Are all relationships/interactions at their fundamental basis transactional ie people are in it for what they can get out and will ride when its in their benefit but if you slip they'll dip, real quick.

Loyalty is very underrated. :yayo:

What do you think? As far as i see you're on a solo ride in this realm because thats how you came in and will go out. Add in the fact that you never actually touch anything it makes one wonder about the true nature of the game... Is it getting solipsistic in here or is it just me?


I've never been one to chill with someone just because they're rich, popular, successful etc as that just reeks of D riding but that always has been a huge motivating wave for many. Transactions in full effect. "What do you do for a living?" equals a change in the persona they present if they want in and hear you're where they want to be. "Whats in it for me?" seems to be a very common program running inside the minds of people. Most are not even aware of it.

For me its about the frequency, the entertainment, do you get my level of thinking, can I inspire you etc... and not the tangibles or assets. A lot of marriages (from the male and female side but more the latter) are predicated on what they can get. I was stunned once when a friend said "If my father is poor that is my destiny. If my father in law is poor that is my stupidity" and then went on to live his lyrics by marrying someone he isn't attracted to but tolerates because she is rich and now he's set. Transactions again.

Even a lot of parents play the long game in the transactional sense because "Who will look after me in my dotage?" runs as a silent program in their heads and they often use that to limit your expansion so you remain in the box they picked. What Im saying is if you remove the covers and boil down most relationships (in any sense) down to their fundamentals the vast majority share the same skeleton:



And yet this is never said out loud. Its always covert, implied, tacit. Well? Let it be known then!

It's an unwritten rule. The gift and curse of being a man. A wise business man chooses a partner that brings value. It's a reason why you don't see many top billionaires with very attractive wives. They're usually very homely and loyal unless they divorce and bring the sidepiece in.

Everytime I get the number from a girl on dating apps and we actually talk, they all do an interrogation asking me what I do for a living and what I have. Deleted all the dating apps. I don’t have it like that, and even if I did, I don’t want to entertain people just because they’re more interested in what I have more than me specifically. I might as well pay an escort in that case

Transaction is an element of relationships. So yes, a relationship can be transactional, but that would mean it's missing the other elements.


Don't ask me what the other elements are, it didn't think that far :whoa:

Maybe not transactional but I think they’re conditional.

Most women are in relationships so long as they’re entertained or have no other options. Those are the conditions.

The moment they become bored (as the monotony of long term relationships eventually sets in) or should someone else they find interesting come along, they’ll jump ship — and often find a way to make it seem like it’s not her fault for moving on.

I have no doubts women will disagree but it is what it is.
