[quote=CA renter]Agreed, but let’s get rid of the extremely sexist “gold digger” moniker. Is a man who seeks to be paid for his services denigrated as a “gold digger”? Women intrinsically understand that they are providing a list of services. That they want to be paid for providing these services should not compel us to look down our noses at them. Men would do it no differently if the roles were reversed.
The men who seek out “gold diggers” know exactly what they’re getting, and why.[/quote]
You’re right, CAR. The term is denigrating but I always associated it with women who can’t support themselves or refuse to (at least in the style in which they would like to become accustomed). In short, women who are seeking a “sugar daddy.”
Agree that many men are attracted to the “gold-digger” type but I think some are too dumb or blind to know what they are getting into without an unbiased opinion from a concerned onlooker (friend/relative).
A surrogate mom is usually paid pretty handsomely for their services (as well as getting all their medical bills paid … even if covered by insurance). She is offering a legitimate service and usually she has an agency who takes a cut for her successful pregnancy. It’s not prostitution and it takes a healthy, emotionally strong woman who knows their own mind to successfully pull it off.
Scaredy’s idea doesn’t differ very much from a surrogacy arrangement.
