Feet, Money, and Dating Apps: The Untold Hustle

Text Us a Gem or Vent

We've returned with an addendum episode to address what was missing from our previous conversation about online dating – the hustle side of the equation. When most people think of dating apps, they imagine romantic connections, awkward first dates, and the search for meaningful relationships. But there's a parallel economy thriving in these digital spaces that few discuss openly.

From enterprising massage therapists advertising their legitimate services to credit repair specialists looking for clients, dating platforms have become unexpected marketing channels for entrepreneurs. Users are openly stating "not here for dating" in bold letters, transparently using these spaces to grow their businesses and find customers rather than romantic partners.

Our conversation takes a particularly revealing turn when we explore the foot fetish economy flourishing on these platforms. We candidly break down how this niche market operates – from the pricing structure ($6-10 per picture or video) to the potential monthly earnings (up to $5,000) for minimal time investment. This prompts an honest discussion about the ethical considerations, spiritual implications, and personal boundaries involved in this type of content creation.

The episode highlights the fundamental difference between the hustler and healer perspectives that define our podcast. While one host sees the entrepreneurial opportunity and potential financial freedom, the other considers the energetic exchange and spiritual implications. It's this tension that creates a nuanced conversation about modern hustle culture, digital boundaries, and how people are adapting to economic realities in creative ways.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
In dealing with daily life, we come across two types
of people who seek to changelives Hustlers, who are about
making it in life no matter what, and the healers, who dedicate
their time and energy to helpingthe collective.
These are their representatives.

Styles (00:16):
I know what you thought you was going to hear.

Blsd Jess (00:18):
But this ain't that, where the grind meets growth.

Styles (00:22):
This is Hustle Heal.

Blsd Jess (00:26):
Yeah, we fuckedal.
What's up, guys?
We are back.

Styles (00:27):
Yeah, we fucked up.
We fucked up on the lastepisode.

Blsd Jess (00:29):
We didn't fuck up, because we're back here getting
it together.
We didn't fuck that up, we justneeded to add an addendum.

Styles (00:34):
I wouldn't be back if we didn't fuck up.
No, all right.

Blsd Jess (00:37):
But that's the accountability that we have.
So cool we we saw where we hada little stumble.
We may fall, but we get back up.
So last episode we talked abouthow just swiping right, swiping
left, just the challenges,benefits, just the experience of
online dating.

Styles (00:56):
What is deep and in right.

Blsd Jess (00:58):
But we did not, since we're hustling and healing
right.
We talked about the challengesand all the benefits.
We did not talk about thehustle.
So, really quick, I wanted tocome back and circle back and
talk about some of the hustlesthat I've seen on online dating.
It's very interesting, so um apositive way that I've seen
somebody use online dating, umwere men that were advertising

(01:22):
their services Time out.

Styles (01:24):
There's a dark side to this, absolutely.

Blsd Jess (01:26):
Okay, go ahead, go ahead.

Styles (01:29):
I was very specific when I said I know that's what I'm
Positive ways.

Blsd Jess (01:33):
Go ahead, do your thing that I've seen that I
would like to put out there andhope that people would pick up
and keep going.
But I've seen men use it forentrepreneurship.
So I've seen men that werelooking for clients for massage
therapy.
They might be selling othershit on the side, I don't know,
but on the bio they puttestimonials.

(01:54):
I don't know how true it is,because they mama or auntie,
that a girlfriend could havewrote it, but they were
recruiting.
They had like appropriatebusiness models up there and it
was like, okay, thismotherfucker, he ain't wanting.
To date, we see what yourintention is for this not to run
game.
Or it may be to run game, butmen have illegitimate what.

Styles (02:14):
So we've all seen the massage.
Hold on stop.
We've seen the massage guyRight With the baby oil.
Yes, you know, Chicks in thethongs and big girls in the
thongs.
It's the big sexy girls, nodisrespect.
You know, they laying on theirstomachs and they got their

(02:37):
thighs or whatever, and they inbetween their legs and yeah, see
, I wouldn't pay for that, but Ijust seen it up there as
appetizing.

Blsd Jess (02:44):
So they're not up there trying to date.
They may be up there doingother things, but I've just seen
them use it for businesspurposes.
I don't know what they'retrying to do.
I'm just saying what the biosays, because they will say not
up here for dating business,like they will have it like big
old bull letters that they'rejust looking.
I don't respond, I just wipe,wipe and keep it.

