Tilted Kilt waitresses and other San Diego bar girls sound off
Well said, Fred. But "attractive" goes deeper than "image," and egocentrism can screw up the outside. An "attractive" woman can do far, far better than Hooters--or any other business built primarily upon manipulation. Let's hope the brightest of the young women don't get sucked into a whirlpool of one-note existence, exploited and cast off when they are no longer needed and live lives of noisy desperation. I'd leave it off my resume (a permissible deception?), and spend my time off learning more and more about what I'm really interested in (animals, children, saving the world, etc.?). I'd volunteer to make life more enjoyable for people a bit less beautiful than I. Let people love you for what you are, not ONLY for what you look like. A big problem attractive and wealthy people have is that they're never quite certain who their friends are. So beauty and wealth can backfire, as they are both targets for exploitation, which may be the price one has to pay . . .— September 4, 2012 2:16 p.m.

Back when I was a kid, women had two choices. She could work under a man for dirt wages or she could screw him for big bucks and be "independent." My aunts and cousins were smart enough to choose the latter, but one of my cousins died on the floor of a saloon, knifed by a jealous wife. That cousin was a sweet, beautiful young woman. Her sister got out of the business, but was forever scarred and scared. Now, women have better choices. Hooters ain't one of them. Read those books and find something to do that you really like. But if you get used to those big Hooter tips, you'll never be able to swim out of the whirlpool. I want you, all young women, to have a fair chance at a good life. Tell Hooters, it's been a hoot, but you give a hoot about yourself--or don't tell them anything, just walk out. With respect to the stupid comments, please explain to us why you think they are stupid, especially mine. Thanks for having the guts to get involved in the discussion. It's important for you, and it's important for every woman.— September 3, 2012 5:31 p.m.
