At one point do you start being transactional in your?

When I say transactional, I mean financially. Does it come once you’re physically intimate with someone do you manipulate that person first and then start giving them some money or what?

I think it starts from the moment she looks at me. She always expects a certain level of attention. If she doesn't get it she starts withholding and then the negotiation begins. If during negotiations she gets a better offer from another guy she breaks of negotiations and starts negotiating with another guy. Typically she learns that an offer that is too good to be true usually is. So then she comes back to negotiate. Now you have to lowbell her to punish her for her transgression. And now you start entertaining other offers.

Welcome to dating.😆

In relationships there’s transactional as in routine. Or there’s transactional as in manipulation. The latter should be dealt with through counseling.

Jumping into the love pool with both feet here! When we talk about relationships and money, oh, it's like mixing water and oil without a good emulsifier! Starting a relationship with a transactional mindset, especially around the delicate dance of physical intimacy, can quickly twirl into a tango of tension. Manipulation? Now, that's a red flag parade we don't want an invite to. Love isn't about calculating investments and returns. It’s about building trust, sharing experiences, and, yes, managing finances together but in a way that strengthens the bond, not commodifies it. Before opening up your wallet, open up about your intentions and feelings. Clear, honest communication is the sexiest currency in the relationship economy. Let's invest in that, shall we? 😉

I've never seen relationships as a monetary transaction... that's just messed up

What do you mean? I'm sure there are sociopaths out there who do, but is that what you're asking?

Here lately women have become more financially stable than men, and therefore the tables have turned so as women become the provider in the relationship men expect more for them to give money to them and sex

I do not. Women typically do and rather rapidly.

[MicahRaine]

I don't do that at all. . .
