ORIGINAL: Starbuck09 Lady but that is not what I and many others are arguing. I have no problem with gifts. I however dislike tribute intensely. Those who enjoy it fair enough. Those who think I am a lesser man for not enjoying it that is not fair enough. There have been men here who have couched their opinion in less than graceful language as there ave been women who have done the same. I have no problem whatsoever with your second paragraph that is how I conduct myself when on a date. I too object to "tribute" when demanded by someone other than a pro dominant. When I was a proD, I had set rates, and my clients got good value. I have never asked anyone that I was personally interested in for money. But, when I am in a relationship? Yes, I do expect gifts. I want my coils of rope, and little cakes, and ebony knitting needles! Texas Ma'am is in a long term committed RELATIONSHIP with a man who was not wealthy when she met him. This man helps with her handicapped relatives, thinks of her when he is working abroad, and generally makes her feel valued for WHO she is, rather than what she can provide him in kinky fashion. Because TM~~a lady with her own job and income~~ used the dreaded T word for the gifts that her man freely gave her, she was marked as a golddigger, a harlot, and a braggart! By men, pretty much. The first thing that came to my mind was, "Jealous, guys?" That still is how I feel. TM loved that guy when he was just a guy with a job, and if he was still a guy with a job, she would love him just the same. But she dared show off! Imagine! And so the mudslinging began. It makes me sad, but not for myself. Some folks dig their own pits and won't examine their own behaviour.
