Why are Rent-Boys not looked down upon like Gold-Diggers are?

Question

Definitionally, I don't equate the two. Here are my understandings:
* A whore, hooker, prostitute, is a woman who accepts money for sexual favors, or similar items of value, but has no relationship with a particular person.
* A "rent boy" is simply a male version of the above, just with a nicer sounding name.
* A gold digger, male or female, is someone who "feigns" caring about someone mentally and emotionally while providing physical pleasures so they can be spoiled with luxuries, money, materials and a wealthy lifestyle. The key is deceit and deception.
* A "sugar baby" does the same thing as a hooker, but there is a mutually agreed upon understanding that governs the arrangement. That can be anything the two agree on, but the "sugar daddy" obviously has much more say and control in this arrangement, especially if he offers a lot of money. The male version of this might be called a "rent boy", but I think that's a misnomer. He'd really just be a male sugar baby.

So... I think you're asking why are male prostitutes not looked down on like female prostitutes are? That's easy - hypocrisy and a double standard.

But I also think there's some rationalization going on that male hookers are providing a necessary "emotional service and connection" to the women who hire them, and it's not simply about the sex. When a man hires a hooker, he just wants to get his rocks off and since men ALWAYS want to do that, they're just lusty little pigs. However, when a woman hires a man, she is looking for more than that, and she deserves it ! I think men promulgate this idea, somewhat covertly, as if they are providing a real service that some women really DO need for their emotional, as well as physical, well being.

I always laugh because once again give a sweeter term to Males. A Male who has Sex for Money is cslled a Rent Boy s Female that has Sex for Money is called a Whore, Hooker, or Prostitute. Rent Boys are Male Whores aka Prostitutes. So if you Look Down on Gold Diggers or Female Prostitutes you should look down on "Rent Boys aka Male Prostitute". If you feel bad for Female Prostitutes then feel bad for Rent Boys who are Male Prostitutes!! Another way Males can't be given the same Put Downs as Females!!!

Is this referring to male prostitution or dead beats?

I saw a movie where Ashton Kutcher did that and he fell in love with a girl who was a sugar baby and he gave up his lifestyle with the lady who took care of him to be with this girl but then she won’t give up her sugar daddy for him. So at the end he ends up delivering pizzas while another guy takes his place and starts banging the woman who used to take care of him.

i think because both parties know what is paid for with a rent-boy. with a gold digger the person might not realize they are being used

You're kidding right? Besides being a pedophile or a rapist I suppose, being a rent boy is the worst thing a guy can be.

Today I learnt what a rent boy means. I thought jigalow was the term for a male prostitute all along and it is but the term rent boy is new to me.  So I guess I learnt something new today

NineBreaker · Answer

I had to google who they are, but I figured it's something similar. To answer the question: personal bias. That leads to double standards.

EnglundUberAlles · Answer

Rent boys are unpaid prostitutes, literally the lowest rung of society. Any time you look at them you will be looking down. Not being judgmental here, just stating the facts.
