Hookers are romantic, right?

This is a very controversial statement, but when it comes to romantics, Charlie Harper (Sheen) is the bees knees to observe. With the events that occurred earlier this year, being his children getting taken away, Sheen gave up his role on Two and a Half Men. So I looked to the very first episode of this season as a vantage point into his love life in the show. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6Ah5Was1cU ) The episode begins with Charlie's funeral, Alan is speaking about Charlie and almost immediately, beautiful women in the crowd begin yelling out sexually transmitted infections that he had given them, or sexual quirks that he liked. And there are honestly a lot of women there, gorgeous women fill the entire left half of the seating arrangements. You may not think that this is romantic, but at one point in time, Charlie wooed those women and romanced the hell out of them. Why so many though? This is where it's really neat to look into the concept of love and romance while looking at an obvious womanizer.
People will say that the only reason he would go from woman to woman every night is to try and fill a hole in his heart. Did he take these beautiful women home and ravage them because he was empty inside or because he just loved a good rodeo? It seems to me that only he would really know which one it was. You can talk about it being pathetic and disgusting that he would do that but in reality if that's what makes him happy it shouldn't be about what anyone is judging of him. Why, if he is making the effort to go out and pick up these women, do people automatically assume that he is just trying to fill a void. Maybe he was lonely and wanted to have them around, but then again, he could also be perfectly content with the rockstar lifestyle and being independent at all times. It's also interesting to me that in Sheen's real life, which is eerily similar to his character's life on 2.5 Men, he is loved and hated simultaneously. When his kids were taken away because of his drug/hooker/alcohol problems, he didn't go into hiding, instead he made a twitter, got over a million followers in 3 days, and sparked his career a little more. The man has a crazy outlook on life, but dammit he makes it work. One pre-paid romance at a time.
