I can't imagine why the OP has such a difficult time attracting women.

You and that mouse in your pocket who is part of "we all" have a very different "Truth" than I and everyone I know has.

Please refrain from including those who you do not know, do not have permission to speak for and have an actual mind that they use to make their own decisions for their own lives in that group of "we" that you refer to.

OP has no idea how insulting and hateful he sounds, it's true. I wonder if he treats everyone IRL with the same rudeness?

Hard to say but it could be the "truth" in his real life.

What the Op says makes perfect sense if you remove human emotion, caring, and empathy from a relationship. It makes sense if a person is and can only be self serving with has a lack of remorse for tossing others aside. Essentially, what he says is what love is to a sociopath.

Quote:

...the reality is that sociopaths don't necessarily have malicious feelings toward others. The problem is that they have very little true feeling at all for others, which allows them to treat others as objects...

In relationships, sociopaths are the epitome of Machiavellian creatures... They are duplicity incarnate, with a polished self shown to the world and a covert, hidden self that has a rigid and calculating agenda: assume the highest level of the social hierarchy and win, win, win.
Understanding the Sociopath: Cause, Motivation, Relationship | Psychology Today

This is exactly what the Op is about... removing emotion, making love "economic," and looking at "love" as win/lose with a hidden agenda.

If his theory is valid, one can presume he has a low market value.

[QUOTE Let's accept the fact that "love" is a joke and the relationship world is purely economic [/quote]

We cannot "accept" your assertion because it is not fact, just opinion - a very bitter one at that
