[QUOTE=BuildingGuy;5112032]"I have spoken at length over the years with a number of these women about business. One woman with whom I am friendly has built up a recording and video studio on a large chunk of land that she owns free and clear. Another owns a small sting of nail salons. Another owns a few mid-Wilshire condos. Another owns houses in Korea and New York. They may genuinely like you and see you for lunch, dinner or even a vacation. But they "love you" as much as your stock broker or real estate agent loves you. When you have gone out for a night on the town and are basking in the glow of a romantic evening back at the hotel. Just remember that the relationship is purely transactional from the other party's viewpoint. Like them, lust for them but don't love them. ".[/QUOTE]And in what way is this different than marriage?
