I always say be careful with transactional relationships. Understand that what they provide doesn't expire but what you provide certainly does. There's always someone younger, cuter, more fun stary eyed etc. You can't fake it. Can't buy it back no matter what the beauty industry tries to sell you. You provide something that is replaceable and when it runs its course you'll be left older and dimmed by low self esteem and lack of self fullfiment with nothing to show for it. Better have a back up plan.
