifts (even from pets!) so the wishlist is a “distant” method for me. If someone buys something, it’s because they wanted to. I take a percentage of my pet’s wages, but we live together and have a house to run and bills to pay. I don’t go off splurging it on kinky boots (much as he probably wishes I would!) I used to be materialistic. When I was with my (hopefully soon-to-be ex) husband, I could have whatever I wanted. I went shopping for fun, left the bags on the dining room table and would return two days later thinking “oh, I don’t remember buying that!” I had numerous items in my wardrobe with labels still attached. My “aha!” moment came when he was away for Valentines, and I set my heart on a beautiful pink sapphire and diamond bracelet. It wasn’t cheap. I knew he hadn’t bought me anything and I’d hinted repeatedly about this damn bracelet for ages. So I rang him and said “I’m in front of that bracelet, I want it for Valentines, can I buy it?” He said yes, I bought it, and realized it meant absolutely nothing to me. I still like nice things, I still want to make this house a home, and I still need to pay the bills, so I’d lie if I said money wasn’t important… but how do people get off on being bestowed with gifts 24/7? I have no problem with the whole FinDomme thing, I just can’t understand the psychology.
