romance is really a business

Romantic relationships are really a business because each of the two participant is trying to get the most from the other person by giving them the least. They are also a negotiation and can culminate in a partnership and children. In fact, most romantic relationships are started, knowingly or not, to allow the couple to have children.

C.M. Fabara realized that contradicting the prevailing understanding of what romantic relationships and love are, romance is really a business where the man and the woman both work to get the most they can by giving the least to the other person. Of course, sometimes participants in a romantic relationship "fall in love" and start giving the most they can to the other person. However, their purpose is always to get the most in return. Also, keep in mind that love is basically need. And the way it works is by making individuals feel love for someone they calculate will be able to and will satisfy one or more of their needs, such as sex, protection, connections, etc.

information deprivation

Hiding or depriving individuals or groups of people of facts to keep them ignorant and powerless. Individuals and organizations do that to protect themselves, to monopolize power, or to more easily take advantage of others.

I think it's safe to say that at some point and to varying degrees everybody practices information deprivation against those they interact with in order to trick them.
