Not always. He like me doesn't automatically translate to I like you too. It's an entitlement statement, pal. Also, the reason most men are roaming around thinking women owe them our bodies.
As for PPM they work for me and I see nothing wrong in anyone getting a taste of their bits and cash reward. It doesn't matter how we brand it, dating, courting, and affairs all have one thing in come, sex for money.
Most people won't be in relationships if they weren't getting any material rewards. Arguing otherwise is cowardly. All these talks about not dating for money are crap. Sure, some people can date without expecting a gift or financial benefit from the guy, but how long does such a relationship last?
There are times I just go for the sex and do not expect any additional reward from the guy. And I don't call it dating. It's casual sex or benefiting friends. But when you are dating there are financial and sexual needs you expect your partner to fulfil and that's where sex for money exchange begins.
