This question is inspired by my father. He is a retired Westerner living in Southeast Asia who is dating two sisters; they are obviously with him for the money, and he outright admits it. Personally, I could never find fulfillment in that kind of arrangement, but I’m curious about how others feel.
Well I guess it could still be better than nothing so it depends what you compare it to. It’s obviously not ideal situation but neither is being alone.
I don’t know if it would work for me because I can’t quite think of what other the “transaction” could be than money. I have plenty money but that’s because I’m extremely frugal and no gold digger is going to change that.
the benefit of the relationship is that you always know where you stand. it’s very simple, very clear. There is none of that deeper messier stuff.
