Talking from experience, there are some women I meet who seem to have no concept of validational relationships. They purely talk of relationships in transactional terms and have a deer in headlights look when I talk about how a man could just sweep them off their feet without spending much money or time on her. Of course you could chalk it up to the wall or poverty or something, but I wonder whether some of these women have ever even met a sexy alpha with a backbone. It's common knowledge in TRP that the overwhelming majority of men are supplicating betas, so could a lot of women be only seeing these beta men in their real life and developing their criteria for relationships around this one-sided experience?
