Are woman mean? (219)
smoky: Mmmmm .. interesting thread this.
And some highly amusing come-backs from GT.
I can see his point of view. I`ve often wondered about this subject myself (being from the Old School of thought myself). But now I have cracked it!
When I am INVITED it means the other person is doing the paying. When I issue an invitation it means I am paying. When we choose something together it means we split the cost.
Also ..... if we going somewhere and the place looks expensive, I say so ..... No ways am I paying the Earth for a plate of food I could eat at home for a fraction of the cost!.... Soooo .. the financial transactions are made clear before entering the restaurant! .... OR .... I order what I can afford to pay for!
A bit of zig-zagging thru a relationship also works ...... He pays for the meal, I pay for the drinks. Or if we eating at home, the invited one brings along some delicasy in eating or drinking form ....
With the horendous prices of eating out these days, tis not fair for the man to always have to foot the bill ... even if he can afford to.
With my guy (yes it states in my profile I`m in a relationship) we have settled for eating at his or my place ..... and we both contribute to the cost of the food/drinks ... but also taken into consideration is the fact that I am a more accomplished gardener so he saves on valuable gardening advice and manual labour ..... and I clean windows too! I even clean things he doesnt know how to clean!
Oh my!And some highly amusing come-backs from GT.

Conrad73: Oh my!
Oh ja .. I KNEW someone would a slant on that! hahahaaaaaa ...... Well darl, the man doesnt know that an oven has to be cleaned! .... or dish cloths sterilized! .. and numerous other things that men dont know about .......
Oh yes, he does know to keep the whisky replenished! and to always have cold beer in the fridge!... and some schnapps to put in the espresso .......

Am I reading this right? A lady on my side? Darling, look out for me as I will start the engine and be with you soon. On second thoughts so, lot of fuel money so will give you a call if in your area.
I love the way you and your man have it arranged. Absolutely correct way to act and you are applauded.
josingleinspain: If you are so happy and content why would you be on dating sites???????????????? Including some you atually parted money for?????????????? mmmmmmmmmmmmmm not to sure your the type to part with money under any circumstances. Just seems a bit strange for you to do
Easy one as travelling alone around mainland Europe for many months can be much more fun if now and again I cpuld meet up and have a chat and meet a new person, as I am a people person at heart. So having found an US site whereon I could change my location as I travel along it meant I would look at a map, home in on a city and before long a meeting was arranged. Naturally I paid as I expected to (wind up merchant). Two of those lovely ladies are still in contact with me, one I even moved in with for a couple of months as it suited us both at that time. Two birds with one stone so to speak. I visited all the places I wanted to and had a great time as well. I then moved on down to Spain to get myself a permanent base here and job done.
I will be setting off again soon around Spain and may well be in your area and having changed my location to your city or town you could be in for a free meal and a couple of glasses of wine. My age will not matter and neither my looks as we have learnt on this site, not you I hasten to add, you are much to sensible.
My expenditure spreadsheet, yes I always keep it up to date, shows an entertainment spend of 4,800 Euro for 2009. Money well spent as I have met some very interesting ladies and mostly it has left me sad as there are too many people living alone but not by choice as I am. Expenditure for 2010 on entertainment is lagging behind as searching for and buying a place and settling in has taken up a load of my time.
Thank you for asking!
GenuineMale: And woman like you?
Don't be silly, fit nubiles don't like me, they love me (some even want me to me their parents)
GenuineMale: I have always found that after the meal we would have a coffee and sit and talk and I wish them luck in their search.
That's where you are going wrong (or doing something wrong over dinner)....Normally in my book's, after dinner...we flip a coin...breaky in her's or mine.