(03:04):
Wow.

Styles (03:05):
As long as ballers don't advertise happy endings.
They just ask.
You gotta ask.
It's the other side of it.

Blsd Jess (03:14):
Waffle House does have a whole menu that you just
gotta know about.

Styles (03:17):
I didn't know about that .

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Really.

Blsd Jess (03:20):
I get chicken, eggs and cheese and grits.
Nobody has ever seen that onYouTube.
Is that right?
It's the fucking bomb.
But I've also seen people.
I've seen like credit repair.
I've seen people like saying,if you need, like a car.
I've seen all type of thingsfor people to use, because this
is what they're using theplatform for.
Instead of dating, they'reusing it for a hustle.

Styles (03:43):
Oh, you're talking about like bumble or tender or
something like that.
They're using it to sell cars.

Blsd Jess (03:48):
They're using it to bring business, and okay, they
are and I respect it.
But I've also seen the otherside of it.
I I personally know peoplethere we go.

Styles (03:59):
That's the deeper talker side.
Let's, let's go.

Blsd Jess (04:03):
I've also known of people to request favors, such
as feet pictures and sellingsocks.

Styles (04:12):
No, no, no, Hold on, stop.
This is what I need to know.
I don't understand the footfetish thing.
I don't understand it.
I've never understood it.
It's not like looking at apartner ladies.
It's not like looking at a fatass, right, or some beautiful
tattoos.
I'm just gonna say it like thatbecause I don't want to be
offensive or anything like that.
I probably that's fine, okay,cool, so boom.

(04:36):
You know, it's not like that.
I don't want to look atsomebody's knuckles attached to
their ankles.
I want to do that, that how wedoing.
Why is that?
You get any?

Blsd Jess (04:47):
requests.
I would never lie to you, right?

Styles (04:50):
Yeah, I have Okay, did you?

Blsd Jess (04:54):
fulfill it.
Why you got some reason?
Because that's it.
Listen, that's a eat.

Styles (04:58):
Listen, you want to send somebody your dirty ass feet?
Send them your dirty ass feet.
I have sent eat this before,yeah.
But why are we even ashamed tosay that though?

Blsd Jess (05:06):
because I don't understand the fetish either,
because I just did it for theyeah, it's not like.
Yeah, I'm like, yo jess you outhere sending nudes, then you
like and I just, I just did itfor the bread, but I've asked
personally.
There was money attached tothis transaction?
How?

Styles (05:24):
much.
I'm a hustler, I'm a hustler Iset myself up for this.
It's so interesting, I want toknow.

Blsd Jess (05:39):
So when I first started, when.
I first was asked.
It was for pictures of my feetin a pose right and I would get
like $6 a picture.

Styles (05:53):
Were you $6 a picture.

Blsd Jess (05:55):
Yes.

Styles (05:56):
You put that shit in sports mode, right.
When you take the picture, youtake like 12 pictures.

Blsd Jess (06:01):
So then I was asked for a video and I was like a
video of what?
And I can't explain it, it'snot my thing, but of me dangling
of a shoe on my foot and I gotpaid ten dollars for a minute
video.
But dangling a heel or a flaton my foot, I'm doing business.

(06:25):
I've been asked and I justdon't feel comfortable.
It's not my lane, because Ijust don't feel right.
What am I doing this for?

Styles (06:37):
Yeah, alright, listen, ladies, if you, first of all.
My stance is this If you're alady, you should never be broke,
period.
That's not to talk about youunderstand, Not that you should
have loose morals and all ofthat in order to get paid, but
if you are a lady, because youdon't have loose morals.

Blsd Jess (06:52):
And I'm not knocking nobody that actually likes to
keep stuff.

Styles (06:55):
I don't have loose morals.
There we go.
Now go ahead.

Blsd Jess (06:57):
But I felt morally troubled.
By feet Let me ask you aquestion.

Styles (07:06):
When you go to the beach , you wear socks.
No, I'll tell you why.

Blsd Jess (07:11):
Because it's fulfilling somebody's fantasy,
Like whatever they have in theirmind you're allowing somebody
to use that to fulfill whateverneed that they're having.

Styles (07:21):
And you're not my man.

