About the title
It's no secret to anyone that a person with good looks can easily avoid many problems. And talk of character mattering too, or that looks will fade someday, is beside the point. A handsome person inspires envy, but he inspires even more admiration. When Nicky came to an unfamiliar city, what he wanted most was to relax and have a new girl every day. The guy had no desire to work hard or impress everyone with how well he thinks. That's exactly why Nicky became a gigolo. Living with wealthy but very bored women suits him just fine. And they're happy to have a handsome young man around who will fulfill any wish in bed.
