Is transaction love getting more common?

It's transactional... hate to break it to you. We, us dudes, generally just value the sloppy clam and the good feelings more than our opposite gender values the the good feelings and our veiny dicks in comparison. Just get real and realize most of these chicks don't even value our veiny dicks near as much as we do a blow job.

I hate to be blunt but the main reason they're not interested in a bunch of the shit some of us guys can get into... because it doesn't equal money or some other benefit women value more than we do just getting all gold guns in CoD for instance.

I mean think about it... there is a reason that the woman will spend 70% of a single income families income whether she works or not. Women are just concerned about a whole lot more than we are about getting sloppy clam and good feelings about it. You'll find out if you divorce one and she wants to take all the furniture she never even used. She bought it... still will never use it... you paid for it. That's value to her though and that's something most of us men will never really understand.

Sort of reminds me of my Mom... leaving a whole cake in the fridge to rot. Having the cake was of more value than eating it. I was a kid, hungry, and cake sounds pretty good... not allowed to eat it though. It is only there to rot until we throw it out. So yeah we males have interests that they see as dumb... like achievements in a video game... they have theirs too.

I think there's some people that value material things above all else. For them having a transactional relationship is just par for the course.

any relationship outside a parent-child relationship will be transactional.

nobody else, besides your mother, will feed/give endlessly to you without expecting anything in return

I mean you can call it love if you like but it isn't. What it is is hormones, narcissism and limmerance. And yes, it is a problem. Most women today get married even without ever falling in love. They do based solely on limmerance. And understandably when it wears off they hate the guy they married. Because most women today have become addicted to limmerance.

I just enjoy watching the trainwreck.

No such thing, but I do understand what you intend with the phrase, and goods and services in exchange of affection now seem like the norm.
