Thou doth protest too much
[QUOTE=PolloNegro;3075340]I have a few questions. First, who is watching the young teenage girls while their mothers are working in Parque Lleras and Parque Botero? Second, what job does a 25-year-old Venezuelan female who immigrates to Colombia have that allows her to make sufficient money to live a reasonable lifestyle? If a person cannot find any employment other than domestic workwhich only pays around 325,000 pesos weeklywhat other job will she do to provide enough money to support herself and potentially a young child?
Saying that sex work is a private or hidden entity is absolutely absurd, because it is not. These women know exactly what each of them must do to earn money. I live in the neighborhood with them, so I know who does what, who is home, and at what particular times. I know what is happening because I live in the same community with them. Stay Vigilant. PN![/QUOTE]What is your problem? I have no desire to go back and forth with you, personally I wouldn't live in Medellin for any reason. Just say your piece and keep it moving. I've given advice several years and people only half listen to it.
Shit bring in 50 phones and hand them out to hoes if you want.
Hope this Helps.
Trip.
Every Individual Makes His Own Choice!
One thing I learned a long time ago is that everyone knows how to spend money, but not everyone knows how to save it. No one can justify excessive spending simply because "they've got it"—that is just a choice an individual makes.
I refuse to let someone charge me extra just to fit in with the crowd of tourists who frequent Parque Lleras and other expensive places simply because they don't speak the language. If speaking the language and understanding the culture allows me to spend less, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
I've never been into fashion, and I've never been into spending excess money just to make myself look bigger or better. If spending the bare minimum makes me "cheap," or if buying houses during COVID-19 makes me a horrible person, so be it. But just because you shop in those expensive areas and it makes you feel good because you can afford it, that doesn't make other people the bad guys. They've simply learned the culture and are able to get the exact same thing you're spending 500,000 or 600,000 pesos on for less than $100 or 200,000 pesos.
That's a choice you are choosing to make. Like I've said before on one of my posts: it's your money, so spend it how you choose—and allow others to spend theirs how they choose. End of story. Stay vigilant. PN!
This concept is mind -blowing
[QUOTE=Kazeu;3075383]Because you can afford to pay more. Its thus your responsibility to help these girls out of poverty.[/QUOTE]Because I live in a house with three or four young women who work in these specific areas, I see exactly what they do with their money, how they spend it, and the choices they make. Just because you spend an excessive amount of money on a girl simply because you can, that does not mean you are responsible for lifting her out of poverty.
The very same girls you are spending all that money on often return to poor neighborhoods and continue to have sex for free with boyfriends who don't even work. Who is going to tell these girls that they are making irresponsible life choices, even after you make a massive "donation" just to be with them? I simply don't understand the logic that having money and the ability to pay more means it is your responsibility to change the lifestyle of a girl who is already supporting her boyfriend and his habits for free, just because you can afford her asking price. Stay Vigilant. PN!
Which one is it? Are We Responsible or Cheap?
[QUOTE=TheCane;3075371]The worst kind of cheapskate is one with money. Don't even get me started![/QUOTE][QUOTE=Kazeu;3075382]Girls give their bodies out for "free" all the time. So they already do it in "their position".[/QUOTE][QUOTE=Kazeu;3075383]Because you can afford to pay more.

You should only manage your own money and not worry about what other people do with theirs or how they spend it. But then again, we live in a world where people are so judgmental and entitled that they feel compelled to offer their input on how others spend their money.
