Our foremothers courted as the buyer, married, and became the seller. Modern women court as the seller, marry, and become the buyer. The former married permanently, the latter marries temporarily.
Our foremothers knew the price and paid for their man up front. They withheld sex and qualifed his potential for Mr. Right. Then they married and she rewarded him for husbanding and fathering. This helped him grow into Mr. Right.
Modern women reverse it. They act as discount sellers to capture and marry. Then they act as buyer and expect husband to keep elevating his value at the discounted rewards wife’s willing to give—especially reduced gratitude and cheap respect.
Consequently, modern women rely on hope, because they don’t or can’t qualify a man’s potential for either Mr. Right or lifetime dedication to her.
Women give up their abilities. They provide sex in exchange for faux devotion, that is verbal commitment. Modern women then pay the full price when they lose their man or dump him as inadequate.

Absolutely brilliant!!
Princess Cleanandpretty,
Thank you. I love it when pretty women tell me such things.

Fortunately, I am not a commodity and neither is my husband.
Laurie,
Commodity means something of value, but it misses my main point.
This post uses analogies to simplify and clarify the PROCESSES of people interacting with purpose aforethought.
Wish I could assuage your ire that makes you misfire.

Yeah–I thought I wasn’t seeing things when women are starting to act like how men used to and vice versa–guys love it when girls fight over them—sigh—-
