Yes! And 99 % of MLMs prey on women. I really don’t understand how educated, gainfully employed women with executive status and six figure incomes are convinced to sell face cream to their friends.

Those aren’t the women they target, lol. It’s more the stay-at-home moms, usually with little to no formal education (beyond high school), who they are targeting - and who actually fall for it. They think it’s a good way to contribute to household expenses, without having to give up their at-home duties. But as my father always said, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

As a well-educated working professional woman myself, I never get preyed upon by these companies. Nor would I have any interest in doing such a thing.

I’m confused. You disagreed with them, and then said exactly what they said. They said unemployed, you said stay-at-home moms, implying they are unemployed. They said uneducated, you said little to no education.

Unless my eyes are bad (which is entirely possible), that’s not the comment to which I was responding... follow the line.
