                  It could be a lie but it happens 

                                                 
I saw in Brazilian newspapers this matter and decided to share because it can be a warning to young Brazilians who choose the beautiful city of Paris the ideal location for their studies and professional formation or even maintain residence ...
A friend, a newcomer to Paris to do a doctorate, desperately seeking an apartment. Any student (or worker who earns less than a fortune per month) who moves to the French capital live this drama at least for a few weeks. Besides the inflated prices, owners deranged make demands that go far beyond a complete dossier containing an employment contract of indefinite duration and a guarantor (who is French and millionaire, bien sûr).

The conversation with the owner is usually much worse than any job interview. In peak periods (eg the month of September, they begin classes in universities), visits collective mark owners: you're in line with his giant dossier in hand and have a few minutes to see the Homeroom. But is not you going to choose the apartment, is clear. It is the owner who chooses the tenant, given the great demand. I've heard more than a history of blatant racism: the owner look a couple up and down and without even letting them visit the apartment, says: "I am against mixed marriages." If the complaint.

The scenario painted above is totally realistic, believe me. And it gets worse. That my friend, without an employment contract for an indefinite period and no guarantor French millionaire, was really desperate. She had visited dozens of apartments without success. Also put an ad on a site of tenants and owners, "student seeks studio or room in Paris"

As there was no answer at the suggestion of the site, increased his profile: put a picture of the face and age. Being young and beautiful, in a few hours, he received hundreds of replies: homeowners men, usually older, who said accepting host it for a reasonable price or even for free. Some wrote, in the can, which was not only to share the apartment but the bed. My friend took off running the profile of the site and a few days later, fortunately, managed to rent an apartment in normal conditions.

My friend and I were shocked by the responses of the site. But we soon discovered that the practice was much more common than we thought: thousands and thousands of students end up prostituting themselves to get a place to live and pay bills, thereby avoiding long hours of hard work as a supermarket cashier or waitress. There are no official figures, but estimates of an association of students, around 40 000 students (the vast majority of women) are prostitutes. (Read here the story of Figaro, in French).

Besides infest apartment rental sites and social networks, wealthy men seeking sex with young students rely on specialized dating sites - and legal. Can hire prostitutes without breaking any laws. In a quick search on the internet, I came across a French site, whose motto is as follows for men: "You are a man who lives in comfort? You're busy and enjoys attractive and ambitious young? "And for women:" You are a young man who wants to be spoiled? Are you looking for a mature partner and elegant gift to give him? ". Prostitution.

Obviously, it is not a phenomenon unique to Paris, but of all the great cities of the world faces. Nor is it new. But gained gigantic proportions with the internet, which facilitates the meetings and that becomes a real temptation for young women struggling to afford the bills and study at the same time. Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, at the pace you go, do not go accusing take the same kind of freak.


The main intention was to draw attention to this kind of problem will occur with much naturalide. Thought interesting to share this very sad event in our society
