i wasn't thinking of tyson specifically. but the whole business?
possibly she's worried that gay men would be a bigger market than straight women, somewhat obscuring the point she was trying to make and possibly driving away some of her straight women customer base.
Publicity-wise, it's not a bad idea. She gets a big media splash for doing this, gets a million requests for a gayer service, and then gets to open another branch.
Yeah, if it were open to men, it would be almost exclusively patronized by men, because, hey, that's pretty much who pays for sex in our culture. And that probably would scare off the few women who might be interested if she manages to find someone women would want to pay to sleep with.
Of course, you're going to need some significant help chaining Mr. Tyson down, before you bring out the 18" strap-on. But I think it could be arranged.
Tyson is hurting for money, which is why he does things like this, and going to Chechnya (http://www.diacritica.com/sobaka/ newswire/2005/09/0926005a.html).
I have to admit, I don't see the appeal, but some people are into having sex with people who may flip out and beat them senseless and/or kill them.

& sometimes we're just stupid & don't realize the problems inherent in the relationship until we're bruised & bleeding. But I'm a lot older and smarter now.

Date: 2006-10-18 07:41 pm (UTC)You don't think a man would be dumb enough to pay to sleep with ... er, waitMike Tyson isn't gay! What are you trying to say?? He beats up men! Yeah! (Er, also women. Um, wait.)It doesn't seem like it'll make a lot of money, now, does it? Unless she gets George Clooney to sign on.
