i actually feel bad for this girl. is her self-esteem so incredibly low that she thinks its a good idea to SELL herself on the internet like a prostitute upgrade? seriously try a loan. i'd also like to meet the mother of this girl.

and fox news is the most biased television station ever.

of WA said "And really, her reputation is smashed". I guess she believes her reputation has no value either. We'll call this discount a "mistake of youth".

Prostituition and compensated dating have been around for as long as women have been in higher education, this is just a novel approach. In another news story she said "It's shocking that men will pay so much for someone's virginity, which isn't even prized so highly anymore." Considering that she thought to offer, the number of responses and the high bids she's recieved (see internet), it IS still highly prized and she knows it. In most places she's already committed a crime by the offering of sex for money. Will she get the female discount on charges layed? (no pun intended) I wonder how the woman's groups will spin this to make her look powerless, oppressed and exploited. My guess is that this idea grew legs and she will not go through with it. She will make her money touting the value of virginity and telling us 'that's how I planned it'.

You honestly dont need to go to such lengths to get money for college. Someone like her would obviously have some sort of job opportunity, and with the money she already has she could attended a few classes. I don't care why she would do that, whatever the cause, if you have a free choice you should never give up something like that. And really, her reputation is smashed. I'm just wondering what college is going to accept someone like that.

Shut the hell up it's a free country. FoxNews says it's legal.

Too ugly to command those rumored prices.

This has already been done, by a male, and he was arrested for it. I cannot remember where he lived, so I do not know if prostitution is legal there, but if I remember correctly, they said that it did not matter where he lived because the transaction was done over the internet and is still illegal. This means that "Natalie" is doing something illegal.

And I have to say, why use a fake name when your face is all over the internet? I never understood that..people changing their names on tv shows but not hiding their faces. People are still going to know who you are, honey. If you think so little of yourself that you feel it necessary to sell your body, then I think you need help. I am a college student too, and I pay for school with loans and grants. I don't have to be a prostitute to pay for school.
