How can she survive on such little emotional sustenance?

Question - (21 January 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 21 January 2011)
A male United States age 51-59, *hawncaff writes:

Sometimes, at night, when things are calm, I think about this girl who I spent the better part of last year thinking about, spending money on, and being emotionally tortured by.

I distanced myself from her starting in October and now only communicate with her sporadically. But I still wonder why she is who she is.

Basically, she is a beautiful woman, 27 years old, a model from Europe...who has never had a boyfriend. She has had many "open" relationships, often at the same time, some with married men, but no one with whom she has been exclusive.

She sometimes has casual affairs with rich older men when she needs money. She is really that beautiful and charming where she can command high prices for a night.

And yet, she has periods of bleak depression where she can cry for a full day.

Ultimately, I found our relationship draining. I have discussed it on this board before, but it was about me paying for her and feeling like I was just another "fan" whom she would cajole with sweet words and a smile.

My question is, though, what goes on in a woman's mind like this? Can a person really live a satisfied life on the basis of such non-intimate relationships? Why can't she or why doesn't she want to commit?

Has anyone ever known someone like this?

I know it is her life, but I am just wondering how someone can survive on such little emotional sustenance. I am just trying to understand her.

Should I be angry with her or should I feel sorry for her?

Thanks for your insights.

she is a prostitute....she has all these open relationships to sustain her lifestyle....but whenever she has a day where she cries for the whole day...she knows what she does is wrong....and feels sorry for herself....she feels lonely for real and knows she has a bad problem....greed for money.

I am sure most of us here are pretty....I work as a model for qvc...but I don't need to sleep with men for my money...I earn it in a decent fun way :-)

Some people do not need an emotional connection. Especially depending on how they were raised, culture etc.
