Doesn't explain it for me. I knew a few SBs in college and they would have never met some rando in a park at 3am. There is usually a "courtship" phase where you go on fancy dates and see if you can come to an arrangement, or not. You might even have a few dates without sex. Then you move into the high ranks and get the apartments, jewelry, trips, etc. No money meeting a stranger in crappy clothes at 3am off a flight is not generally part of this "lifestyle." It makes you look like a pro and cheap, which is not what these guys want since it breaks their delusion that the arrangement isn't really prostitution. |
Yeah, that is gross. But I will about bet you that her first meeting with that man wasn't in some dark alleyway. |
You articulated this well. THIS is what I don't understand. Something else was up with her. |
I'm guessing she felt she "knew" him after talking to him on line for awhile. And the timing is probably just b/c that's when her flight came in. And maybe she was short on $$ at the time. The PP who mentioned that all naive teen/20-somethings are prey -- I agree. I think back to the stupid things I did being out on the streets of DC after the bars closed and not having enough $$ for a cab, so walking in dicey areas at dicey times of the morning -- we were just lucky. One time a cab driver pulled over to give us a ride even though we didn't have money for the fare (and he already had another fare in his cab) b/c he must have thought it was too dangerous for me and my friend to be out walking. It's sad that women have to live like they are being hunted ...

I don't think that you can even compare walking home drunk from a bar to agreeing to meet a male stranger in a dark park, alone at 3am. Yes, you were taking foolish risks like most of us did back in the day. But I can not ever see myself being so dumb as to do what Mckenzie did UNLESS I was feeling desperate for some reason. |
I'm not comparing ML's situation and what I did. I'm just agreeing about prey and predators. |
This was in Salt Lake City. Relevance? |
Right, bc PC is so far from SLC. That's like saying "this happened in DC, not Manassas." It's a distinction without a difference in these situations. |
According to the Google, 41 minutes by car. So the difference between DC and Frednecksburg. |
No because the real money there owns in both. If not owns, spends in both. |