Blsd Jess (07:21):
I don't know what you're using this for, honestly,
and it's spiritual, whateverneed that they're having,
transforming self-energy, right,you're not my man.
I don't know what you're usingthis for.
Honestly, and as spiritual as Iam, I feel like having that
extension tied to somebody.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
I'm not a transactional person.

Blsd Jess (07:35):
I'm sorry, I'm not a transactional person.
If I want to do it, just let medo it.

Styles (07:40):
Ladies, hit me in the comments.
You want to know how to set upthis whole situation with the
feet.
You don't even have to showyour face, you don't even have
to show anything above yourankle.
You sound like my friend?
Yeah, just hit me up, I'll setthe whole shit up for you for a
small fee, like, yeah, we'regoing to transfer this dirt and

(08:02):
this grime, that energy.

Blsd Jess (08:06):
I don't even know how we got here, but I've seen
people when the fuck is my phone?

Styles (08:10):
I need my calculator.

Blsd Jess (08:12):
I've seen people utilize online dating for
entrepreneurial reasons.
So if you want to be a hustlerand you're really not into the
dating part, you can use onlinedating to help further your
business ventures.

Styles (08:28):
So you get 25 pictures at $10 a day.
Ladies, oh, pardon videos.

Blsd Jess (08:35):
The customer can ask you for whatever they want.

Styles (08:37):
What site was this?
We need to give them theresources.

Blsd Jess (08:43):
Wasn't a site.
Oh my God, All my god all right, never mind.

Styles (08:46):
Anyway, back to business .
Your boy knows how to set it up, I will set it up for you.
Or nominal fee, of course,right, or even commission.
We could do a commission base,but then I would have to control
the currency might cost you alittle a little bit it might
cost you a lot well, this iseither way, it's gonna cost you

(09:06):
or whatever.
Uh, 250, and this is why she'sthe healing part and I'm the
hustler.
So look, this is the thing 250,right, you ain't even got to do
it all.
We can do it like fucking fivedays a week.
Ew, that's rent that is right.
12 50, that is definitely apart-time 25 pictures a day of

(09:28):
your feet, like for five days aweek, right?
So we do that.
That's 12, 50 right times four.
I hate that we're here.
Oops, let me do this.
That's five bands a month, amonth.

Blsd Jess (09:46):
Put somebody crusty ass feet there's all type of
sites that you can go on.
You can go on the love fetishsites and see what people are
asking for.
I have spoken to a real livepimp, real live real live.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
He lives in Detroit.

Blsd Jess (10:01):
Swear to god life don't spare me no experiences.
I just spoken to a pimp and hehad women that he would pay
their rent.

Styles (10:11):
Yeah.

Blsd Jess (10:11):
And all the money he would.
What's the OnlyFans?

Styles (10:15):
Mm-hmm.

Blsd Jess (10:16):
He would set up their OnlyFans and he would pay for
them to get their nails andtheir feet done every day, like
the polish change, and he wouldlet the dudes request whatever
color they wanted and whateverthey wanted.
He would pay for it.
But whatever they made onOnlyFans, he got it Because he's
sponsoring them Right, becauseit's tied to his bank account.
Right.

Styles (10:34):
So then it goes to him and he breaks them off.

Blsd Jess (10:37):
So they don't get none of the money they make
online.

Styles (10:39):
They just get the lifestyle.

Blsd Jess (10:40):
They get the lifestyle that he paid us.

Styles (10:43):
Right, and he offers them.

Blsd Jess (10:44):
He offers them.

Styles (10:45):
Nothing that you come like.
If you come to me and you askme for something, I'm like huh
Right, you're going to get whatI give you Right?

Blsd Jess (10:51):
Yeah, but he paid the rent, paid the like definitely
pimp behavior but they ain'ttouching, they ain't see no
money.

Styles (11:00):
That's true, not my lifestyle, not the thing that I
do, but at the end of the day,though, I will take a nominal
fee.
We'll call it a commission.
I'll take shit.
5%.

Blsd Jess (11:10):
I mean, when you move into an apartment, you got to
pay a nominal deposit.

Styles (11:14):
I mean you do, but you ain't got to, you know.

Blsd Jess (11:16):
Well, you ain't get it back you sold for it, right?

Styles (11:19):
Well, you might get it back, depending on how the
condition you're leaving inleave it in.

Blsd Jess (11:24):
But anyway, he's not a pimp, he's willing to offer up
a professional service to helpyou extend your entrepreneurial
endeavors.
