Hah! Believe me, you're not crazy. My dad would NEVER say something like that about any of his daughters. "Frame it as an investment?" That's just crazy talk... I mean, suppose it all works out and they do "catch" a guy, then what? They're set for life? Not the way things work these days. Doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl, you've got to be self-supporting.
I mean, I'm sure my parents DO want me to fall in love and be happy, and I *know* my mom wants grandkids, but when it comes to monetary support, they don't buy me clothes to catch men with... they buy me textbooks and school supplies! *That's* an investment in my future, y'know?
