Oh puh-leeze... are his followers so stupid that they think sex workers are only found on street corners? They hang out in hotel lobbies, bars, pool halls, etc. They find their customers more readily and men can pick them up with less risk of getting arrested or having someone they know see them prowling the streets.
It's also good for the men who want "the girlfriend experience," the guy who needs the girl to pretend she's interested in him as a person and aren't just for a quick lay... and we all know Lloyd needs his ego stroked as much as his mushrom manhood.
I barely skimmed his story because he makes me want to both puke and punch his face but suppose it's true that he randomly met a sex worker in a pool hall... she was there for fun and not business? And he just happened to "date" her for weeks?
A sex worker was flirting with him because she truly liked him and didn't see him as a fat ugly lonely foreigner with money to spend? Really? She settled for dinners and drinks and not professional services?
Not to mention, sex workers typically need to answer to their handlers. Rarely are they independent contractors especially in Thailand. No way would a handler let her date some guy and not conduct business and get all the money they can.
His followers are the second dumbest fucking people on the planet, right behind JWs who really think they're getting a pet panda any day now.
