FDS is mainly about developing an LTR with an HVM. I understand that, but I've had a lot of fun and gotten a lot of “benefits” 💰 recently targeting LVM's purely for financial gain. I'd like to do a lot more of that and do it better, so I posted a question about it on Diabla. Someone who’s there and on FDS assured me my question would be OK for FDS and would get more responses here because FDS has so many more members so:

What are some effective ways to learn a man’s insecurities and unmet needs, the kind of things you can use to target him for his money? Once I know a man’s vulnerabilities, I’ve done pretty well getting money out of him, but it’s not always easy to figure out what those are.

In some cases, it's obvious what kinds of buttons to push to get a man to open his wallet. For example, a guy sitting all alone in a dance club looking at the women going by with a hopeless expression is going to be very appreciative of one who tells him how hot he is and that she can’t imagine why he’s there all alone. A single father with a demanding job and two kids will be very grateful to a woman who can put up with how little time he has for her and who can help him forget about all the stresses in his life. Some guys, though, seem totally put together on the surface.

Their insecurities and unmet needs are harder to figure out. I’ve only adopted this kind of exploitative approach to men recently. I’m hoping some women who are more experienced with it might have some ideas on how to work a target whose vulnerabilities aren’t obvious. Of course, I always have my eyes open for HVM’s, but in the meantime I’m going to get everything I can out of LVM’s who deserve to be cleaned out!
