In theory it is easy to make money that way but not easy on your emotional wellbeing at the very least. Even if a man doesn't take advantage, you might think one day that sex is all you're good for.
Well lets think about that a minute.

Prostitution is the most dangerous profession in the country.
Here are a few random stats.
Workers get physically attacked about once per month.
58% report violent abuse at the hands of their clients.
80% report wanting out of the industry.
Murder rate is high
40% are former child prostitutes
Many are homeless and addicted to drugs
They often lose custody of their children
risk of disease
its illegal and subject to arrest
You are looked down on and get no respect from anyone

Most prostitutes are not high end hookers and either way you have to give your pimp a cut of your money.

You know why men solicit prostitutes. Because they are often nasty men and want nasty things most women, including their wives, wont do.

Very true I suppose I was confusing prostitution with a stripper. Sometimes I confuse the two but I don't know why.
I've thought about becoming a stripper many times in desperation but it's probably only a "more glamourous" and legal version of prostitution. Not as dangerous but probably still subjects you to shady characters so another example of a job that is probably easy for a woman to get but is not easy to subject yourself to.

Well one would have to be attractive, I imagine sliding down a pole upside down and naked takes some skill. You need some dance moves and grinding your exposed lady bits in strange drunk mens laps and faces cant be too easy.

How bout get some education or training and get a job that doesn't require nudity or sex.

It is only HIS child if the mother needs his money, wants to screw him, or whatever.

It's a moot point because if you're a man you don't know what it's like to be a woman and vice versa.
How about this... life is hard... man, woman, or other.
this is what i was thinking...being a woman is all i know so i'm gonna go with yes, it's easier for me to be a woman!

In the Ask A Manager comments section, someone described a conversation with a coworker where he said, "women have it so easy. If they want free time off of work, they can just have a baby."

I dont even know what to say to that.
It is really discouraging that some men actually don't have the cognitive ability to understand reality.

I guarantee you that sex is *not* needed for day to day survival. I should know since I've voluntarily lived without it for a decade now (whereas I previously had plenty of it). I don't need it and I don't miss it. Sex is needed for the general survival of humanity only. Of course a male professor with blue balls is going to proclaim that we need sex to survive day to day.
Maslow's research and findings were not gender-specific; they included both men and women.

I went to college but people consider the one I went to a joke so I didn't move on to a higher degree. I would go to a prestigious one but I don't want to end up with more debt and I feel like I would be starting over..like none of the hard work I did in the college mattered because of where the degree was from.

Also I have thought about training but that costs money and I'm pretty broke right now.
