Social graces require that she play it off as people being "nice", but I guarantee you she knows precisely what's going on. Women aren't stupid.

She may have even deliberately cultivated this relationship, but that's not something a rando internet person like I can determine.

You're right. Many women know what's going on. But many actually don't.

A lot of women live in this contradictory state where they know subconsciously but consciously they don't know at the same time. To help illustrate... It's the same type of human contradiction many software engineers face with AI, unable to admit that it's in the process replacing a skillset that upheld their identity. It's a form of lying to oneself... convincingly.

I would say off the seat of my pants if I were to give you very very estimated numbers.... like 45% know explicitly what they are doing, than 35% live in this contradictory state I described above, and a good 20% have no clue.

>She may have even deliberately cultivated this relationship

Oh many women do this. But they don't necessarily know that these relationships only exist because they are beautiful and that they are women. Again... many know... but not all know.

>Women aren't stupid.

This isn't true. Many women are really stupid. Many women are smart too.

Some half of women are below average intelligence.
