Toronto Life Magazine and Prostitutes

In an overwrought piece of journalism, the December 2010 issue of Toronto Life presented prostitutes and their clients as well-balanced people. My letter to the Editor published in the February 2011 issue:

No matter how you dress (or undress) them, men who consort with prostitutes admit their deficiencies.

The media, in their own cute way, present them as up-scale swingers, the prostitutes as strong in family values.

Men's lack of self-containment, self-confidence, communication skills, and interesting things to say, renders them unable to attract real women -- women who come to men on women's terms and not as marketable flesh.
