My newest running shoes, not including the custom orthotic inserts, were freaking expensive!
I have a custom orthotic in the one shoe I wear and yeah the price can be scary. Of course, we do what we have to do for our health, right? | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 3:33:39 PM | I would like to be in a coma for a while.
I really REALLY shouldn't joke about this, but I just had to...lol..I had the experience of a glucose induced coma due to these wild variations in my blood sugar levels. Indeed, you DO get some good sleep, but you also vomit all over the place. And..oh boy do you have a headache after ward. And it hurts like mighty hell. And you feel WAY worse than BEFORE you went into the coma.
Here's a helpful hint from Anti Elvis, POF coma boy. If you do decide you're going to lie down and slip into a coma, first put on some clothing. Cause when that person that says "something is wrong" comes through the door with the dudes with the gurney..well you really don't want to get found out, butt naked after lying in your own vomit for a day.
I sure hope they put a sheet over my bare ass in the hall man. | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 4:28:51 PM | Most people in a coma are not dressed-nor are they walking. Furthermore,if and when they regain consciousness they will be covered with a gown or pjs and whatever bedding is appropriate.
Anti Elvis-like you most people do not plan to "slip into a coma" unless they are drinking heavily or doing drugs! They likely don't give a rat's ass if they are seen au naturel if they are drunk or otherwise impaired.  Just think .you may have someone chasing that butt as a result!!! | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 4:33:45 PM | Calgary generally seems to have a lower standard of what's acceptable to wear in public than a lot of other places in the world. I am stupefied that people are OK with wearing their pyjamas (sleep wear people!) out in public.
This happens in other places besides Calgary.
.and professional types seem to carry that mentality of always looking good/sharp
I believe there is a difference between looking presentable and being over done. I remember when I was condo shopping and I almost passed out from the perfume that the sales ladies swam in. I was also amazed of how many layers of makeup they applied on their faces and the fake talons aka nails that they sported. To me, they came across as fake not only in appearance but in personality as well. | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 4:35:25 PM | I too pay out the money for the hair,nails, make up,perfume,clothes,shoes...for a date where the wine and dining were the best of the best. However, I have had the best dates ever after a day of some sort of a casual outside day...just when I thought I would have to say "Excuse me for not being at my best" was complimented on my easy going fun attitude and the way my eyes sparkled....guess sometimes we just have to be who we are and enjoy each others company. Oh ya and clothes can be overrated:) | |

That would be why some of us advocate dates as best being clothing optional. HEHEHEHEHE!!!  | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 5:01:30 PM | I am going to respond before reading this thread so I don't get swayed by other's responses. LOL!
so I am not whining but enquiring here
Plus being a female you have
a) new clothes to buy
b) hair nails and makeup to attend to
c) reciprocal paying of dates.....
You have to have new clothes for a date? Did I miss that memo? Hair, nails & makeup? Some girls look beeutiful o-natural - IMO!
Paying? Why not go on some free dates? Hiking, bird watching, visiting friends, photography, touring historic town sites, window shopping,..the list is endless!
most recently there was a huge disparity in the financial status and I hated that he had to pay most of the time
Did you ever go on 'free dates'...??
What do others think about this? could someone be "too poor" to date?
Money can not buy a good heart, a smart mind or loving personality.  | |

Save money on hair?
Find a friend that took hair dressing, but her a bottle of wine in exchange for a hair do!
Save money on nails?
Go to the nail franchise attached to Walmart...
Anyone else have ideas?? | |

