Reducing human interaction to disingenuous, transactional terms like this one are the private-life version of "building a personal brand." It's evidence that you don't view other people, or even yourself, as having intrinsic value outside of what can be provided to others.
I fear sometimes that sociopaths have inherited the earth.
This is a very uncharitable interpretation. "to pull" is slang for being attractive to others (see latin "adtrahere"), and i didn't mean to imply more than that.
Sorry, I didn't meant to imply that it was a problem with you on a personal level. In retrospect I see why you interpreted it that way. My mistake.
I mostly meant to say that there seems to be something wrong with society at large and that it's leaking into our language. I view it in terms of psychological framing (or something like it). We use these very utilitarian and transactional phrases more and more frequently, and I suspect it may reflect a deeper change in the way we think about others.
