A content creator earning £41,000 a month says men love the idea of dating an OnlyFans model, until they are actually in a relationship with one.
Sofia Black, from Newcastle, says her job has brought financial freedom but cost her love, with partners struggling to handle the reality of her career once the novelty wears off.
“Men seem to hate it as soon as you’re with them,” Sofia told NudeNewz. “Everyone says they wanna date an OF girl but no, you really don’t. They say they’re fine with it at first, but when it’s real they can’t handle it.”

Sofia started creating content back in 2019, before the platform exploded, while working shifts at McDonald’s and searching for a way out.
“I wanted freedom and I wanted the money,” she said. “I was working at McDonald’s and I just knew there had to be something better out there.”
Her gamble paid off faster than she ever expected.
“My income just skyrocketed,” she said. “I made like £41k a month. The financial side changed everything, but it’s not just about the money, I wanted freedom and that’s what I got.”
But as her earnings grew, her dating life shrank.
“It’s become great but at the same time it’s become hard to get into relationships,” Sofia said. “I’ve lost relationships over this. They think they want it, then suddenly it’s an issue.”
She says the fantasy men have about dating an OnlyFans creator rarely matches the reality of being with one in day-to-day life.
“They like the idea of it,” she said. “But when you’re actually together, it’s different. That’s when it all changes.”
The impact hasn’t stopped at romance.
Sofia claims she has also lost friends since her career took off, as people reacted differently once she was honest about what she did for a living.
“When I told people, they didn’t bat an eyelid,” she said. “Some weren’t happy, some didn’t care. I lost a lot of friends too.”
Despite that, Sofia insists she would not change her path.
She says her success comes from staying authentic in an industry she feels is becoming increasingly artificial.
“I’m really open and honest, everything about me is real,” she said. “Well maybe not my hair colour, but that’s it. No filler, nothing done. The majority of creators now are AI.”
Her approach has helped her build a loyal fanbase, with Sofia focusing on connection rather than shock value.
“I want them to feel joy,” she said. “I want good vibes, I want them to feel special.”
Ideas often come from ordinary moments, which she believes makes her content relatable.
“Some days I just have random thoughts and I’m like, oh I’m gonna do that,” she said. “That’s what people like, when it feels real.”
While she has received unusual requests, Sofia takes it in her stride, setting her own boundaries and staying in control of her work.
Looking back on her old life, the contrast is stark.
Now she controls her time, her income and her future, even if it means accepting sacrifices along the way.
“It’s not the fantasy people think it is,” she said. “But for me, it’s real freedom, and that’s what I wanted from the start.”
