ItsMe07 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi Everyone, This question is mostly directed toward the women on here. If you were dating a man for a couple months and he seems nice, would you still date him after he had mentioned to you casually that he has a couple friends who are prostitutes, and that he either regularly or has before gotten a portion of their money for "protecting" or waiting for them? I ask this question because I was dating a man who told me this. I don't know if he does it regularly, but since he has told me, I haven't really seen him. So, I was just wondering what others would do if the person they were dating told them this. Thank you......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what you are looking for.Anyone who ''protects'' prostitutes would be kind of familiar or exposed to a seedier kind of lifestyle and would likely participate in that kind of lifestyle.

newwave Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Nope, he's a pimp. And likely he'll try to recruit you. I know, years ago I fell for a "nice" guy who later on revealed he was a con artist and pimp. Luckily I got out but he still scammed money off me. Took me years to trust again.

peanutbutterandjelly Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 no. Even if he never tries to recruit you, he is involved with some shady illegal business. he might be a good guy, just trying to make a buck or two, but I honestly would RUN and don't look back. that might just be the tip of the iceberg. A lot of guys who are into that are also theives, drug dealers, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabee Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I don't think that's technically a pimp. I would probably not date him. I'm not sure if that's illegal or anything (?) but it is shady, and I can't imagine my life intersecting with someone who's life intersects with prostitution. It's simply so far from my current world that I don't see a person involved with that fitting with me and my values. And I second what Bruins said about the seedier kind of lifestyle, and what milkandhoney said about it possibly being the tip of the iceberg.

digger11 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 prostitution is normal, oldest profession, should be legalized, and is totally moral if the person is completely consenting. i would ask him for more details, if I knew the whole situation and that he wasn't a pimp then yeah.... however most girls who don't have a pimp... don't need protection because they are 'high class' and either escorts or normal women (college students, or someone with an OK job who wants to supplement their income) and they have completely normal lives... smart with their money etc. most girls working in the sex industry are not wanting to fork over there cash just for someone to pick them up or make sure they make it home at a certain hour...

RelaxByWater84 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I would run far, far, far away from him. He might be a drug dealer and something might happen to you. The safest thing would be to make a clean break right now. I would be afriad that he would hit you like I've heard many pimps beating their prostitutes and worse. Someone outside the law, I wouldn't trust them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriarRose Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 No, I wouldn't. I'm pretty open-minded (having friends that were prostititues would not be a dealbreaker), but the pimp thing? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