Conrad73: Make sure it is Apple not Pear!
Why? Kirsch is very nice...GenuineMale: Great stuff Yash124g and loved your city and the underground city as well. Good ghost tours to be had. To help you along, take me serious when I make comments on others threads, if I create a thread I will be mostly winding up as it appeals to my sense of humour. Sure, not everybody appreciates that but we all have a sense of humour but most are not the same. I could never laugh at someone slipping on a banana peel but you know many do. So I consider my humour at least get's people going and when you look at all the replies and comments it is also obvious that woman love having men spend money to entertain them. Once they are married and are part of the finances they suddenly change their views completely as spending affects them also. Bit unfair that really in my book.
As to my material possessions these have been worked for very hard and now give me much pleasure. I was not boasting as I do not like boasting but explaining, sorry if it came over as boasting.
To end this thread as I feel it must now end, I made the point as I feel it should have been aired. I have spoken to many men living alone but not through choice as I am, they all felt the same that they wished for a fair thinking lady who appreciated them and not their spending power. All they wanted to meet was a lady who did not take it for granted that they meet the bill. A lady who knows the value of money so takes in to consideration that if the first meeting could lead to more and eventually give both parties what they desire, a long term partnership, then best to start as you mean to go on, share life as it really is.
If the lady the man meets is just on the site for friendship and nothing long term, then the guy is going to have to pay all, so no objections to that. Most people meet via sites hoping for a long term relationship and that is fact.
Personally I have had enough of this subject and I hope that you have all had further thoughts about it and perhaps in some way enjoyed the writing. Thank you and have a great life.

Ha! You gotta hope GM! A thread like this is gonna live forever .... even when you`re long gone! Someone is gonna resurrect it, for sure. Everyone loves controversial subjects ... gives some grit to get the teeth into!

Hi Gm, there all types of humour in this world, but the important point here is that CS is a community & to be in a minority of one in enjoying a one-sided joke at the expense of others is very sad.. 
However, while you say it is a wind-up, everything seems to relate in monetary terms to you, especially when it involves women.. As all the fine ladies on here have shown, taking them to an expensive restaurant is not the only option and nor does it have to be the top priority, whereas getting to know each other most certainly is!!
As to my comments regarding your profile, I'm pretty sure we ALL work hard for our possessions, we just do not go around ticking it off like a check-list.. In reference to boasting, it is how you describe your friends must feel in that they do not own such a great motor home.. To me, I think it is more understandable if people are envious of a happy couple as that is not easy to find, but amazing when one does..
As for the men you meet, I wonder what the thoughts of the women who left them are, as no doubt there are just as many men who have taken advantage of a women's trust, and maybe a lot more..
You are also very wrong in your assumptions regarding both friends & those that evolve into a loving relationship, as through contact you will surely learn not only the type of person you each are but what the common ground is, not only in terms of costs but also what you each enjoy from life.. Compromise is the main word and being thoughtful for another's interests..
TBG, I only tell it as I see it and you are an amazing women who does her children proud!!

I had made up my mind that I was not going to add any more to this thread. I was hoping it would die off, what have I started here then I ask myself. Relax Yash124g, dont take life so serious now. You write well and speak well but tell me just this, are you a real Scot? If you are, how come you are letting your fellow countrymen and woman down. Scottish people have a name for penny pinching and I learnt it when I was living in Scotland.
Ssshhh, my collection of moths is nearly 10yrs old now!! Maybe that's why our whisky is soo popular.. I like a laugh as much as anyone but am serious by nature.. 
Also, try using more emoticons to further emphasis your points..

"Penny Pinching" really means Spending Money Carefully and Wisely, not being Miserly.Sometimes, paying for someone else to enjoy something brings its own reward.
Once, back in SA, there was a small movement of people who took great pleasure in "Doing something outrageous and for no reason" ..... and one of the things was, when paying to go thru a Road Toll Booth, to pay for the next car behind one - driving off - and having the secret pleasure of imagining the surprise of that driver ... hahhaaaa ..... One that gave me the greatest pleasure (and gleeful laughs) was paying for a great big luxury Mercedes Benz waiting behind me..... and I was driving a ramshackle pick-up truck!

This is FACT!
At least twice that I recall, once Cheltenham and once Ross on Wye in the UK I had the fortune of being sat at the same table as a dear old age pensioner, I was not at that time anywhere near that age, so I did as you did, went out first and paid for their meal. Great feeling. BUT THEY DID NOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
At least twice I paid for a weeks holiday, the first time so an employees daughter could go with her mum as the mum really needed a break and alone would not have been much fun for her, also a honeymoon for an employee and her new husband as they were both deserving. BUT THEY DID NOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
I thought this bloody thread would be over. I am NOT boasting but making a point. Those instances gave ME a great feeling.
