Need help with main character

[togitc]

Adventures in White Trash. That is the title of the story.

My problem is I don't know how to spin it. I have the girls lined up and set out, I just don't have the main character setup.

I have nothing along the lines of who this person is and why he is all of a sudden fucking poor white women.

Figure the first one could be an accident or something and after that it becomes a habit.

I just don't know what would be the best way to write him. I did consider writing the character as a female lead, but I don't know if I could do a lesbian scene justice.

I'll have to research the issue.

Why is he fucking poor white women?

I could see a few possibilities. Easier path to booty (i.e. less wining and dining)? The guy gets off on the power issue? He finds something about the "White Trash" look to be tremendously dick-hardening?

Do you want him to contrast the women, or relate to them? Perhaps he was himself working class but started a successful buisiness? Or he was born rich? Maybe he's scraping by himself, but is downright wealthy compared to his conquests?

Hope that helps inspire you.

is it a power game? should he be the landlord? or the landlord's nerdy son, who gets laid in return for deferring rent payments?

or he's the kid who cuts the grass and they take pity on him?

or just a kindly stranger who picks one up hitchhiking when her car breaks down, drives her home to the trailer park?

a teacher of the barely legal daughter, drives her home when she misses the bus? Mom shows her appreciation? daughter gets jealous, takes hers the next day, etc?

or a classmate? comes over to study, Mom seduces him, etc....

Or he was born rich?

If you want to treat the women in the story like real people and not caricatures, you could have the man born and bred to the upper class, and he happens to meet a woman who to him is so grounded, so real, compared to the manicured and plastic people he interacts with all the time.

He’s entranced by her realism and bluntness, and she’s entranced by the places he can take her. One thing leads to another and they become lovers.

If both the main characters in this story are respectful, real people, your readers will want to read more about him. You could write a series of stories.

No power play, I don't want to write that.

In my area the rich people all look the same. It is freaky.

I went in to grab a drink at a fast food joint while the upper crust soccer team was in. They were all the same girl. Same hair color, same height, and same face.

That is a real turn off when every girl you see is the same. Variety is the spice of life. The title needs work, granted or the idea can be scrapped. Just a loose collection of stories with the same theme instead of a series. That would get stale anyway.

... you could have the man born and bred to the upper class, and he happens to meet a woman ...

Perhaps she's a cleaner at his office, or she valets his car, or she sells him flowers for his wife/mistress, or she walks out into the road without looking and he nearly flattens her with his Rolls-Royce?

It's a little overdone as methodology, but why not have him be a college student who desperatly want to get into the "in" frat. Make the initiation scoring with X number of women before the semester is out, or make it a competition, 6 pledges for five spots. You could then set rules on who counts and what proof is needed that you scored.

You then just need to tailor the rules to send your guy after the particular kind of woman you wnat to write. Lets say coeds are out, because they're all too easy. In most college towns, that will clip you protags pool of avialable women considerably.

You have only to steer him towards a particular segment of the female population from there. Maybe he scores once with the kind of girl you want to write and sees there is a gold mine to mine there. Or perhaps he takes that route because he has somekind of in. Maybe a nascar fan or a good handy man. Would work especially well if he were a good handy man, working his way through college sctick could get him into the enviornment he wanted. Maybe set his classes up so he's free during the time most blue collar guys are at work and he can work the lonely housewife angle.

Have him a rich guy that is fed up with all the same rich, snobby women and is looking for something different. Have the main character get lost in the poor side of town, pull into a bar to ask for directions. He sees a man treating his woman like shit, the main character jumps in and rescues her, and then later they have sex. That starts him down on his path of white trash women.
