Sex, power and money are obsessions to men who's insecurities they wish to fix through these means. There's typically a reason why the billionaire always looks like the guy with the micropenis.

Guys don't need to feel insecure to sleep with beautiful women. Its what everyone wants to do.

Comments like yours are typically coming from women.

speaking as a woman who fucks women:

if you're not an idiot its really easy to avoid the problematic ones who just want something from you. or enjoy your time with them without letting them take advantage.

I'm not so sure billionaire types know more that a handful of people who do not want something from them and even if they do they would recognize it, especially the ones who are CEOs of large companies, a group were sociopaths are far more common than amongst the general population.

Further, I bet their mindset is one of taking advantage of people offering them sex because of wanting something from them, and that they do it because they're selfish sociopath cunts.

I think the explanation that they're sociopaths whose relation to everybody around them is entirelly transactional and who thus will use attractive women for sex when they feel they can which given their fortune and positions of responsability is probably common enough (so, very much an entirelly objectifying mindset leveraging very steep power inbalances), is a much more likely explanation than "insecurities".

I've worked in Investment Banking at the mid-level, and even at that level there's already lots of sociopathy and psychopathy as well as disfunctionality around sexuality and the amounts of money sloshing around and being made by such people is far less than with CEOs of large publicly traded companies. Whilst these are not psychologically normal and healthy people, from what I've seen "insecurities" isn't usually their problem.
