felixis99: the first few dates can be awkward regardless

If a man is continualy paying for everthing date after date and she dosent put her hand into he pocket well shame on him for being so stupid,and shame on her for leading him on a wild goose chase,

Hi, Felix...., im trying to understand a few things in this thread. Do you care to explain why today a man should want to spend money on a woman when they haven't met a woman yet or barely know them? Will some women like men more if they spend money and pay for everything. Does this mean when a couple like this gets married that the guy will still pay for everything? I usually believe in the 50/50 thing.


I also agree, as the Beatles once put it, "money can't buy me love."

Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend
If it makes you feel all right
I'll get you anything my friend
If it makes you feel all right
Cause I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love

I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
but what I've got I'll give to you
For I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love

I would suggest that you ask this from a woman who you are planning to date. otherwise it simply seems like a post with the goal of baiting and trouble making

why should anyone do anything for someone they've never met?

I am completly open minded but because you don't like my views on people paying 50 50 on a date you don't like it,maybee you should add something positive to the conversation instead of trying to personally verbally attacking me.

I am skeptical of that because everything you have asked has already been explainedin earlier posts

and men who whine about money are horribly unattractive as are women who do the same - this is a personal issue best left to the man and woman involved - no right or wrong

we are all entitled to out opinions & preferences - period - and it is more functional to find someone who shares them than pick arguments - THAT is my opinion

felixis99: exactly - he should be banned in my opinion
Excatly everyone is entitled to their opinion and if they have one and it dosen't agree with some one it dosent make it right that they should be banned.

I believe the OP has a legitimate topic, as any other, for posting in a thread. Better topic than others like naming CS members who are tossers, when that is illegal activity on CS.

I think I can appreciate your being skeptical. However, I do not always read every post in a thread and there is no requirement anyone has to read them.

I am here in the forums mostly for the entertainment factor and to make new friends if and when possible. I also respect your opinion on money.

I wont reply to your post again, or bother you in any other way.

Most men I have dated have paid for the date......

THEIR decision to do so not mine....

I offer to contribute.

Sometimes it comes down to the financial situation of the people involved...

Usually I try to reciprocate by asking them over to my home for a meal if there have been several dates and I like the person involved

Unlike a lot of other posts on CS, yours, alrhough unpalatable for some, is valid.
Maybe next attempt more affable terms could be used. laugh

I may be politicaly incorrect but it seems some women on here just can't handle a man with views of hes own that isent intent in trying to get them into bed.

I always believed that the person that requests the date should pay. Out of guilt I usually do though. It feels wrong if I don't. Society has a way of screwing with people’s minds.

I think the man paying stems back to a time long gone when not many women were working...or those that were wernt earning much money. Times have changed wine

I agree but some women will be offended or believe that the man is cheap if he doesn't pay. Someone women will be offended if we pay so we cannot win no matter what..rolling on the floor laughing tongue
