Gigolos

I would think that an escort would try to form a connection with their clients. These guys are conceited and not good looking. They are immature and make me cringe. I'd rather meet someone on tinder

It's a easy show to watch, every night you will laugh at something or someone.

I've always been fascinated with relationship dynamics and I've watched this show evolve ever since Day One. It hasn't disappointed me. To the detractors: this is the oldest profession I know of - why? Because people want what they want and if we can't get it, some of us can buy it, and those of us who can, do. Guys who are stupid think that any woman can "get laid" by just walking into a bar, but for us it's a LOT more complicated than that - it is for you too, stupid guys! These men are a nice assortment and they're so complicated and interesting that I'd have a hard time pigeon-holing any of them, which makes the show so much fun.

For instance, Brace had a vasectomy awhile back, yet he LOVES children and suddenly wishes he could have one - however, he's currently involved with a woman with EXTREME fake eyelashes, so I just don't know where this can go.

Nick just insured his dick for a million dollars, which tells you right up front that he thinks his dick is all he has to offer - he's all about the presentation and he doesn't even get THAT right, IMO. WTF is UP with that haircut? Ash seems intensely spiritual, yet he had a girlfriend for awhile but she has disappeared. Ash is gorgeous, but I wouldn't hire him.

I like the former Marine a lot, but we don't get to see much of him, unfortunately.

Vin, though, is the MAN ♥ I'd hire his sweet self in a New York minute if I could afford to! He has the most wonderful LAUGH, to begin with - he just LOSES himself and makes you laugh with him, and he says that when he has a woman in front of him, he's a happy man! He tries to find out right up front what a woman wants and needs and then does his best to supply her with it, and I've never seen him fail. Vin has a warm and caring heart and he has no problem making a woman feel loved and cared for - it's just what he DOES ♥ All in all, I hope this show goes on for years and years! The jealous men, prudes and whatnot can whine all they want, but as long as this show goes on, I'll be all over it!

I'm about 10 years too late watching this show, but it's entertaining AF. I just came across this on Showtime when I was trying to find something to watch after work. I really don't like reality TV shows because of the drama but this was a good watch. This show makes you like the cast and they make it relatable because they're down to earth with real problems like everybody else. Gives you a different perspective from the other side. I want to see more. Wish they could bring it back with new episodes and with a new cast. Perhaps some of the old cast to see what they're doing now. It does have some nudity so I recommend viewer discretion.

The show "Gigalos" should be re-titled to "Full of It" for the reason that what these part-time male escorts do when not pursuing "self-made" projects is charge a hefty fee for spending non- sexual and/or sexual time with women of all ages (off camera). They offer nothing of value to society, for heterosexual experiences can be acquired under casual to romantic circumstances without payment. It is really that easy.

Cast members are merely promiscuous men who are given gratuities. The show provides each with $50,000 per episode. And the "clients" are hired prostitutes, escorts, actresses and individuals who have never heard of the show or "Cowboys4Angels" (a Las Vegas- based escort agency to which the cast belongs to) prior to having sex with one of the cast members. Their compensation: 3 minutes of fame.

The gigolos struggle to obtain financial success in different vocations so continue to rely on escorting to make ends meet. While we see them doing non-escorting activities and also get to witness their private lives, one can find it difficult to identify with any of these escorts. Their lives lack the sort of dignity and security necessary for self-content and a prosperous future.

One can say that they are dimwitted or juvenile in their aspirations and career choices. Couple that with delusions of legitimacy and self-worth in escorting, these so-called "gigolos" leave a bitter taste in the viewer's mouth. I cannot swallow any further content after the 2nd season, partly due to the Cowboys4Angels' owner Garren James' (a former "gigalo") public invalidation of the show's premise.

If the male escorts were permitted to work in gay porn or serve male clients, the show would be seen in a positive light given the fact a large portion of the audience is gay/bisexual/bi- curious. The show would leave its mark on LGBTQ-oriented television programming and contribute to a growing movement towards the total acceptance and validation of the LGBTQ community as first class citizens in our country. In this sense, sex between men would be treated as a normal part of our society. People will see that some seek companionship and intimacy, not just a mere romp in the hay. Men would be seen less as sexualized animals and more as human beings.

If women were comfortable with purchasing services from male escorts than they must be comfortable with sexual jokes directed at their gender from anyone regardless of its sex. I am not going to tell a woman something that is sexually crude because women consider it impolite on a first impression basis and most are unwilling to hear such talk again in the future. Since this is a social characteristic, then one can presume most women are unwilling to pay for escort services. They may go to strip clubs and have sexual encounters with strippers (no different than a one-night stand) in the VIP lounge but they're not going to pay a lot of money for something they can easily get by going to a bar or chatting with a local stranger on the internet. Women who are willing to have sex with strangers have the easiest time attaining sexual encounters. On the other hand, men who are straight or bisexual are receptive towards the promiscuous type, because it makes it easier for them to relieve themselves than to spend hours on a date listening to what the other person wants to say only to realize in the end she is not going to have sex with him tonight.

Male escorts who only cater to women are extremely rare and end up failing in terms of generating sufficient profits. Typically, men make more money than women and have higher chance of obtaining better careers. Hence, women can't afford to purchase escort services unless their salary is worth millions. It is not to say that wealthy women don't purchase escort services because some actually do. They make movies about this subject.

A smart male escort caters to both men and women, but a smarter one caters to just men. One makes more money as a gay- for-pay escort/gay escort than a straight escort because the demand for same-sex sexual encounters is much higher than the demand for opposite-sex sexual encounters. Many men who are bi-curious or in-the- closet will purchase services continuously as opposed to just once (a running theme on the show). It means more money, more clients and greater success. Such escorts work in porn, prostitution or massage or in all three industries. They don't have to pursue other career goals or develop side projects to make money. Male clients historically have been the core source of income for escorts. To say that a woman would purchase services from a male escort is to say that pigs will start flying tomorrow.
