amberjack1234 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I just saw this and thought that it was a nice story. Pretty girls ever where in china doing everything. http://www.chinasmack.com/pictures/candied...street-peddler/ Larry Link to comment
david_dawei Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Two issues to consider: 1. Her need to make money2. Whether she manipulates #1 in some way For #2, I tend to think not.... but it shows that she becomes an object instead of a person too quickly. Link to comment
amberjack1234 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) David I think that the old saying here is "sex sells" has been true and probably will remain true. I feel reasonably sure that she is aware of the reason that she has done so well. Of course I am sure that she needs the money.

Kyle Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I don't think she's overly pretty. Don't get me wrong, she's not ugly by any means, but she's just sort of average. Let's face it though, when you're in college you don't need much enticing from the opposite sex to go up to them and strike up a conversation. This lady has two things going for her, 1. she's female, 2. she has food. Men in general would be helpless to such an attack Link to comment

LarryDon't get me wrong.... the proverbial "oldest profession" alibi B) I'll just reserve my final judgement from afar... if I get the chance to see her up close in action... CFL will be.. .well the second to know my thoughts Link to comment

b.c Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I am not denying that sexual appeal isn't a part in this, but it seems most here missed the part about her personality and attitude. She is cute but she doesn't look good enough to garnish this much attention and notoriety on looks alone. Link to comment

But I'll give you a heck, yeah for the personality and attitude part. I've always thought a girl that is fun to be with (and seems like she'd be fun in bed) is always more popular than a far more beautiful woman with an acid tongue and ice queen personality.

b.c Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 She is doing business and making money, so whats the issue ? Yep, compensated candy covered fruit selling is certainly more honorable than compensated dating I think its awesome. She looks like a sweet girl. Link to comment
