Is every male/female relationhip transactional?

[msc545]

It seems like this is all women really want...

[Justneedtokno]

I think there should probably be some symbiotic relationship when it boiled down to it not necessarily financial. But you get some thing with being with another person whether is helping you to grow or helping you to learn something simply the emotional support.

[Justneedtokno]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[msc545]

What do men get other than sex and trouble and a lot of expense?

[Justneedtokno]

I’m not a man I don’t know what you want in a relationship. It’s what you want as a man.

In the Bible, God said women are helpmates meaning we just help you do the other things like maybe dress maybe bear the children and all depends on what exactly you want in your relationship.

[msc545]

Perhaps they used to do that. They sure as hell don't anymore.

[Caroline91]

Ours is about making a home and building a family together. It's based on each loving the other and wanting to grow spiritually, mentally and emotionally together. Being there to help and give support to each other.

You might enjoy the MyTake I just wrote. It speaks on something adjacent to this concept. It seems like question isn't whether the relationships are transactional, but more about what the components of the transaction are.

[msc545]

Thanks!

[msc545]

I'm trying to find that My take. Can you post a link for it please?

Thanks - very useful and well done!

[RavVid]

Seems so. It is simplifying for a woman; vagina time for resources provided to her.

[NathanDavis]

some might be...

fortunately, not mine

[exitseven]

Nope. Some relationships are just two people that care for each other

[msc545]

I think you are right about this, but I also believe such relationships are rare. It might be because I live in or very near Hollywood, but they all seem very shallow and transactional to me. I live in the Land of Greedy Opportunity...

@msc545. I grew up poor and anybody who ever wanted to get involved with me knew up front that I was living on the edge and would be for the foreseeable future

[msc545]

We grew up in very different places.

[exitseven]

@msc545. Yes we did but it takes all kinds to make the world

[msc545]

Very true!

[Caroline91]

@msc545 You can still find authentic women who want an emotionally balanced relationship. You just might haver to look a little deeper. Get off of Rodeo Drive and down to the beach!! lol

[msc545]

I spend a lot of time at the beach. Surfing. Doesn't make any other difference.

[Caroline91]

Then stay on the sand for awhile!! Build a bonfire. Send out smoke signals! Although anyone who wanted to meet me would have had to be in the water. lol

[slatyb]

Hardly. Who chooses transactional women? Transactional men, or naive men with low self-esteem.

[Anonymous]

Mostly.

The genders just keep score differently. So they'll never agree on the score.

[ForevrLonely29]

Neofeminism is a major contributing factor. Ironically, you seem to support a political party that many of these feminist women associate themselves with.

[msc545]

@forevrlonely29 I am certainly not going to support a mentally ill criminal under any circumstances. I predict you will regret doing so.

[ForevrLonely29]

If this so-called "criminal" is able to restore the nation, he has my vote. The entire trial was politically motivated and an abuse of the justice system to attack political opponents. You lefties feel this gives you leverage as an excuse to deligitimitize Trump, but you have proven yourselves to be corrupt authoritarians willing to do anything to keep power.

[msc545]

He will ruin the country. He is very ill.

[ForevrLonely29]

YOU are very ill, and so is your bitch Kamalatoe and Tampon Tim. A whole political party that relies on identity politics and forcing propaganda on immoral social issues... that is insanity. I will NEVER embrace trannies and illegal aliens. But why do I need to anyways? Why these people "need" acceptance from others? To me, it shows an underlying weakness.

[msc545]

It is unsurprising that you are lonely.

[ForevrLonely29]

I am not entirely lonely. I created this account before I met my now-fiance. Although, I did wish I had friends and that my leftist, socialist extended family didn't alienate me. That is the difference between conservatives and lefties. I still value my family. Sadly, they don't value me.

[msc545]

There is a reason that they don't value you.

[ForevrLonely29]

Because the ones that bitch about intolerance (leftists) tend to be the most intolerant themselves.

[Ironic_Method]

Seems like you need to find better women.

[OddBeMe]

In an inhuman way of thinking…yes.

[Sevenpointfive]

yes. .
