A "Kept" man
I must apologize for my last post. It was a tad on the whiny side. Okay, okay, it was all on the whiny side. I am a little down because I am officially out of the house market. I've been looking to buy a house for almost six months. The reasons are too long to list here. Even though I know it's for the better, I am still grouchy about it. I am not happy when I don't get what want. I'll admit it again; I am a spoiled southern girl.
Speaking of spoiled, I was watching this show last night called "Kept." The whole premise of the show is this wealthy English former model (Jerry Hall) is looking for a "kept" man. She's offering him a six figure stipend, a hot car and the London Jet-Set Lifestyle. He is expected to accompany her to Red Carpet events and be her arm candy and "companion" There are 12 American guys competing for the job in a reality show. I have mixed feelings about this show. It was funny seeing the guys get groomed. This big, muscley, boxer guy was tearing up so bad getting his eyebrows plucked and waxed. This is something I do on regular basis with out crying, and I am a baby. I admit I had fun mocking his pain. Then she had them put on a fashion show for her complete with boxer briefs. I enjoyed that part too.
The part of the concept I had problems with was is the line between being a "kept" man and an over paid prostitute. Would this show work if it were a man looking for a "kept" woman?
Guys, current relationships aside, would you be a kept man if the money was right? I want to know. Drop me a comment. For the ladies if you were rich, divorced and need the appropriate accessory for Lah-Tah-Dah events would you find a "kept" man? As for me I don't know. I pride myself on being Anti-judgmental, but I don't know if my pride would allow me to "pay" a man for his services. However my over-demanding self would enjoy the control factor of a boy-toy if I wasn't involved with someone. hmmm....

Hmmm what would I think about being "A Kept Man"? Well my intial reaction is hell yeah, assuming of couse she was packing the right goods. So lets recap, a hot, well-endowed, financial set, jet-setter, is offering me a job to be her arm-candy for red carpet envents and I supposed to thing there is something wrong with this? Okay so maybe it is shallow, but you have to admit the experience alone would be worth the employment by the aforementioned. It's not like you can't get a divorce if there is not a connection beyond the materialistic, superficial enticement.
The cool thing about the show is the very fact that it is a women selecting from a group of men and not vice versa. And this may be my feminist side again, but it helps to break the barrier of men being in the dominat role and the women being in the submissive role.
After longer thought I do agree it is kinda sleevy but thats the role of modern tv executives and the programs they come up with. Since sex seels, the only way they will lean is by us not tuning in, especially to programs we find revulting.
Sincerely,
Jesse
