the only difference is we are not gonna stick around pretending to like you for you, while building our attraction to you based on things that can be taken from you

-can your social standing be taken from you? absolutely

-can your career be taken from you? either by an industry dying or something else, yes.

-friends? distance, kids, even themselves can take them from you. failing that, old age & death.

what's left? you. your personality & your looks, one which only father time can take from you.

are these things cool bonuses to a man whose already attracted to you? absolutely
