I think that if you didn't get it by now it is use;less to try to explain it to
you.

 MvdV>> Why does she dress up like a hooker

I am not playing your word games.

ml>>> clothes that is provoking a crime?

You introduced "hooker clothes" into the thread. /You/ define it.

 MvdV>> if not for the purpose of enticing man to approach her?

Because that is what hookers do. Djeezz are you really that dense?

 ml> can they not approach her simply for sex?

get a freeby from a hooker? yea, right..

 MvdV>> That IS the purpose of the operation is it not? We consider

A style that is generally recognised by potential customers as a signal for "I
have sex for sale."

 MvdV>> Well, it would be if it were illegal here to approach

 MvdV>> Prostitution is legal here. (Under conditions).

 MvdV>> But the same holds for drug deals. A cop posing as a dealer

If he stands there emanating signals that are generally recognised by potential
customers as :I have drugs for sale", yes than by our laws it IS his fault and
it will cost him his job.

Cheers, Michiel
