Nope. Just because a man does things for my wife don't mean he is doing it out of altruism. He could be doing something for her because he is hoping for a BJ or ******* or a little backdoor action.
Can it not be that A is doing something to preserve B simply because B is important to him? What if B did nothing for him and he got nothing out of it? Would he still do the action? Just because you are paid in a different coin doesn't mean you are NOT getting paid and thus doing an altruistic action.