I doubt that man. I lived in the Windsor Park Lofts, a place filled with students so I doubt my 39 year old ass gave them reason to fantasize *LOL*. I waited for days in the hopes they'd come knocking on my door to make an offer *sighs heavily*
I'd just bought a brand new mattress and all my goo got all over it. After that, I used those blow up beds with the pumps built in. The super tall kind are the best. Plus, they're SO easy to move. | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 5:26:02 PM | lol backcountry , well sorry if it seemed liek a slam, i read all her whiny posts, each one getting more pathetic and sad,
poor her and all women alike because out of the goodness of their hearts, they spend their money on improving their ghastly appearance so us men. can gaze on them and want them even more. how dare we slobby men even consider that theseprincess types should have to chip in on the dates , or pay for a sitter to look after the kids they had with some other man,
i mean cmon wtf lol since when did the onus get nailed to the mans forehead to foot the bill for the things some girl you are intending to go on a date with wants
i agree its this womans choice to spend her money in any way she seems to care to , however, get off the soapbox when it starts getting towards thepoor me, someone support my vanity choices .
its a choice, ergo , YOU CHOSE to do it
no man made you, and no man should be or feel urged to compensate you for your own personal vanity choices
as you read all her posts, each one pushes forth more and more ideas on what exactly it is " that you the man" should be compensating this female for
Do you think there would be more sympathy for a man who felt too poor to take a woman out? "
well this is a no brainer , a guy without funds or a prospect of them , gets to stay home alone
i dont know if youve read any female profiles, however i have, and a job and the ability to fend for oneself is of paramount importance
i havent read alot of mens profiles , i highly doubt that on even one of them you will find a man that states a woman must get manicures, pedicures and facials, gel nails, frosted hair tips to cover they greys, and 300 pairs of shoes in order to be a prospect for a date
"I fail to see how caring for one's appearance (regardless of how much they happen to spend detracts from their personality."
hmm well maybe one way , would be that a person is so vain and into themselves that they spend every moment worrying about looking good in someone elses eyes , that they blow all their money on it, then havent got any funds to actually support themselves, thereby making them a burden and a crybaby looking for a sugar daddy to cover their expences....... thats probably one way that is right at the top of the list
although im not stating it as fact , aimed at the op
merely an observation
holdyourhorses......... bang on there , surprised the women didnt ask you to chip in to pay for the mess of accessories they put on to show u the condo

Posted: 10/19/2009 5:37:13 PM | Yeah, if you bought her some nice flowers...she'd probably say something like
"oh now I suppose I'm going to have to spread my legs". WHY>>!!!!???? Don't you have a vase? ...sorry... | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 5:41:12 PM | Too poor to date. I believe the first date should be a walk along the river (hehehe) or maybe just coffee. I have more then once picked up the coffee tab. Yes dating can be expensive but really There are so many things to do to get to know someone that do not require large sums of money. I fail to see why money is an issue. I only want the guy to be able to support himself. I will always take my turn in paying it is only fair. but really there are a lot of women looking for that sugar daddy to help support them and those women should take a hike. The last guy is right if he is poor he is sitting home alone and honestly so should she.
There im a cow LOL | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 5:55:03 PM | | Most importantly, let's not forget that casual sex makes for a great, cheap date. Figure a couple of bucks for a couple of condoms or some saran wrap and a rubber band. Let's not forget the health benefits too. | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 6:29:04 PM | lol well done holdurhorses, personally women with a wack of makeup and perfume on , unless they are showcased under a bar light and a few dozen beers, just are a major turn off
who the hell wants to end up at the end of the night with a mouthfull of this hags makeup on their clothes or in their mouth ( assuming you make the error of of hookin up with them)
the addiction to look better than you really are, should and is in my opinion an act of fraud
just be yourself, accenting a few features , well thats ok , but when you need to start plastering your face to coverup them giant potholes and pimples you get from reactions to the make-up . thats just too much amd it is very noticable no matter how hard you try to bury em
trying so hard to impress a possible "mark" and then not having any money left to actually go out on the date, well thats just stupid
any guy that blows his wad to impress a gal , is just as pathetic tho
if it costs money to impress her, itll cost you money to keep her
maybe im just a bit too practical for this twisted type of dating scene you all are creating tho

