Why do people get offended by the idea of transactional relationships?

[Xtra]

Yes, but I came to conclusion that in poor traditional countries they care more about money and status if looks is irrelevant. No woman in any culture will value you for your personality

both money and looks are irrelevant at my age range, it’s literally just about being NT here nothing else

they don't like the implications, that their muh love based relationship is a sham and an illusion. they realize they're donald trump, but poor.

If you're lucky. I don't believe most married men even have sex.

My fathers friends all are married and don’t get sex.

 

[radicalrationalist]

all social interaction is transactional and has a basis in evolved behavior. some people are just born with higher innate transactional value. good looks can be exchanged for sex. higher earning ability can be exchanged for sex.

"love", which is just the assurance that your value in the transaction is either equal to or higher than the other party, is just a cessation-feeling(see video) that triggers a dopaminergic response in your semi evolved reptilian brain. it does not really improve the quality of sex. pornstars who have no "love" for their coworkers have better quality sex than regular humans

everyone wants ideal fairytale relationships as they see modeled after media but most people are forced to accept what they can get which is an unpleasant thing to think about but also something normies instinctively grasp, by living a lie you can have your cake and eat it too
