Women claim to be mistresses of the art of manipulating men



In the grips of recession most people are having to forget their material desires. But a new breed of women dubbed 'rinsers', are taking to the internet to find rich men who will fund their expensive shopping habits.

Featured in a Channel 4 documentary 'Sex, Lies and Rinsing Guys' Jeanette Worthington, Danica Thrall and Hollie Capper reveal how they use their feminine charms to get thousands of pounds worth of goods from wealthy Twitter and Facebook followers.

They rarely meet their admirers in person and merely offer virtual friendship in exchange for designer products . As 33-year-old Liverpudlian Jeanette notes: 'I do nice things for my friends and I don’t expect them to have sex with me.’

‘Guys have all kinds of fantasies and things that they find a bit of a turn on. And I think one of them is buying gifts for girls,' she says.