Posted: 10/19/2009 8:34:21 PM | Has anyone ever seen the "To Catch A Predator" Dateline series? I just watched it for the first time last night. It's wicked funny. Horrendous. But funny. These just brutally awful, random guys chat on line with cops posing as a teenagers. Then the guys show up at a house hoping to nail the kid they were chatting with and sending naked pictures to when the host of the Dateline show pops out of the closet. He interviews these nasties before they get carted off to jail so you get a really good close up of them. One thing that struck me as weird (not the only thing by a long shot) but one weird thing was how these losers would show up at the house expecting to get laid wearing like the grossest, nastiest, grubbiest, sweatiest old jogging pants they could find complimented by a tank top they'd been working in all day and a fanny pack. Fair enough, they usually had on a pretty cool baseball hat or do-rag or some frontier/safari/"I'm a total f'cking creep" jaunty tam. But still. That's the best they could do for a first "date"?

Posted: 10/19/2009 9:01:10 PM | Does any one remember the comedy show " laugh In"...
Do you remember the old man and old lady sitting on the bench and he would always make some suggestive comment and she would wack him with her purse..
Me thinks many , many of the male population is fast tracking to this conclusion ..
If a women wants to look good , smell good and feel good about herself, this is only a benefit to you and your ego if she should so choose to go out with you . Take it as a compliment that someone would care enough about themselves to try and impress you and not look any further for some dark and deceptive immoral attempt to part you from your
secrete horded riches locked away in your Swiss bank account.
Then again it could be fun for awhile ....

Posted: 10/19/2009 10:14:40 PM | well home
that would make sense, assuming the girl wasnt implying that men should cough up some money to help her achieve this look
especially since apparetly its a first date (whatever that is)
if you want to get dressed up and all faked up , so be it , do as u want
but dont be crying for handouts to help you pay for these adjustments to your appearance
and the other person getting dressed up , isnt a compliment, its merely the way they choose to portray themselves for the first impression
6 months down the road, you tell me how many of your gf,s / bfs are still going to that effort to make themselves presentable
If a women wants to look good , smell good and feel good about herself, this is only a benefit to you and your ego if she should so choose to go out with you"
how do you figure her vanity is a compliment to anyone? even herself
do you recall mimi off the drew carry show
she was a makeup queen too
how complimentary is it or would it be going out with her?
i think maybe your confusing a few things here
she is spending money on herself. she never once said shed spend money on her date
ergo, shes selfishly spending her share of the date money on herself and you the sucker are coming to supplement her vanity and cover her share
the days of women whining about wage equality are over, they make the same as we do. in the old days when women were ladies, they stayed home and didnt work, now, they are just like the rest of us, working and supporting themselves equally
time to remove the glass slippers n slap on your steel toed boots and carry your own way
my last date ,we both chipped in for the first date , i paid for the second date and she paid the next date, it was equal and fair an noone was feeling used or felt like there were expectations
how much money you make doesnt make you dateworthy or not dateworthy. however your effort that you put forth to create an equal playing field does.
if you dont have a lot of money id suggest you do your part and make some effort to create a cheap date for yourself , it doesnt take a lot of money to have a good time or have a good meal, learn to cook
"
oh and cherub , im not really attacking ya , just the topic at hand, hope you dont take it to heart lol cheers n see ya at the event probably lol
ill be the guy in the dirty sweat pants with the holy t shirt smelling of armpits haha | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 10:45:52 PM | Well Trubble
To each their own. It is hard to argue your points as they are your own . We all have opinions, not wrong just different. I personally tend to look at things with open eyes and see what I want to see, I would rather see the good in some one and not judge them before I have met them . We all say things that to some may seem odd or distorted but that does not mean there is intent to be dishonest or hurtful or even spiteful. Some times I find persons whom are brutally honest make the least amount of sense , empathy is just another form of relating to the rest of humanity . If all things now days are equal , I sure
hope there is not a mrs trubble out there ready to ride my butt...I suppose if dating was unionized then maybe some would find their equal. I mean then she would cook and clean and work and raise the kids , get benefits and boot allowance for butt kicking too. Then for the single union dating guy he could just look up his match in the little red dating book and presto ..instant happy karma all things being equal..
In a perfect world .. | |
