I was simply listing my knee-jerk reactions as I read. I will expound on this one, however: There are 3 billion women on the planet. Let's say 1 billion of them are within marrying age, half of them are single, etc - I don't know. Regardless, we all have standards we use to cut through that 500 million to get to the people we would actually want to have a relationship with. For
me, my standards would include "having not been a prostitute". While this might seem arbitrary to you, one has to set some sort of bar and mine would include that. It doesn't mean I wouldn't be the woman's friend or give her a helping hand, it simply means I wouldn't date her.
Think of it this way: how many girls would date a man that ~used~ to be a rapist? He did the crime/time and all that, and now he's just so Schmo she meets in the supermarket. I admit that rape is
worse than prostitution but that shouldn't be factored into the comparison because, hey, neither of them is a prostitute or a rapist anymore. There aren't many women who would "forgive people's past" enough to date that guy. It's just natural selection, of sorts.
