Girls like Margo end up becoming prostitutes and escorts.


And porn stars or working little jobs till they realize the mistake they made and bag the first guy they can before they loose their looks and self esteem some more. But *beep* margo, this movie is about Quentin coming of age with his friends.

Naaaaa

As I posted on another topic, most free spirits like Margo usually spend a lot of time travelling, doing odd jobs until they find a place and a job they love. Once they find it they usually settle down and live a happy life.

If you were to visit a place like Hawaii or any island in the Caribbean, you will find numerous people like Margo who at first were living in a tent, but then found a job they love, have an apartment and now live a happy life in a place they love.

They do not end up rich and successful, most the majority live OK lives.

I could see that margo girl working as a lot lizard in different truck stops across the country. then one day, the green river killer or someone like him snatches her and dumps her body along the highway

I knew someone who was kind of like that many years ago. She hung out in college towns and did a little of different kinds of work, getting paid "under the table" much of the time and got grants for college degrees that she never put to use. Eventually she got pregnant and her daughter was very pretty, and you could get AFDC for 18 years back then .... I think she eventually did get help from relatives that she had wanted no help from before, too.

LOL, shut up dude. What do you even know about it? Women are capable of taking care of themselves.

It seems like you have a problems with women, man.



If I don't reply, you're probably on my ignore list for something I forgot already

I don't see her becoming a prostitute. Some people are free spirits who work freelance like photography or "small town jobs" like waitressing. They move from place to place with nothing tying them down.

reply

Yeah.

She was kind of pretentious bich.

To be fair to the OP, I can see that -- but I also agree with others that there are plenty of free spirits like Margot who get through this "little job" phase perfectly respectably. No resorting to the nasty routes in life. And yes, even wind up living the stable lives they thought they were running away from.

I know a woman who went traveling around the world working odd jobs and sleeping on beaches. She never resorted to porn or prostitution, lol. She just wanted "freedom" and she did that by totally ordinary means.

She is now a middle-aged, middle class woman with two kids and a home worth 3/4 of a million, with a PhD and works for a prestigious charity, while her husband makes a huge salary in a huge corporation.

Even the ones who don't do so well -- there are plenty of people who go off and work "little jobs" forever, but still live decent lives.

Not every woman resorts to things you think they do even just because perhaps you think they "can."

I didn't particularly like or relate to the Margot character -- I do think she's heading for potential trouble but I also know that in real life while some might fall into very dark places, it's by no means everyone.
