Comment on Anon's lil bro goes through his first break up
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 days agoI mean, have you seen dating advice in 2026?
Everything is ultra transactional. I date actively. Most ladies I meet… simple care about what I can provide for them in terms of money and entertainment… they don’t care about much else.
10-20 years ago women I met used to care way less about that stuff and more about our common interests and values and building a relationship. Now the game is more about resource-extraction and people tend to view prospective partners purely in these terms.

It legitimately sounds like you saw a prostitute without intending to. Which- people can be sex workers and that’s fine, but finding that sort of language bleeding into the everyday is a faux pas, to say the least. I personally haven’t met anyone that far gone, but I’ve seen plenty of people interested in only money and entertainment, which seems less unsightly to me. An interest in living life is the barest minimum for seeking someone, after all

No dude. These women are doctors, lawyers, and other high income highy edcuated professionals.
That is how they view relationships. their end-goal in a relationship is not happiness or personal satisfaction, or any of that, it’s about getting more money.

I can’t say I’m entirely convinced, considering this conversation is taking place in a greentext community, but I am fairly glad im past my dating woes

you don’t have to be convinced. lots of people doing lots of thing exists that you don’t know about.
I’ve also had women of this ilk ask me to be part of their male sex harem and flip out telling me i’m a horrible asshole when I politely declined. i doubt you ever encountered that while you were dating either and you are free to assume that is also a fabrication/lie.
but also i don’t think you are in the same circles I am. But there are plenty of New Yorker and NYT times articles about these people, because they tend to only exist in a few select cities in a few neighborhoods in those cities, and they are often the same class of folks who dominate the media industry.
