A little light culture: Gena the hooker

Gena doesn't think of herself as a hooker. She thinks she is a normal enough girl who is taking advantage of an online service that exists to connect attractive young women up with a "Sugar Daddy". I only know about her because La Presse did a piece on these online services the other day and they used her as an example.

I noticed her in particular because in every respect but one I am her target audience. I am in the right income bracket and age group and I love women and sex and I love buying presents and treating women. The big strike against me is that I am a faithful husband and would never consider an offer like hers. Which, in case you are wondering, was to shower gifts on her in exchange for her company and kindness, by which she means sex but, as she is very careful to specify, not just sex.

Hookers who, unlike Gena, know they are hookers, call what she is offering the "complete girlfriend experience".

I felt rather sorry for Gena as I read about her and not just because she is in such a state of self-denial. For any guy who answers her ad will almost certainly be lying to her about who and what he is. He'll be a guy buying sex and lying to himself about what he is doing just as she is. What she doesn't realize is that he'll be in it for the short term. Most likely he'll pretend to offer her something long term, with lots of gifts, but he'll be in and out as fast as he can manage. He'll see her hot body and appreciate it at first but as soon as he's had her, her value will plunge.

What poor Gena doesn't realize is just how easy sex is for men with money and status. She thinks she is offering us something hard to get but it isn't and she isn't. What she'll get is some guy pretending to be what she advertised for but actually having far less status than she set out. She'll get that because it's very easy to fake status in the short run.

The other thing she doesn't see is that she has no status herself. She's just a hooker and that is about as low on the status pole as you can get.

How did our culture get to the point that girls find it so easy to lie to themselves about this?
