Once you have read the threads in the EU Forum on the question of payments for meals and wine, which can run to around 100 Euro per couple in a good expensive restaurant or if both are sensible and the lady fair could be less than half of that.

Two strangers argee to meet to see if one oir the other or hopefully both can find what they are looking for. Both could benefit! So why does one pay the bill and the other eat free. Is it not best to split the cost 50 /. 50 and then if it does not work out than both have put in the same time, effort and money.

If it works out and becomes a great relationship both can treat the other at any time as they wish and both will appreciate the gesture and hopefully be happy ever after.

Or does the fact that it has always been that way, the man pays the woman keeps her purse shut so why change it, meet fairness in this day and age of financial turmoil.

Think it over carefully and if you wish the world could be as I wish, then vote that way.

If you feel "it has always been like that" means it must continue than vote that way.

Well one person agrees with you...........oh wait a minute........it's from a man.........over 41............not you is it?

Apart from the fact that any woman from this site who arranged to meet up with you is going to expect you to whip out a calculator at the end of the date...............why have you got such a grumpy looking photo on your profile when you have 2 much nicer ones you could've used?

You don't seem as if you want to project a positive image of yourself which makes me wonder why you are on a dating site at all.

IMO, your profile doesn't project a positive image eiher.
You devote half of your profile to the fact that you own a house and a very large comfortable Motor Home. The other half explains that you don't want to pay a meal for the lady you would like to meet. Your two threads in the forums have the same subject: women are mean because they expect you to pay for a meal.

Ha Ha Ha, no not my vote.

No need for a calculater as easy to offer to pay for your half, you may actually be amazed that I will say "no, thats OK, I will get this one" and if we decide to meet up again we can talk about it and agree on future payments. But I do not like woman to take it for granted that they are going to have a free night out. That is insulting to men and very bad manners.

If you were walking down the street here in Spain and I was walking toward you, mostly I would have a serious face as my main photo shows. But I can smile and mostly do once I meet up with a person and start a conversation, even if I am paying at a Supermarket for my purchases. I am actually known as a friendly nice guy.

I wonder about that as well. Judging from the ladies I have met up with to date they have each and everyone been very nice but paying their way, no way. That is not just in Spain but generally around Europe. I travel a lot and hope to find a nice travel partner that expects to help with the finances. I have travelled alone and can continue. A lady recently came with me on a 1,000km trip around Spain and actually handed me 30 Euro at one supermarket which was half of the bill. Work out the fuel cost, the overnight costs, the restaurant costs. See what I am getting at?

Thanks for that and yes I agree it must put off many ladies but at least if I ever do get a reply than it will not be from a person that requires someone to board her, feed her, support her in all other things.

I wish a person that has her life in order, has not gone through life without building for her retirement and is not going to be dependant on me in any way but to enjoy life and travelling and being near to each other, but not in each others pocket, therefore give to each other what money can not buy.

The fact that I have not had one single friend request or such like proves to me that what I wish for is not out there on dating sites. Perhaps I am wrong, but at least I have put my requirements to the market place and if no takers than what have I lost.

I look at this as almost a business deal that will give each side what they require and love is pie in the sky until perhaps it comes along after a while which will also be great for both parties.

Yes, you are right, I was in business for very many years in the UK and happily supported two very long marriages. For those who do not know, in the UK a court considers a marriage long if 16 years plus, but I have said very long.

What am I missing?

A life? Look at my profile mister, already had a long life and am fit and healthy and hope to be around a lot longer. I list on and off dating sites as it pleases me but still have a wonderful life as many friends and good tennis. What more do I want I often ask myself without really knowing the answer. No doubt you know what you want but as you are on this dating site you have not got it either.

I am on this one as it is FREE! beer

Wow, is this getting out of my depth? Am I on the same planet as this guy? If this is his sense of humour that is OK, but if he is serious about what he writes I suggest ladies beware! He will sit opposite you and flash his credit card that may or may not be accepted and be looking at you hard to see what characterology tells him about you, but has he looked in a mirror with eyes open?laugh

Ja! I am replying to your post commenting on the 100 Euro dinner for two in Very Expensive Restaurant.

If a guy chooses such an expensive restaurant for a First Meeting meal .. then he is a fool!

Expensive restaurants are for either someone with stacks of money and its not a problem .... OR for someone with an already established relationship.

First meeting meals should be of the cheaper variety, where talk and getting to know each other is more important than the food consumed ... or the bill at the end...in my opinion anyway.drinking

Interesting to see that 40% of woman 41+ think money grows on trees. Mine only have lemons and oranges on them.

Anybody know where to purchase money trees? Tried all the local garden centres and they all look at me funny.

Love the bit about my age group, am still chuckling away here and not able to stop.
You are one great lady and I am very pleased to be able to say in future to my children and grandchildren and greatgrandchildthat I had the honour of corresponding with a wonderful lady in Zurich. Bless you and may you live a very long and happy life. See you in heaven then and the good part will be that Phoenix will not be there.
I have a belief that "Heaven" is a very small place ... mainly reserved for all the animal creatures from Earth. Any humans making it there for any length of time ... well ..... Judge not, that you may be judged!

If you and I make it there, be sure that Phoenix will be there too!grin ..along with others we thought to never see again!
