Is this a case of her not believing in herself? That kind of person is
a perfect target for an MLM because of the love bombing new people get.

It's amazing how that, and showing cleavage, can effect most men. I was
a nerd in high school, back before nerds were popular (let's see, I
graduated 5 years ago, right? -- yes, really, I did! stop laughing!).
I was at a top prep school where the girls from the sister school
ignored you if you weren't a football player or lived in the wrong
neighborhood so I learned quickly that if one of the girls was being
nice with me or flirting with me, it was more likely she wanted
something than that she was really flirting. While that was not fun,
it taught me to never be influenced by flirting, cleavage, or any hints
a women might give that she's interested. That's saved me a LOT of
money.

That's a good point. Even with Scamway, show people what the tapes and
other stuff is selling for on eBay so they see just what they're worth
outside the system.

I wish they'd stop using things like that as bait. It really gives a
good car a bad rep. (My Mercedes is red, so you know I'm not in
Arbonne! -- It's also a 22 year old classic, so it's not one they'd
bait people with!)
