"in the example you have shown I don't think there is any difference between Mark Spitz hawking products and these Hooters waitresses hawking their boobs for $$$$........" My point exactly. And it's the fact that they are athletes that allows them to use sex as an instrument for monetary gain. If they weren't, then they couldn't trade off of it. Now matter how hot my wife thinks Beckham is, if he was driving a lorry in Manchester for a living, I doubt he would be making millions doing underwear ads. If Spitz goes 0 for in Munich, there is no beefcake poster. So in that sense, they have most definitely used their athletic skills in the pool or on the field. It's a direct result of those skills that they even have the opportunities to flaunt themselves for money. And I can guarantee you that any woman who is buying H7M underwear for her man, is not doing it because he's a great footballer.
Well, they have not really used their "athletic skills" as much as they are using the notoriety of their winning an athletic competition, which has given them a certain amount of fame/celebrity........ I think it is different in that the goal of the athlete is not to make money per se, but to win the competition........ knowing that if he does win he will make money by way of endorsements.These women are using their sex appeal to make money, and while I don't object to it, i think it is a dangerous path to go down (and not just women, I have a few friends who were/are male strippers, some for more than 25 years), in that looks fade fairly fast-at age 30, 32 or 35 their sex appeal game is over. I think getting an education and planning for both short and LONG term goals is a better bet IMO.
Men, take note. Study this article. Understand when you go out to these bars and "clubs" you are a mark. You are a mark to be mined for food, cover charges, free drinks, and anything else these women can get their hands on. Bottle service, now there is a real ripoff. Once you've spent your loot, it's goodbye to you, you'll never see these people again, because they couldn't give a damn about you. They get free food and drinks on your dime, you get ripped off. If this is your idea of a "good time" or a "night out," you need your head examined.
The only solution is for real men to stand up and stop playing this bullshit game. Don't go to these stupid places where you pay outrageous cover charges or have to pay laughably inflated prices for cheap, watered-down liqueur. Refuse to buy drinks, or anything else, for these women, because they are interested in only one thing: you subsidizing their night out. To all of this, men must rise up and say, to hell with all of it. Instead, throw a house party and invite over trustworthy women and some of their friends. Have a dinner party and drinks with some of your mates and invite some female friends. Expand your social circle in this manner -- and save a ton on stupid bottle service and overpriced drinks in places where the only thing the women and location care about is your wallet. Please, do anything at all except ply these trash women with your hard-earned money. Be a man, recognize the con, refuse to be a mark.

Only those that have no self esteem or self worth and need the attention of boys to feel valued.
