Most women who can’t stand places like Hooters are either ugly or insecure. My wife is the *best* woman on the planet, and knows I would never, ever leave her for anyone else, no matter what. Thus, I go and do whatever I want, and would never stray.

As far as I’m concerned, I’m recommending they branch out: tax filings and accounting in a bra and panties, anyone?

The “icky” feeling that some women get from this has less to do with the fact that “sex sells” than with their own perceptions of being held to the same standard as women that “sell” that sex, justified or not. They don’t like to think they don’t measure up. Of course, women with well-adjusted self-esteem know better, but even so, there is still an envy factor (damn if I had boobs like that … )

BTW, i wasn’t criticizing knoxville is talking. I like the site and read it daily. I’m just saying folks tend to stick with what works.

I still find the idea of a man paying a very young woman in her underpants to shine his shoes pretty pathetic.

I’ve never seen that particular service offered. And you find it pathetic because you’re assuming that every man going is some socially inept loser who plays video games in his mom’s basement (you know, your misandry). Here’s a news flash: losers in their mom’s basement won’t shell out $9 for beer or $40 for a haircut.

Get a real date, already.

Seems the part you still ‘don’t get’ is that it’s not a substitute for a date. it’s entertainment.

You just think it’s icky.

Also, if a young woman has certain “assets” that allow her to hold a job based on sex appeal what’s so wrong with that? I know a girl who works at Hooter’s. She has the looks & attitude for the job, and is making quite a bit of money working part-time as a high school senior. I say why the hell not? Good for her!

Sex sells. It’s a simple fact and that woman needs to get over it. How many guys will go see (or rent) a mediocre/terrible movie simply because some hot woman is in it? Examples. Any Jessica Alba movie, Underworld/Underworld Evolution, or Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

How well do you think Victoria Secret would do if they used obviously unattractive women to model their products? Everyone, men AND women, prefer to look at attractive people. That’s human nature.

You’re right: “I don’t get it” was not an accurate summation of the point I actually made. I do get it. I get that sex sells (and yeah, I totally ripped off the NiT concept – no big secret there. I even asked Brittney for advice on how to copy the great job she did.).

Men like to look at pretty girls in bikinis… what’s so hard to understand?

And if a haircut is the end result? Bonus!
