"My girlfriend costs me thousands of dollars per month, But it's a great investment. She gives me aura and edits my tiktoks" Notes to self that wish someone had told me. - When a woman pulls away from you, that means she's not into it. - Transactional means prostitution. Meaning. She's not there because of you but what you bring to the table. Which means you're the obstacle, not the source of value. - Even if the exchange of goods is fair on the surface, eg. you share your lifestyle and she gets to be part of it, deep down she does not want to be a prostitute. The fact that the terms are fair adds to the insult. Therefore, resentment. - You will be made pay for her resentment in ways that you're not prepared for. Emotionally, materially, etc. - Every inch of value that you get from the transaction is now a weakness that will, eventually, be used against you. She gives you social status? good, watch what happens when she takes it away and badmouths you to the tribe. Her acceptance makes you feel sexually valid? awesome. Watch what rejection and a dead bedroom does to you. - You're using this woman to find out what reality, and, love, is actually about. You will pay for your stupidity. That's the actual transaction happening. You think you're winning, you will be made, to lose. - Enjoy the ride up. Let's catch up, later. "This is pessimistic about female nature". The opposite. The fact that she accumulates resentment and eventually seeks the destruction of the system that co-participated in her self betrayal, means she's still, good. An actual prostitute would ride-or-die and fully sell out. But women, don't. They take the goods, then kill the abuser. "But I'm not an abuser" Then why do you need to pay for, it. == Use this ancient knowledge as you will.
