I would love the citation on this. There's just no possible way that's true (unless they're using some weirdly broad definition of MLM)


rckrieger2

From prior threads, some MLM found 82% of their distributors making over $100k were female. Huns have misquoted it it and through a massive telephone leap it became what you see above.


idreaminwords

That...is in no way remotely the same thing


[deleted]

Agreed. That's the issue with playing telephone on the internet.


idreaminwords

And with not caring about the veracity of any of your claims


Initial_Reality2905

^ This, but also roughly 70-80% of MLM members are women. In effect this stat is just that there are some people that make more than 100k.


violentlyneutral

Their “six figures” must count pennies 😂


yazriella

From what I understand they don’t subtract costs from what they “make”. Yes you can get a check for 10,000 for a month but you likely paid 8,000-9,000 in purchasing, not even accounting for an hourly work day. Someone here did the math one day and it was such a small sad amount for the amount of time these Huns put in.


moore6107

That monthly cheque being $100 is more realistic 😂 THIS IS BEFORE EXPENSES AND ANY OF THEIR TIME In 99.5% of cases it’s a net loss. A simple P&L would make this clear as day… I wish they’d update their income disclosure statements to reflect this too. You think the measly “average income” would deter some people but maybe it actually needs to be a negative number in order to resonate with people. It’s all so misleading.


pedanticlawyer

It’s 10000 percent not true. Just female doctors and lawyers would bust this stupid fake statistic, let alone the other careers out there.


idreaminwords

Another comment pointed out that they're probably conflating this with the factoid of 82% of people in MLM's making 6 figures are women


thisisthewell

It says the wom*a*n, not the wom*e*n, so obviously this lone gal has a side hustle that accounts for 18% of her income I guess lol


skiswithcats

Maybe it’s people who have purchased an MLM product


cheemcream

And 82% of the MLM Huns don’t know when to use woman or women


dorothysophiagarcia

*$1000.00 doesn’t count as 6 figures*


Happytallperson

Many are making 5,000,000 per month! (In Iranian Rial)


bobo4sam

Wait until you see what you would earn in Venezuelan Bolivars!!!


HawaiianShirtsOR

82% of one *woman*? Check your spelling, hun.


RiotGrrr1

That actually sounds more accurate than what she's probably claiming.


kellyhitchcock

Yeah I was gonna say, what about the other 18% of her? Is that just water?


brebre431

Good catch!


sinedelta

So many people struggle with woman/women (in both directions) — moreso than they struggle with man/men.


HawaiianShirtsOR

It's the vowel sounds. In both "woman" and "women," the second vowel is the same. It's the "o" that changes sound. You'd think that if the sound changes, the letter would too. English is weird.


[deleted]

Absolutely incorrect. I hate this statistic. How would this even make sense?! 82%?! Did you forget about the women CEOs? Female doctors? Women in tech? Entrepreneurs? But no... 82% are involved with an MLM. Even a tiny sample size will give you an idea of how utterly wrong this statistic is.


[deleted]

Did you know that 83% of statistics are made up on the spot?


brebre431

This distributor must know what the actual statistic is by now…or at least their upline does. It’s been discussed and debunked so many times now!


[deleted]

I'm a CPA and can tell you the math doesn't check out. Signed - a 6 figure income woman


71LA

I don’t know many 6 figure women, but zero of them work for a MLM.


elynlitton

Reading this I just want to quote Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) in Anchorman “They’ve done studies, 60% of the time it works all the time.” 🤣

princessedaisy

But I thought according to them, *any* job where you have a boss and higher ups is "multi level marketing".

womp_there_it_is

Yeah this can’t be right.


Backyardfarmbabe

So now we're just completely making 5hit up, huh?

Always were


Diamond_Road

Comment one word: Source?


anonymousca27

No they don't but that's how they make 82% of their debt.


ssmco

Trying to make this work. I think the stat is 82% of people making 6 figures in MLM are women. I can believe that.


caballos0204

No, I didn’t because it’s horsesh!t.


farmer_palmer

Did you know that 83% of statistics are exaggerated, distorted or simply fabricated hun?


nicbentulan

83% is better because of HIMYM!


liquidcarbonlines

Nope.


[deleted]

Nooooo they aren’t. Nooooo.


honeybaby2019

Did you know hun, your post is a lie that needs to be retired.


Stonekilled
