Men! These Transactional Relationships Are Leaving You Broke and Brokenhearted
I felt the need to write this because I keep encountering men who are brokenhearted — and sometimes broke — from having a transactional relationship with a woman.
What a lot of people do not realize is that there are a lot of men, who want the wife, 2.5 kids, and the dog with the suburban home with the white picket fence.
They aspire to be like the fathers, Deacons, and Pastors they grew up seeing in church or want to keep up with their buddies who may have gotten married and started a family.
A lot of these men have strong family values but lack the social and interpersonal skills to properly date and pursue a woman. In some cases, they seem to lack self-esteem. Add to that a man who is looking to be wifed and you have a man on a particular mission.
So, they set out on this specific mission with a small checklist in hand.
Checklist:
- Halfway Attractive: Due to low self-esteem, they don’t go for the prettiest in the room because they prefer to not have too much male competition and don’t want to have to do too much to get her. That’s if they even think they have what it takes to get the prettiest in the room.
