“At least that’s what people say.”
“Do you realize what that means? Women aren’t necessarily calculating,
choosing their partners on the basis of the math.”
“Oh? What are they doing then?”
“A surprising number of these women seriously believe in the purity
of the love they feel for a rich man—that it’s got nothing to do with the
fact that they’re getting expensive gifts and meals at good restaurants. In
their mind, they’re not calculating anything. They really believe they love
the guy. And yet, while they may believe it, it isn’t entirely true. Because
even though they keep telling themselves, He’s so kind, and I really love
him, the moment their honey drops out of his Elite Street life or comes
down with a terminal disease, the moment his loaded parents go bankrupt,
they start singing a different tune. All at once, without any qualms
whatsoever, they say, I thought I loved him, but I was wrong, and then,
with hardly a moment’s hesitation, they throw him over. There are plenty
