Lol how many of ya'll have actually met pimps, most of these pimps aren't forcing these hoes to sell p*ssy. They were gonna sell p*ssy anyway, all the pimp does is force a little discipline on the bytch and provide some protection. Believe me, the hoes come to the pimp much more than the pimps search for hoes.
Hoes are usually lazy and undisciplined, most of them rather just sit around all day, eat, watch tv, and browse social networks. When they realize they have bills to pay they rush to strip and sell as much p*ssy as possible and to pay them, then repeat the cycle of not doing shyt with their lives until the next set of bills come.
The pimp usually puts them on a set schedule saying "you are gonna strip on these days during these hours and sell p*ssy on these days during these hours", from there the money the hoe generates shoots up immensely. He takes that money makes sure all her bills are paid, takes care of her upkeep like hair, nails, etc; and most importantly spends on himself and put himself out there as the "man". Now the dumb, lazy, undisciplined hoe no longer has to worry about the responsibilities that come with being an adult and her pimp/bf/man is the "man", nice clothes, foreign car, jewelry the guy that all the other hoes want and envy her for being with.
That is the best that I can explain it, the whole pimping culture is dumb as fukk to me. I can't understand it, it takes a certain type of person to find reward in the pimp/hoe dynamic, hoes are usually shallow and obsessed with how they come off to other people in terms of material things, pimps are the same with power complexes. Also, the "pimps = pastors" thing is very true, true pimps and hoes go by a code that is damn near religion, they look down on other pimps on hoes for breaking the codes and rules, and pimps will almost always try and convert their male friends into pimps and females that they run with into hoes.
Most of my big homies are or were pimps, pimping is huge in Houston. I'm 22 and the amount of pimping sermons I've had to sit through as they try and convince me of the error of my ways living a square simp life; the shyt sounds good but it's not for me. I've had a little stripper try and make me into her pimp, but I failed because like I said, simping is just in my nature, and hoes are looking for an authoritarian male figure in their lives. A lot of times the female hoe introduces the man to pimping.
