lives in his parents or relative basement with a roommate
Is it a self contained suite? Does he pay fair market value?
I personally don't care if he rides transit or flips burgers. As long as he is self supporting, it doesn't matter what he does. | |

Posted: 2/1/2007 2:53:19 PM | This is not true of all women!!!
When my ex boyfriend was having money problems I told him that we could do free dates, or if we went somewhere costly I would pay for myself. FOR ME it's not about the money, but about being with someone you care about.
On the other hand, I do not want to be with someone who lives with his parents and cannot support himself, can't keep a job, etc. I am constantly working to improve my business and education, among other things, and am looking for someone who has that same drive. Money is not a motivator for me, but the desire to achieve is. | |

Another woman insisted I buy her a steak dinner on the first date.
Maybe you should consider dating vegetarians. | |

Posted: 2/2/2007 4:01:54 AM | | Well, I think you just got stuck with 2 very materialistic dates. The woman who insisted on you buying her a steak dinner is a complete loser. As I always say, the key is to find a woman who can enjoy your company when there isn't a need to spend any or a lot of money. She'll want to go running or cycling or for a walk or hiking or to the beach or rent a DVD or go to the movies or play tennis or hit a bucket of golf balls or any number of other fun, low-cost activities. | |

Posted: 2/2/2007 4:32:48 AM | It is not all about the income. There was an article on MSN that women who are lawyers, MD'd etc... are dating more guys that are in a "blue-collar" job. For me I don't care what income you have. I started dating my ex fiance when he was broke and living in his mom's basement. I saw him increase his income, buy a house, new car, etc... He has also lost it all just recently (stupid mistakes being made) We broke up long before he lost all these things. His money got to his head and he wasn't the same person I met. We are still good friends though.
PLUS, haven't you heard of Patsy Clines "Poor Man's Roses" Listen to it sometime. I would choose a poor mans roses any day. | |

Posted: 2/2/2007 5:20:25 AM | | you are so right. I purposely will not take a woman to a fancy place on the first date. If you can't have a simple first date that is as simple as a bike ride or a walk in a park to get to know each other then what is the point. To many times men or women will try to impress so much on the first date that they cannot keep up the Charade. Anyone can take a woman to a steakhouse and have a good time and spend lots of money, but if you cannot have a good time just the two of you with no material stimulation around, do you want to be together? After all one day you may be broke and destitute due, to the perils of life, and if your relationship is built on materialistic matters then it will be doomed and you will never be able to make it through hard times. | |

Posted: 2/2/2007 5:52:28 AM | I think we do date up or down the income scale now and then...
For me, if I can afford the steak I will ask her out, if not I will not.
If it is a first date and she wants expensive this and that, and expects me to pay, there may be issues... I like to offer but I want a women in my life that is independent enough to want to pay her own way!
So for the first date sure I will pay but if the convo stays on the money issue too long... there may not be a second date!

Posted: 3/7/2007 11:09:47 PM | | I miss my crappy paying job. I miss the job where ***holes threw auto parts at me and I was paid well below what is a poverty wage. If you date someone it's all about what you do..that's part of what makes you..you...that's a load of crap. I would rather be with someone that loves what they do..than someone that makes millions doing something that makes them grouchy and miserable. | |

Posted: 3/7/2007 11:33:54 PM | Most of the women I dated, I would safely say were caught up with how much money I made and what I had. But there have been a few, that were geniunely (sp?) good hearted people, that would probably give the shirt off thier back (hmmmm... ) But serously there are a few left out there. But there is a saying "I can be broke byself" wouldn't want to be broke with somebody else | |

Posted: 7/31/2008 3:13:40 PM | | I think it is in their basic programing that when they are with a man they don't pay. Get this, I met my ex-wife a couple of weeks ago to pick up the kids for my 2hr wend visit. It was raining and one of the kids didn't fell very good so she suggested we take them to a nearby restaurant for something to eat. Normally I just take them somewhere on my own but this time I thought I'd be cordial about it. Well everything was ok until the bill came. She just got up and left and the thought of helping me pay the bill never even crossed her mind and we aren't even married anymore. | |

Dating is all about income...I went out with one woman who asked me "why don't you work overtime?" Another woman insisted I buy her a steak dinner on the first date.
Two dates and you know what it's all about! | |

Posted: 7/31/2008 4:03:02 PM | A lot depends on the woman.
I have met some women who dont care how much Imake and other who want to know down to the last penny how much I earn !
I dont understand why some of these women dont do the modern thing and get a degree and get a decent job and look after themselves ! | |

Posted: 7/31/2008 4:04:37 PM | I live in a modest bachelor pad, just like "David DeAngelo"; the 1 significant difference b/w him & I is he's worth $50 mil, & I'm under 6 figures. Other than that, not too much.
I absolutely accept whenever a woman takes me out, on her. And I make a point of reciprocating, when given the chance, plus More, actually.
It's More than Fair, in our current world where women make as much or more than us
hard-working guys, to split the bill when we have fun with each other. That much is basic reality, not really open for a lot of discussion.
If a woman is in dire straights, & she wants to date me, I can accommodate.
If a woman is financially comfortable & still wants to date, I can accommodate her.
I don't have a price, & neither does she.
I'm always happy to spring for coffee or a drink/2 whenever I do the inviting.
Have also done $50 dinners/$75 theater invites after huge kisses on 1st meet/greets.
(Don't make a habit out of it). I've also spent nothing and had a playmate move in w/me
w/o my asking. So There IS a balance in there somewhere. | |

Posted: 7/31/2008 5:22:53 PM | broke guy rants are boring. dating is what it is. when you attempt to date beyond your level of attractiveness you will have to bring other assets to the table; money. Don't **** about it, just buy a ladder and get the hell over it.
Happy socialism to you in the after life! | |

How much is a steak dinner? Maybe the woman never wanted to meet him, and she guessed he couldn't afford the dinner. This is why she has insisted her want! | |

If women don't like the thought of dating being about sex, why do they post photos of all their body parts being displayed? Undoubtedly it is to impress men. I personally find it VERY yummy.

Posted: 7/31/2008 6:24:14 PM | Hi Intelluxlone,
You got it right. But remember, it was not a"date" for her(your ex). After all, she is the mother of your children. Men and women can't be equal at least in biological way, Men can never get pregnant. (Not that we are breeding machines). | |
