Tick Tock I see that you are just way to sophisticated to appreciate more of a down to earth opinion. I don't think we would make good friend material you don't strike me as much fun I bet you are the type of woman to send a man a drink at a bar and probably ask him to dance as well................ First of all, I agree that we wouldn't get along because I don't tolerate "spoiled" brats as you've so proudly labelled yourself in your profile. It is no wonder you have such an appalling sense of entitlement. And please, don't consider your opinion to be "down to earth" because there are many women in this thread who disagree with you. I find it amusing that you would consider a woman who sends a man a drink and asks him to dance to be no fun...any guy would consider her to be a fun person and she would probably stick out from the crowd of usual hyenas.
Secondly, I'm a man, not a woman - honestly, how hard is it to read a profile and figure that out for yourself?  | |

| Men paying for the sitter ? Posted: 2/19/2008 9:04:28 PM | | touchy touchy I didn't read your profile you sounded like a woman but now I am sure we would not get along and what is wrong with being spoiled!!! It has always worked for me. If you don't like my profile to bad I am so hurt by your big words again. I see that you are not the kind of man that can appreciate a woman with my sassy and prissy attitude no great loss for me................ | |

| Men paying for the sitter ? Posted: 2/19/2008 9:22:17 PM | You call that "touchy"? Too funny!
I didn't read your profile you sounded like a woman Don't think it would take a rocket scientist to figure out from my posts even...but then again, maybe I'm expecting too much.
I am so hurt by your big words again That's too bad, I'm not hurt by your little ones.

Can't imagine it working for you now (in my opinion) or for much longer. Definitely not a loss for me as I wouldn't consider you on any level. | |

| Men paying for the sitter ? Posted: 2/19/2008 10:16:17 PM | | i have never, ever, even thought of this concept. He is responsible for my children while he is with me? Who picks the sitter and the rate? Ludicrous. Flash,,,,, if you cannot afford a sitter, you probably shouldnt be going out on a date. | |

| Men paying for the sitter ? Posted: 2/20/2008 2:53:47 AM | I'd say no. I think its kind of shallow to ask too. Its not like guys are made of money and quite often they are paying for the first date as it is so asking them to pay for a babysitter wouldn't cross my mind.
If I couldn't afford one or get a family member, I would decline. | |

| Men paying for the sitter ? Posted: 2/20/2008 3:06:02 AM | I would never ASK a man to pay for the sitter.....however a few years back when my kids were young and I had to pay for a sitter I had a couple of dates offer to pay for it. I was surprised and thought it was a very nice gesture.
BlueEyes as you can see from the angry posts here..... Chivalry is dead. We just have to accept it.

| Men paying for the sitter ? Posted: 2/20/2008 3:21:53 AM | first of all, women want to be treated equally, so equal it shall be. the guy is respectful if he opens the door for you. but you are disrespectful if you think a guy should pay your way or pay for your sitter. so why should you be disrespectful and he cant? you think he "owes" it to you to make the perfect date, while you just sit back and enjoy? i hate to break the news to you, but what fun is that for the guy? for him to pick up the tab, every single place you go, and now supporting your family? if you want that, dont ask him on a date, just jump into a marriage if you want him to pay for your baby sitter bills. and dont think a guy should pay for you on the first meeting ,because THATS NOT A DATE. why would you 'date' someone you never met in person. its not a date, its a meeting, big difference.
if you seen each other for a while, then maybe he would like to pay for your dinner etc, but surprises are better when you dont expect it. and women dont want guys to "expect" anything, then you shouldnt expect anything either.
get a job, pay your own way, for the meal ,the sitter, the entertainment, whatever. if he decides to pay for anything, then be appreciative for a change. but if you are not married, then it should not be the guy footing the bill for YOUR enjoyment. it should be a way of getting to know the other person, and the guy is only going to be thinking "now how much have i spent on her tonight?" and "i'm spending all this money on her, and i dont know if she is going to call me again," or he may think "i'm not even having fun, why did i agree to this?". so why should he invest his hard earned dollar when there are so many women that use guys for money? if you want him to focus on YOU then treat him fair, as a friend. you dont expect your friends to pay your way do you?
old fashioned doesnt have anything to do with it. you are merging the guy paying for the date, with the guy writing you a blank check, like a sugar daddy. you should tell him you have kids, and ask his opinion if he wants them to come or not. sometimes they can come, and other times you can be alone.
there is no since in dating 6 months, and not letting your kids around him, then you and him start to work out great. then he meets your devil children, and thinks to himself that he wasted 6 months of his life, and his money, for someone that has uncontrollable children, and that it would never work out.
but if you and the kids and him grow to love each other at the same time, then there are no surprises. and he would know real fast if its meant to be or not. and he will not regret anything, like he would after a long dating period, then a break up.
whats next? u want us to buy them shoes too? get child support and make your ex go broke, then you wont need money for a sitter.

| Men paying for the sitter ? Posted: 3/5/2008 2:20:13 PM | Why are we trying to take dating back to the 1950's? Women in Canada make the same wage for the same jobs as men do. Why can't the woman pay for the baby sitter for her kids? They are her kids not his kids? Ladies would you pay for the sitter for the man you are dating?
I used to work with a woman who claimed she was a single mom (even though she was not) just to pocket the baby sitting money that she demanded the guy pay in order to date her. She never brought the guys home so they had no idea she was not a single mom. | |
