When Love, Money and Bodies Turn Relationships Into Transactions

I often hear women say they cannot date a broke man, yet some also depend on men to meet nearly all their financial needs. That can turn relationships into transactions rather than genuine partnerships. Money should not be the only standard for choosing a partner, just as a woman's body should not be treated as her only value. Financial independence, mutual respect and shared values matter more than who can pay the highest price. No amount of financial support ever justifies abuse. A relationship should never make either partner feel bought, controlled or entitled to harm the other.
