From experience such a situation would be rarel case.
Now of course my local and the culture in in may be different than where you live.

There is to much easily accessed information to take advantage of men and live the easy life. More and more women around here are latching on to it. Extreme poverty here. People will do anything, and I mean anything, to bootstrap themselves out of it.
It has become a large enough problem over the past few years that it is now common place to see the big honking SUVs and trailer trash covered with bling bling. You could pull in to almost any local box store round here, and see this for your self within an hour of sitting down. Pimped out rides, expensive clothing, wretched looking children. Or go in to the bank on Family Aid check day, and watch the disturbing number of orange yellow envelopes in the hot little bling blinged hands of some woman surrounded by her filthy brood of squalling brats. Pull in to the trailer parks and the housing developments and see absofarkinglutely squallid living conditions... I mean disgusting living conditions, but a frightening number of satilite dishes sprouting from the sagging roofs and big expensive cars and SUVs with those ridiculous looking oversized hubcaps.
In other parts of the country, you may find much the same, and either more of it or less of it, but I am sure it is becoming commonplace all over.
And with the way that the system currently works, I am sure this is a problem that will only become larger and larger as time passes.
A few years ago, I started noticing it locally. But it was just a few women here and there. Now, girls are dropping out of school and making careers out of this. Seduce a man, tell him anything and everything he needs to hear, and get knocked up a few times and then watch the money roll right in. There are even these awful little maggots on tv, these wretched lawyers and specialise in child support, offering their services to make sure that unwed mothers, these poor victims of circumstance, these poor women that were taken advantage of, get the money they rightfully deserve, and then some. These vultures ask for so little... 5 to 10% of all child support checks cashed till the child support checks stop. Seems like so little... But these guys are raking it in... 5% of a couple of hundred dollars a week, times God only knows how many checks, that is a lot of money. These jerks are part of the problem too.
It has become a lifestyle. It is still in early saturation stage, but it will grow and grow till it becomes an 'acceptable' way of life and become a 'normal' part of how to live, thrive, and survive.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
