So, where would live, I'm talking about settling down and raising kids...and having a job? out of all the places
Yes.
If i met a good woman there and would get a decent job i would easily settle down in Netherlands (seems like dream), not necessarily in Amsterdam, even though that might be a real option. Honestly it's not the doomsday city people make it out to be. (Mostly the ones who haven't been there). Yes you can be high all day every day and fuck hookers if you choose to, but you can do that ANYWHERE.
Whether legalized or not, you didn't catch my point---the main reason why women are hookers are to either support themselves (family) or to spport a habit, prostitution is a woman's "hustle", just like drug dealing is a man's "hustle". Personally i think it should be legal no matter where you are, but in a extreme moralistic country like the US, you have the bible thumpers claiming that it breaks up families, etc....
I got your point.
I know that some or even most do it to support their families or to get money for drugs, etc. But there are also many that do it, because they CHOOSE to, weird as it sounds. When i was a bouncer i talked to some prostitutes and most weren't fucked up, most were like regular women... And in many ways they are regular women. Fact remains that if you are going to be a prostitute the Netherlands is hands down the "best" place for it. The girls are protected, they pay taxes, they get regular check ups and they even have a place in the
Dutch Parliament. In many ways they are safer than some construction workers, for example. Prostitution can bring problems, but if some country has made it work, it's Netherlands. Of course no one should be forced to do anything they don't want, but the prostitutes i have spoken with in my time seemed quite content and at least at the moment when i spoke with them they weren't high. Also there's a MASSIVE difference in some runaway kid on smack living in the street's of Detroit than some ADULT woman doing it as "regular" job.
