In movies and books that take the point of view of the client or of a boy/girl friend who loves the hustler, the hustler is often depicted as an impossible love object who will only bring hurt or frustration. This tragic image of the hustler can be contrasted with the stereotype of the female hooker with a heart of gold: instead of being portrayed as someone in control and contented, the hustler is lost, homeless, broke or exploited. The climax often has one of two possible outcomes: the hustler either abandons the trade and re-integrates society, or he meets a tragic end. The plotline frequently focuses on the crisis of leaving the trade or the street ("one last trick"), or on making enough money for an important use (a medical treatment, a gift). He is often portrayed as a drug addict or thief. This stereotyped male hustler is often an under-aged or teen-age "street kid" or " runaway" forced to leave home because of his sexual orientation or because of sexual abuse. This stereotype reveals both a fascination with the hustler as a sexual object and sadness or disdain with his situation and life style.
The most common stereotype of the hustler is as a sexy but tragic figure. ( April 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Statements consisting only of original research should be removed.
