Ladies, spend your love on someone you actually love, not someone who can buy you nice things. You’re smart enough to take care of yourself and worthy of laying in the arms of someone you actually care for.  If you “buy” something, you can treat it any way you want to. If you allow yourself to be purchased, don’t be upset when you’re treated well for a while and then thrown on the floor when something new arrives.
