I’m not mad at this at all. Just like an unattractive ball player probably knows most women only want him for his money, but he doesn’t care because he gets his pick of beautiful women.
My problem with transactional relationships is when it becomes PREDATORY and one sided. Nothing wrong with the idea of payday loan services, but it becomes predatory to have them so heavily in low income neighborhoods preying on poor people living paycheck to paycheck and charging 800% interest. Nothing wrong with age gap relationships, but it’s predatory when it’s an 18 year old woman marrying a 90 year old billionaire and convincing him to leave her everything when he dies like Anna Nicole Smith.
A decent human isn’t looking to take advantage of someone under the guise of a relationship
