      His wife is WAY out if his league. If it wasn’t for that, I’d tend to agree. He has been super successful in life doing sales and marketing, so I wouldn’t buck the idea. It isn’t me, but it is an interesting tool to be aware of in life.

        It sounds horrifying to me still to be honest. I dunno how his wives being hot (is that what we are talking about?) really changes that.

        I just don’t see how the „success“ alleviates the self-commodification and how regimenting your whole life based on some ideas around extracting highest value sounds like a pleasant life?

        But sure, if you do relationships to extract value out of it, then maybe that is a reasonable way to go at it and maybe you even get together with pretty people that makes it worth it for you. if this was me I would still ask myself what the fuck am I doing this for, but maybe thats just my existentialism talking.

          Taking one cherry picked metric as a anything more is insane and your lack of reasoning scope is appalling. Please block me as I have done you. I find interaction with you unpleasant and undesirable.

            Sure,

            I guess Im sorry if my phrasing made that feel very combative, which is not how I intended it. I didn‘t know it was common courtesy to tell people you block them though, so have a good one.
