Certainly.Maybe. It's cultural thing.
I just reject the notion of sex for money under almost all circumstances.
short story time... maybe I have told it before, who knows. Not long enough for popcorn
dated a woman twice locally who responded to me with respect to plural marriage.
second date she wanted me to hang out at her place. Saw that she intended to try to hook me with nookie pretty quick and tried to minimize the fact that she had two young children. 4 and 5 years old more or less.
I am not looking for new sex partners. That is not part of my reason for plural marriage, so when she left me alone for a while to change and apparently take a shower...even my big dumb ass can figure out what that is signaling...I looked around in the kitchen. Yesh. I am nosey but the place was a craphole and I felt bad for the kids.
There was no food. Not just no food by the standards of the guy who thought Bert Gummer was a wuss of a prepper but literally almost nothing for the children to eat.
So, I made my excuses soon there after and left when I could. Made sure I got that she would be around the next morning and then shopped for her and her kids the next day.. some at Sam's, some at Aldi and some at restaurant depot. It was a few hundred dollars and several boxes worth.
like I said,, prepper...so I know how to shop in bulk for food. They were set for a while.
no fake virtue signal thing or oooh look at my good deed. Hell no.
The idea that she was willing with a stranger in hopes of providing better for her kids just freaked me out.
So I did what I could for the kids and talked to her a bit about polygamy. Confirmed that she was just looking for a home with anyone who would have her and tried to give her what advice I could and wished her well.
Told her to call me if there was a food emergency etc but she never did
Probably soMaybe Thai girls are more open and commercial.
I am fine with aspects of marriage being a simple arrangement and know how that was tue most common case in much of history. I suppose I was just lucky. I have loved each of my wives and was willing to love the other which nearly became a wife.
soppy romantic or what have you... transactional is fine as far as it goes but maybe I am greedy
Don't I know it.How much Western girls are interested in what lifestyle her man can provide to her? This is same transaction. Her body for his money.
Just wouldn't be playing a part in thst game even with big bucks to swing around
This is one of reason I put emphasis on attraction and sexuality. It moves deal toward sex for sex instead of commerciality.
This will sound weird but what else is news.
I really don't think about the shenanigans issue that much in the context of a new marriage.
Maybe I am being a bit extreme in my compartmentalizing but since I don't know if I will meet this woman or who she is or what she is like, it just isn't on my mental radar.
Like the idea naturally but just think it fits better in the context of the individuals and tough for me to use broad strokes
