That article is complete nonsense...
A man sees a woman, he approaches and he wants to bang her. Something both parties will enjoy. Maybe it grows into something else maybe not. But this is the jist of it. Me and you have sex and maybe alot more sex and I pay for all your shiit.
A woman sees a man and hes a potential source of:
Attention
When you have nothing but your appearance going for you the attention of a successful man makes you feel better and justifies you. How else can you tell if you are in the same league as a man without the accreditation or salary to prove it? You hold his affections...
Freebies
Men like the company of women and men do things that cost money so the women they happen to be with get free stuff. Movies, dinner, clubbing, etc.
Fun
Men are the providers of fun stuff. They basically join us in our hobbies. How many women on POF put boating as a hobby but do not own a boat? Or list they like to travel then list some crappy a$$ job that in no way can support that life style? I'll answer for you.. ALL of them!
An entire effing life
A woman marries a man and while he's out working paying for a house, food for the family and everything else that life itself includes. She's home cleaning, changing diapers and washing clothes and maybe even doing something to make her man happy but that doesn't always happen obviously.
Protection
Women do not know how to take care of themselves at all. They pick stupid fights they can't win for reasons that are not worth it. They are weak and stupid and need an intelligent man to keep them safe.
Pleasure
If you really turn her on she might just be happy with a lay to the exclusion of all the other perks because now you know she's a slut. Maybe if she sees you want to keep on laying her she might go for the gusto and try to cash in the other perks a little bit down the line.
So a woman sees you in a bar and she's trying to leverage all this stuff over the default of just banging you anyways and the impression that is going to leave with the people that might know what's going on. She can pick to benefit from one of these things or none. If she thinks you can rail her good all that stuff goes out the window and she goes home with you right there and then... fuggit. If she has more in her sights she may hold out and see if she can get some free stuff from you to test what kind of guy you are. If she sees you're not a chump she might add mental muscles to you so maybe this puts you back in the default scenario you were initially taken out of and you score. If she sees you are a chump she will justify her taking advantage of you by your initial intention of wanting to bang her and how scummy you are for wanting that. Despite the fact that she has done everything in her power to inspire that. Maybe she will grow to detest you because you are such a failure in the areas discussed and will do something nasty to you for entertainment or aggressively try to take advantage of you. And all this while there are dudes she is ignoring that really like her. But they are not good enough because this quick pickup life is so much better. Who knows what's in store for her? How far she can take this? Maybe she meets a rich guy with a huge schlong? Maybe she just bangs a bunch of them and ends up with the guy that really likes her at the beginning? Maybe a combination of these things?
