An Oil Town Where Men Are Many, and Women Are Hounded
The New York Times ^ | January 15, 2013 | JOHN ELIGON

On a dance floor in Williston, N.D., where single men say there are not enough single women.

WILLISTON, N.D. — Christina Knapp and a friend were drinking shots at a bar in a nearby town several weeks ago when a table of about five men called them over and made an offer.

They would pay the women $3,000 to strip naked and serve them beer at their house while they watched mixed martial arts fights on television. Ms. Knapp, 22, declined, but the men kept raising the offer, reaching $7,000.

“I said I make more money doing my job than degrading myself to do that,” said Ms. Knapp, a tattoo artist with dark streaks in her light brown hair, a bird tattoo on her chest and piercings above her lip and left cheekbone.

Christina Knapp said she and a friend received a degrading proposition from some men in a bar.

Those boys have a real problem if thats the best they can do out there.

Maybe they need to fly to Nevada once in a while and work that off.

That’s one of the problems with modern day boom towns.
In the old days of the Gold Rush the whores followed the Boom. Today with prostitution illegal everywhere except Nevada only the rich can afford an “escort”.

I’m sure after publishing this story this little town will be overflowing with over-ripe New York chicks looking for love.

Are they sure that these women weren’t just being invited to a Kennedy compound or perhaps Bill Clinton’s hotel room? Maybe it was Al Gore - just looking for a happy ending.

Whoever wrote this article should have been in Saudi in the 60’s when gold was $40/ounce (avoirdupois, that is).

We wore Krugerrands, welded together, as hatbands on our Stetsons and a 22-carat Day-Date, Rolex Watch was $350.

Of course, there were no women anywhere in that part of the world, temperatures were 110 degrees F and one could get rich overnight if one didn’t blow his money overnight.

Such rich irony, I had to double check to see if this was satire:

"“I said I make more money doing my job than degrading myself to do that,” said Ms. Knapp, a tattoo artist with dark streaks in her light brown hair, a bird tattoo on her chest and piercings above her lip and left cheekbone."

Not love; kids. Here on the east coast the shop is closed for most guys in terms of kids. One night stands are done cold sober; our guys are learning.

Where I was stationed overseas our motto was, “Where men are men, women are scarce, and the sheep are nervous!”
