30 Something

I picked my friend, Mike, up to run an errand. As we were driving he points to a woman crossing the street and tells me that she's a prostitute. He then goes on to explain that the he's been really good frinds with the woman, but never knew that she was a prostitute. He said that one day he was talking to his neighbors and he neighbor slyly mentioned that he was awfully friendly to the woman. Mike simply said that they hung out and that was all, but the neighbor kept suggesting that there was more going on. Mike then asked what the neighbor was talking about. The neighbor detected Mike's innocense and asked, "You really don't know her do you?" Mike questioned again what the neighbor was getting at and the neighbor sheepishly mentioned that the woman was a "night walker". Mike, still not sure what the neighbor was talking about, asked him to clarify. The neighbor then stated the the woman "sells it". Mike said that he was still a little unsure of what the neighbor was talking about and told him to just say what he was saying without trying to sugarcoat it. The neighbor simply said, "She's a prostitute." Mike said his jaw hit the ground. He said that he's had the woman in his house late at night watching movies and had her over for dinner and has treated her just like any other friend of his and never knew that she was a prostitute. He then said that he talked to the woman to ask her if it was true. The woman didn't answer him. She then told him that she thought he knew what she did. She told him that she's tried flirting with him, but he never caught on to it, so she just left it alone and figured that he didn't want "any" from her. He then told me that he wasn't going to have her at his house anymore. Initially when he said that I was little bothered. I asked him why could the woman come to his house before, but she couldn't come now. My thinking was that his neighbors already think that he's getting "some" from her and he wasn't so what would change now. He's already associated himself with a known prostitute. He said that it wouldn't "look right" for "her" to be at his house late. To me it wouldn't look right for any woman to be his house late, so if he knows that he's not doing anything wrong, then who cares what his neighbors think. So don't discriminate against her simply because she's a nightwalker. I could be having sex with him when I go to his house late and his neighbors don't know that. So what's the difference?
