I think the fact that many of the young women here are in their 20s and 30s and the successful SDs are in their 50s and 60s that it makes sense to take advantage of their wisdom. you would be a silly fool not to benefit from the wisdom of an intimate partner who is on your side and knows your strengths and value. And first hand life lessons, character building, and business savvy are priceless contributions. Do you ask an SB to forego the very thing thing she needs most (money, especially when you have so much and she has so little) to provide that? no, that is selfish and withholding! But SBs need to understand the incredible opportunity they have to pick the brain of someone who has accomplished success. Why would you even baulk at that? If you do not want to be mentored so be it, but the original intent of SB/SD relationships was to help young women advance themselves in life. I find the question to be the exact problem with the current ideology of the bowl. It has been so bastardized from its original intent. It has been completely over taken by a sex trade mentality. I'm sorry ...but seriously? These guys did not get to where they were by sheer luck. Many peopple would give their left nut to have their ear the way SBs do.
