Here is my opinion on this Issmmm.
You are viewing relationships as a value exchange - this is an outdate concept that applied to a time when marriage was arranged by families who bargained with their children. Times have changed – yet the most important relationship freedom we’ve gained thought the feminist revolution hasn’t been addressed – the idea of personal choice!
Relationships are about connection and chemistry. Money, chores, gifts are important to maintaining a healthy relationship and personal value but they do nothing to actually further the emotional and chemical connection between two people. You can’t fuck a girl with diamonds and expensive dinners. That Wal-Mart stock boy you mentioned earlier will be just as likely to sleep with a woman making 75k a year as a guy making equal her wage IF he has his shit together and doesn't view his value by his bank account.
So all that aside. If you truly want to be progressive. If you truly want to respect women then; love them not for what they offer, and how that balances out against your check book, but for how they make you feel. At the same time believe in your own inner worth and realize that the most attractive parts of you are free and don’t need to be advertised.
Once you’ve got that down you can begin adding all the material aspects.
