Corporate Gigolos

'Didn't intend to write any more, but... well...

Met a few guys lately who fall into a category I can only describe as "corporate gigolos". 

What the hell is that?

Well... Take an educated male, with no particular accomplishment, but some education, perhaps some well-developed spiel about a high-tech area of promise, and team him with a woman of some accomplishment but, perhaps, in need of cheering up, or validation, or something to make her current situation make sense.  The "Corporate Gigolo" seduces with the energy of his presentation, the flash of his buzz-word knowledge, the simple fact that he exudes the same confidence that the accomplished woman (or man) had felt for years --- until recently.

Is it real? To a certain extent.

Is it honest? To the extent that the Corporate Gigolo certainly believes in himself.

Is it "honest" honest? No. The Corporate Gigolo exists on words, on promises. He is not an accomplisher - he is  promoter - of himself.

He is very successful. Because - as we all grow older - we understand how little we know. And we want so much - so much - to recapture the confidence of youth.
