I don't mean you specifically, but if you think about it the way you ask your question suggests women should choose partners based on some arbitrary 'goodness' criteria.

If women go after Trump for financial gain - good for them.

We're ALL just grinding out the rent

No one is proposing to "decision-police women", whatever that is.

Sleeping with him, or voting for him for that matter, is certainly a subject on which people may have a variety of opinions as to whether it is a poor choice.

Or we can't criticize who people vote for either? If that's the case, we can pack up the notion of a political discussion forum.

He had promised her a condo when she moved to Tampa.

Oddly, a lot of her story has already been out there for a while, so in all of the "Gosh, I hope we get to hear it" there's been little interest in what she'd already told others years ago about it.

"WTF is wrong with you?" Since I'm no prize catch myself I'll never attract a rich, handsome hunk. But no level of desperation would cause me to want to get horizontal with Trump - his money, fame, power? - None of it would be enough to overcome my gag reflex. On the other hand, the world's oldest profession has required its practitioners to deal with some pretty skeevy characters.

If people were willing to reward me with money and things in exchange for sex it really wouldn’t be that much worse than working retail or construction or some shit.

Well, maybe a billion dollars and it could only be once and I would have to be wasted out of my mind. But even that's a stretch.
