Search Results: meaningless relationships

Don't really know whether it is that 'underdog' situation, where your family/parents have not set you up well to begin with (if such a thing exists) - or whether it is the 'mismanagement of the village' but, as someone who is a high contributor to the general wellbeing (with all I have/can get and muster), I find it puzzling how little, if any, relationship reward this gets me.

We are not talking about me wanting 17 castles, 50 supercars and a different supermodel girlfriend each day or week - simple appreciation sufficient to find someone I'd be happy with, for a genuinely affectionate relationship, would do. Yet it seems to find meaningless sex, or to pursue having two girlfriends, or some other form of extreme behaviour, is expected of me (I say it as someone who is easily a 10 given some motivation to be so - both in intellect, applied, and in athletics/aesthetics). And I keep bumping into crooks, in terms of societal value, leeches, who do far far better than me (at least on the surface, the rewards they get from 'the village' are far far greater, their contribution blatantly subzero - takers, not givers).

What is it in people that makes them appease those who are against them and disregard those who are helping them?
