How Do Women Really Feel About Playboys? by Jackie Pilossoph for Chicago Tribune Pioneer Press

The sight of an old guy hanging out in satin pajamas, surrounded by three or four beautiful young women might have been disturbing to me, had it been anyone other than Hugh Hefner.

In my eyes, Hefner, who died last week at the age of 91 seemed sort of sweet and harmless. Yes, the playboy who created Playboy was a sugar daddy who used his wealth, lifestyle and lavish parties to attract women a third of his age (or younger). But, he had charm, likability and a gentleness that made him seem like he couldn’t hurt a fly. In other words, I feel like Hefner was kind of a “nice” playboy.

But is there even such a thing? Aren’t playboys supposed to be wealthy, good-looking jerks, who date and sleep with multiple woman and refuse to commit to any kind of a meaningful relationship? If so, why would anyone want to date a playboy? (Click here to read the rest of the article, published in the Chicago Tribune Pioneer Press.)
