My wife has never actively sold the stuff but a few years back she found a makeup that some mlm sold. She really liked it and the girl she bought it from convinces her to be a “distributor” even though she was only buying for herself because she would get a discount.

Fast forward 6 months and my wife got a 1099 from that company and it cost my another $200 to do my taxes with 1099. It ended up costing us more than she saved. I told her never again.

I helped a lady change a tire across the street from TJ Ribs years ago right after I graduated from LSU. She was in her late 30's / early 40's and was an OT 8.5 with big fake knockers. Smoking hot. She asked for my number and reached out a few days later and asked me to meet her at the Embassy Suites for a drink. I thought I was about to get laid. I got all showered and dressed nice and show up to find her there with her husband.

Not discouraged, I am thinking he wants to watch and she is hot enough that 22 year old me is OK with that. Turns out they try to get me to join Amway. Hopes dashed and I learned to hate that damn scam. Ruined my dreams.

Don't know if this applies, but I had to sit through an hour long vacuum demonstration for my sister to get a free 8,000 dollar vacuum cleaner. That was fun. Laughed my arse off when they told me the price of that rainbow.

0 as a seller, but she was a customer of one that actually had a decent (although I imagine overpriced) product

My wife use to buy Mary Kay from her cousin. Apparently a bunch of her female relatives came together as some sort of makeup “collective” where this one cousin sold all the others their make up at cost. Pretty sure they quit doing it though.

The frick is an MLM?


OP is asking how many threesomes other OT'ers ladies have been in with two men. Guess OP is trying to justify that his lady having been in a lot of these is common/normal.

Multi level Marketing. Basically a legal pyramid scheme.

This is the only one my wife ever dabbled in. She hosted a Facebook party, no clue how that works, but somehow we ended up with like $700 in free merchandise from what she sold. Their stuff isn't half bad. She got suckered into it because one of her friends did it and she doesn't like to tell her friends no. But it turned out alright. She knows I'm 100% opposed to pyramid scheme businesses though and hasn't done another one. That's one of the fastest ways to run off your friends is by trying to sell them something perpetually.

None, unless you include law school. Which isn't all that different.

Anyone as fascinated with MLMs and the culture surrounding them as I am should listen to "the dream" podcast.

What? You don’t want her being a #bossbabe?! Never sold MLM, never will. Only MLM stuff I buy is some skincare stuff from my friend that sells Mary Kay. She still tries to get me to sell but hellllll no. I have a cousin that has sold so many different MLM stuff. Same thing for each one….excited fb posts about “this new opportunity” then posts about the MLM non stop….then all of a sudden no more posts when she realizes she ain’t making $$$ selling it.

Bro don’t act like you’re better than mlm people, you fell for the biggest mlm of all. You shilled the vax on here and you didn’t even get paid for it
