pimps will rely upon the same human frailties as cults do...it starts with the love. affection, and belonging-ness that the woman did not get in her life...look she has friends, friends that will look out for you, then the incremental commitments to acts...so then slowly as the dynamic changes = like the frog in the cold water that is slowly starting to boil - they are in this psychologically controlled situation. Many abused woman (married or similar relationships) find themselves in the same place - and to an outsider, you cannot understand how someone can stick around under those circumstances...but that is how it goes down.
Tricked?

I have been meaning to watch that documentary since I have Netflix. I have unfortunately met a few women who have pimps in this industry. From what they have explained to me in their minds they see it as a relationship. "The guy takes care of them and protects them." It's almost like talking to a brick wall to try and get these women to see things differently. It's very sad, usually these women have very low self esteem. However from what I have seen in this industry the majority of women do this willingly. This of course is just my opinion, I could be very sheltered from the harsh realities of the sex industry.
That or he's been jaded because something unfortunate happened to him to cause the bitterness.
When someone keeps referencing a lack of empathy for "guys like him", that's usually the reason.
Well said Chloe, as well as your distinction of a D/S association vs. an exploitative one involving a pimp.
Also, kudos to the gent who mentioned Stockholm Syndrome in trying to explain why such women, who I believe are victims, stay with the pimps, or do things, even bad stuff, for them.
This is you projecting your own insecurities on the situation. If she rejects you there could be tons of reasons...... may be it is you, maybe it is her who knows. But to jump to this extreme that these botched just want a bad boy biz is just bull. Being nice or desirable doesn't mean you have to be a puss or an assholes.
Great point. The same type of psychology gets used all over the place be it cults or even sleazy sales tactics. Most people have probably been conned in their life and basically it is a simple illustration of what is going on in the pimp dynamic.
