Women and The "Grass is Greener in the Streets Syndrome"
There's something very interesting I've come to find with women in my time, and it is this thing you can call "The Grass is Greener in the Streets Syndrome". There's probably another term for it but this one captures it perfectly too.
This syndrome is not experienced by all women but a great majority of women, though. It can be explained thus: it is the belief that the grass is greener in the streets. Many women walk around with the belief that if they decide to stop being decent and go into the venture of making money off their bodies they would be better off than wherever they currently are now as decent ladies.
This is something at the back of the mind of most women. They could be married, in good relationships, with kids, with good jobs, etc. but somewhere in the back of their minds they think about it sometimes, "if I quit all these stuff I'm doing and just be all about making money off my body I'll very likely do so well, make so much money and be living a higher standard of life".
I said this is at the back of their minds, but it's at the front of the minds of some women. The position this thought is in varies from woman to woman. Some women are actually greatly tempted by this thought, while some only just think about it once in a while and never feel the push to do anything about it.
Some women even give in for short periods and try it out but probably can't sustain it because a more decent life comes more naturally to them.
Obviously I'm only talking about women who are not already living the life of being focused on making money off their bodies. A lot of women think about money and how rich a man is before getting married or getting into a relationship with him, but that doesn't mean they are really about the making money off their bodies lifestyle.
The true making money off your body lifestyle only has money in consideration and nothing else. A woman who has decided to live that lifestyle would not consider looks, talent, personality, temperament, love, or anything else. Just money! She can date or marry someone she can't stand for the life of her just to get that money.
She wouldn't mind any dishonourable arrangement like flat out prostitution, being a side chick to a married man, etc. She'll throw away all consideration of honour or society's accepted morality standards.
That is a woman who has decided to live that lifestyle. And this lifestyle right here is what a great majority of women in different walks of life think about sometimes and feel like they'll probably be better off if they had toed that path.
As the economy gets worse everywhere in the world and people struggle, female friends of mine have chipped this in to the conversation. Some say it jokingly and you know they'll never attempt it, while some say it like they're actually seriously considering it. I've even had to advise a female friend who told me she was going to break up with her boyfriend and only do anything with men for money from here on our and I had so much to say.
I told her about how I cannot really say to a person what path they should take, and that this path that has to do with only doing things with men for money can be objectively immoral but it can also be OKAY.
If you meet only men that aren't looking for love but just a good time (which is most men), then it would be okay to only be with them for the money. But if you meet men that want love and something serious while you're just gold digging then that is just a downright dirty thing to do.
Then I began to explain this syndrome, though, and that there's usually some delusions involved in the belief that doing only for the money would usually make you better off. I said it's not as easy as women usually think it is.
I know a girl who had a good relationship that has been going on for years, then one day her friend told her about a rich man who was in town and wanted to have a night with them. The man was going to pay a good amount of money. The girl's boyfriend found out about this discussion and warned her not to go, but she went anyways. Clearly choosing the money over what they had.
She did it, got the money and lost her relationship. But after this one time she and her friend couldn't get more deals. The rich man left town after he was done with what he was doing, and the girls tried to keep in touch but he was not interested. As a rich man into the lifestyle he could have a new girl everyday ready to have one night for good pay, so why keep in touch with them?
The girl had thought after the deal there would be more with the same man and she'll become rich, but that was over just after that night. They tried to get other deals but they never got big deals anymore. Rich men are in short supply and they have a lot of options, so it could be difficult for your turn to come 😂.
The girls were only getting small offers, some of them very laughable offers from street boys and other regular guys. This was not the life they came for. After about a year she went back to her boyfriend begging, and crazy enough he accepted her back. I guess that's how much he loves her.
She told him the things I've just told you, but it's possible she left some things out, some things that I know are part of the dangers, disappointments and difficulties of relating with men only for the money.
Apart from the fact that rich men are in short supply and have a lot of options, and that you'll mostly get small laughable offers from other men, other negatives can be that you can get robbed, harmed, etc.
You can also be deceived into thinking a man is rich only for you to waste your time, efforts and everything without getting anything from him. He could also defraud you.
He could be rich but go broke when you're in a precarious situation like pregnant or now with a child or more.
It is possible to make it on this path, but you need to know the dangers of the path too, and how it's by no means just a straight road. I just think that when women think about how they'll probably be better off if they took this path they usually don't consider all these dangers, disappointments and difficulties.
