Same here. Having a shining fashion accessory on your arm when you go out is nice, but doesn’t begin to compete with the rewards I get from an equal relationship based on plain old (stupid?) love. If being with me isn’t rewarding enough without extra enticements, I’m not going to get enough of what I want. A status increase won’t compensate.
The reverse deal proposal would make me doubt the potential mate’s grasp of my psychology, or her sense of self-worth, or both. Either of which is a big turn-off.
