ORIGINAL: PeonForHer You know, I'm so strongly beginning to suspect that for many, if not most, people, this whole argument is something that only exercises folk on a forum like this. It would take you 30 seconds - with that 'buying-a-drink-test' - to establish that a man was a tight-fisted git. It would take me about the same to reveal to myself a grasper for what she is, too. I have to say, though, Lady Hib (and I know this is going to infuriate you - sorry!) There are occasions when I'd accept the money from a woman for her drink. It's not happened often, but sometimes I've got the vibe from her of " 'Oh no, matey. I'm not having you thinking that I 'owe you anything in return later'" . . . The stern expression, the set jaw . . . gawd, I've had that a couple of times. . . . but that's another complication for, perhaps, a different thread. Actually, that doesn't infuriate me in the slightest! I do understand the desire to not be "beholden", and sometimes that's why I offer the drink money!
