This is just my take on this, but it is more important how you TREAT them than what you CALL them. another way of looking at it is - do you want her to consider you a client or a john?Ok, no offense intended but, now you are rationalizing?
Remember, actions speak loder than words.

Consider a white woman who drinks 12 wine glasses a day versus a young black man who drinks 12 40s in a brown paper bag a day.
The white woman can says she's not an alcoholic since she's...you know, a wine connoisseur and she's just tasting different grapes from all over the world along with their paired tapas.
Right, whatever. Wine connoisseur or wino, they are both alcoholics. Originally Posted by Skip_8

The impact od calling someone a "whore" "prostitute" etc. depends on HOW you mean it. It is kind of like the "N" word in that regard.Not really,Merriam Websters Definition is below.

You are saying that she essentially has sex for money, a very now taboo thing in most of this country.I could care less about the semantics...really...because it is how someone thinks of you in their mind that dictates their actions. I feel appreciated for my intellect, wit and beauty. I believe that I could snag an attractive leawood man tomorrow and blend into johnson county housewife lala land...and never have to worry about a dime.
How that stigma carries over to this board is interesting. No one wants to be called names, even if they are accurate. Remember, when a person is mad at someone else said person will throw insults hopping at least one of them will do some damage and hurt.
