Oy. The money thing is becoming exhausting. Just don't pay for anyone, OP. Keep your money to yourself and no one will try to date you or rip you off. You'll have all of your money, and no one around to bother you.

Oooh, another juicy one! I had an anarchist teacher in highschool who made the argument that the female teachers should get paid 20% more than he does, because they had to have a different outfit for every day of the week, wheras he rotated 3 pairs of trousers. That translates to hundreds of $/month. [;)] quote: ORIGINAL: littlewonder obviously you don't know the finesse of seduction. Seems to be a dying art. Sigh. Call me traditional. I like when a man pays on the first date. It tells me he's a gentleman and knows the fine art of seduction. As far as seduction is concerned, what exactly are you asking for? I think seduction/dating ettiquette are skill sets that are learned, like everything else, through practice. No one I've known who has always been charming, smart and situationally aware was born knowing how to seduce women. So, wouldn't the personalities which lend themselves to the gathering of such experience also be terribly unreliable for relationship purposes? I should make a poll: Who wants the fictional "Don Draper" to sweep them off their feet and treat them oh-so-wrong? Maybe you were referring to something else as "seduction" (please clarify if possible).

What's the truth? haha. Cute. Your posting history tells more than I'm sure You wish it did.....Males Must Be Punished.......The Anti-Feminism Bias......Fair Play..... You like to stir up shit. I've read your threads, and chose not to post on them, until this one. They show you to be a man with a chip on His shoulder. ~sweetsub~ I lurk a good deal in the forums, posting where I can put my 2 cents worth. Normally I would call you a troll, a term meaning you go to forums specifically to stir things up. However it feels as if you really want to let out a rant about whats wrong with cm or people in general, there are a good deal of those threads around so one more wouldn't really make a difference and who knows you may feel better.

No it doesn't....it tells you he's a mug....who thinks the way to impress you is through the act of buying you things....and as you appreciate that....you lap it up. Now....there's some thread somewhere about 'topping from the bottom'..and this is as close as it gets. The art of seduction? Buying you things?! Dear lord. It means that you expect to be paid for...and he panders to your expectations.....and it says a lot about a person who trades in monetary form. Personally....if any woman ever.....expected me to pay for her.....I'd shove her head in the food and walk out......that to me is the height of bad manners.....and I'd return those bad manners in kind. The worst kind of woman you'll ever set eyes on.

He could treat me oh-so-wrong for about a week and then I could come back to reality.

DesFIP -> RE: Fair play (8/30/2010 8:57:54 AM)
Look op, it's supply and demand. You asked her out, you pay. Don't want to pay, don't ask her out. Don't worry, she can find lots of guys who are interested in asking her out. Or do you also expect the restaurant to pay you to eat their meals? Once in a relationship, payment depends of who is earning more, who has dependents, etc. Prior to the establishment of the relationship, the one who is chasing pays. You want women to chase you for the privilege of spending time with you? Dream on. You aren't that great.

Hillwilliam -> RE: Fair play (8/30/2010 10:10:01 AM)
I try to ALWAYS pay for the first date. If the lady wants to help pay, I ask if she would care to leave the tip. The amount she leaves gives clues too.

LadyPact -> RE: Fair play (8/30/2010 10:25:58 AM)
I sincerely think the OP should read the thread that was recommended to him. Asking someone to give the general gist of it is like asking someone else to do the work for him. Take gender out of this for a second and let's introduce a different concept. That would be the concept of being a guest. If I invite someone to be a guest in My home, I don't expect them to pay Me as they would do if they were staying in a hotel. That's because I invited them to be there. If I invite someone to dinner, I don't expect them to pay for the meal. That's no different just because the meal is eaten in a restaurant. The same thing goes if we're talking about entertainment. If I invite someone to watch a movie in My home, I don't ask them for half of the cost. Same thing goes if it's a movie out. Unless I specify otherwise, if I invite someone anywhere, I consider Myself the host and that means I incur the costs. It's just plain good manners.

stef -> RE: Fair play (8/30/2010 10:27:55 AM)
Such a classy "gent" you are. Be careful who you put your hands on. Try that with the wrong person and the next thing you see might be the ceiling of the ICU when you regain consciousness. ~stef

And there are an equal (if not more) number of men who....when you go out for something to eat....they're thinking about a nice night...of getting their knobs sucked or getting laid...as a payback for buying that dinner. I once met a man for lunch. We ended up ordering a drink each and we split an appetizer. It was obvious we were not a good match though so we didn't make it to ordering the actual lunch. He walked me to my car...so he could show me where the motel was located behind the restaurant! When I declined he said "but I just bought you lunch!". I laughed and said, well technically you didn't but I'd be happy to reiumburse you your six bucks". Yup....worst kind of man you'll ever set your eyes on....
