i do find one of her confessional statements interesting. she doesnt mention dating, or love, or a connection, or common interests.........but she does say......

“Going from nothing to everything is pretty amazing,” Erika said in her confessional. “I was broke and I was a cocktail waitress and Mr. Girardi was my customer for a year.”

She wanted to get out of her normal, mundane life.  She chose a much older and extremely wealthy man to help her escape to a life of luxury.  I actually think Tom is an attractive man due to his personality (from what I can see), drive and intelligence.  I do think she sought out an older and very well off man.  I can't see her looking for a blue-collar individual.

Exactly....their on screen relationship appears to be a business one. I never thought for 1 second that this was a love affair. I am sure she appreciates all he has done for her but that's all I see there. IMO

I love how Tom was the one who chose to continue to return to where Erika was the cocktail waitress, yet Erika is the one who is perceived as the pursuer.

She probably would never have dated him had she not heard or known he was super successful.  

I think he's attractive in an erudite manner.

In other words, “She would never have dated him for his looks alone,” but “I totally find him attractive.”  LOL!  This is amazing.

Win, 

He obviously is a very well known intelligent successful man and I am sure he has given Erika a life that she could have only dreamed of.

BUT....I do not think she would have given him a second look if he was a customer in the restaurant she worked in and he was Tom Girardi the Maintenance Man who earned 50,000 a year instead of Tom Girardi the big wig Attorney who is worth Millions or more.

@TenderMercies

i didnt say that.......

i do think that they both had something the other one wanted......maybe more than one thing. just speculating of course.

nothing wrong with that type of relationship at all  if that is what it is......and both people go into it knowing that.
