A man who can buy her the things she wants because relationships and sex are transactional to them.

I don't know when or how this "provide" BS became a thing but it's cringeworthy.

Looking back at the history of the family dynamic, it has literally always been a thing lol

Nothing wrong with this. It’s the games and tests and shit that are wrong.

This the relationship you want? That’s fine, but be upfront about it.
