Posted: 6/19/2006 11:39:14 PM | | Let's be honest. Dating is all about income. CEO's don't date janitors. 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. | |

women can't be equal to men, so we need to buy them stuff.
at least that's how it used to work...they called it "chivalry" or some such thing. we also used to open doors for them, because they used to walk right into them if you didn't. but the times, they are a'changin'...just the other day i saw a woman open a door herself! and not just any door...but one of those glass ones that even confuse some men. | |

"Incoming!"...now, if you want to follow things up with a "Score!" or a "Touchdown!", that's your business.
Don't leave the money on the nightstand, that's so tacky. This is 2006...just deposit it directly into her account. | |

And if you and the CEO work for the same company, it might be more of an HR issue than the fact that you are a janitor. Some companies have strict policies against inter-office dating. | |

I'm sure their status of being janitors or mail clerks would not stop anybody from not dating them. Get real. But, there is more to life then looking good. Do you have mental stimulation during conversations? I am starved for a man who is my equal or more educated than I am, that I date, not just chat on POF or elsewhere. Do you get my drift folks? I do have a bf who is this equal in my mental stimulation. Wow, what a turn on...Oooh yeah... | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 1:41:41 AM | | hmm, i guess then u havent been dating real men, cos i dont think a real man would ever have a woman paying. | |
|

Posted: 6/20/2006 1:47:50 AM | not true...
I do like paying for myself, I get rid of the gulity feeling if I turn him down later... 
jk
there's nothing wrong with a girl paying for herself. But I admit I find it confusing if I pay for us both on a first date and he doesn't say a word... now that applies to your comment for sure :) | |

My current minimum standard for a guy is that he has a job and a vehicle. When I become a millionare, he'll just have to have a current driver's license. | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 2:02:50 AM | lol, very cool about the guilty feeling, But still, i dont know how they do it out there as for me i can never stop being a gentleman and showing it to a woman that i am one too, even if she has to turn me down, Im a man and i have to take that responsibility. Ive had women who have said no we'll split it but i refuse and pay it all.
I guess its just a gesture of a man showing the woman, he can handel things. | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 4:12:56 AM | | I don't think dating is about all about income.....I do EXPECT a MAN to have his own, because if I can bust my butt working for my income...he can too. Have had two males put a ring on my finger.....then decide to quit working......HAD is the Key word. I don't expect a man to buy...buy..buy...for me.....I have found that moving from North to South that men have different ideas regarding this money thing. Not judging all by a few, however, Have had more men in the South pay for dinner,open doors,( not expect something for Their money per say )......and have had more men from the south look at me as if I was insane when I pull out my wallet to pay........or open the door for them......Just my obsevation folks...nothing more. | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 4:23:25 AM | having the man pay for everything is a tradition that dates back to when women were subservient and not in the workforce in any money-intensive way.
see Chivalry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chivalry
anyway...now we're on almost even ground in the workforce...
so where's my free dinners? | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 4:30:28 AM | Dating is no all about income at all, i would rather do something simple that does not cost much. I really do not like the thought of a man spending alot of money on me, if it does not work out then it seems like it is just a waste of money for him. There are alot of things you can do that do not cost much ice cream and a walk along the beach,coffee a day in the park. If a women is interested in how much money you are going to spend on her then maybe you should not even go out on a date with her sweetie | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 6:03:03 AM | Young and Restless, why would anyone berate you for that? You can choose to not date anyone you like for any reason you see fit.
I've dated a few women that earned more than me. Some are comfortable with it and some are not. I insist on paying for dinner on the first date. Normally I'm the one asking them to dinner. Never openly argue about it, just grab the bill when it comes and take care of business. If she feels guilty about it and says something, I always offer to have her to take care of the check next time, or she can buy the movie tickets if that's where we are going next. Income isn't on my list of qualities I'm looking for.
OP, you're a web designer, you can't be that poor. As long as you're employed there should be plenty of other ladies out there that will be interested in what you have to offer. | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 6:19:21 AM | there's nothing wrong with a janitor. my ex was a janitor at a hospital made more $ than I did as an office clerk at the time. as a little girl my mother would tell me I should marry someone rich (b/c I have expensive taste) I used to tell her I wasn't going to marry rich. I was going to be rich. who needs the man.
but In my opinion which comes with age & experience...its never about the $ its about how he treats the girl. | |

"GottaTa have a J O B , if ya wanna be with me. Can't get no romance without finance"
Can't remember who sang it, but it still has some relevance today.
Gwen Guthrie
AIN'T NOTHIN' GOIN' ON BUT THE RENT
Bill collectors at my door
What can you do for me
Hey

No romance without finance
Boy, nothin’ in life is free
That’s why I’m askin’ you what can you do for me
I’ve got responsibilities
So I’m lookin’ for a man whose got money in his hands
‘Cause nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’
You got to have somethin’ if you wanna be with me
Oh, life is too serious, love’s too mysterious
A fly girl like me needs security
‘Cause ain’t nothin’ goin’ on but the rent
You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me
Ain’t nothin’ goin’ on but the rent
You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me
No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance
Boy, you’re silky ways are sweet
But you’re only wastin’ time if your pockets are empty
I’ve got lots of love to give
But I will have to avoid you if you’re unemployed
‘Cause nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’
You got to have somethin’ if you wanna be with me
‘Cause life is too serious, love’s too mysterious
A fly girl like me needs security
‘Cause ain’t nothin’ goin’ on but the rent
You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me
Ain’t nothin’ goin’ on but the rent
You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me
No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance
No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance
Oh, you look good to me
Your silky words are sweet
But your pockets sure look empty
Ooh, nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’
You got to have somethin’ if you wanna be with me
Whoa, life is too serious, love’s too mysterious
A fly girl like me needs security
I said life is too serious, love’s too mysterious
Fly girl like me needs security
‘Cause ain’t nothin’ goin’ on but the rent
You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me
Ain’t nothin’ goin’ on but the rent
You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me
No romance without finance
No romance without finance

I said no romance without finance
What can you do for me
Oh, you look good to me
Your silky words are sweet
But your pockets sure look empty
Ain’t nothin’ goin’ on but the rent
I’m lookin’ for a man to put some money in my hands

Let's be honest. Dating is all about income. CEO's don't date janitors. 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.
Perhaps that's your version of honesty; it's not mine nor is it many people's...most of the men I've dated have had a significanty lower income than I. I wasn't with them for how much they had, but for who they were. I don't need or want a man to support me monetarily; nor do I want to do that for him. The main importance of earning an income is that one needs to be responsible for them self.
of course it's all about income...
women can't be equal to men, so we need to buy them stuff.
at least that's how it used to work...they called it "chivalry" or some such thing. we also used to open doors for them, because they used to walk right into them if you didn't. but the times, they are a'changin'...just the other day i saw a woman open a door herself! and not just any door...but one of those glass ones that even confuse some men.
'Women can't be equal to men'? Not to insult any neanderthal's, but that type of thinking is was past chauvinistic, IMO. I've paid my way since the day I started working; I own 2 homes and pay all the bills associated with them; if there's something that needs fixing that I can't do myself, I hire someone with the expertise and pay them to do it; and I don't believe that only the man pays on a date. As for opening doors, I open them for anyone, including men; it's not called chivalry - it's called consideration and manners. There's a big difference between expecting something and simply appreciating it.
having the man pay for everything is a tradition that dates back to when women were subservient and not in the workforce in any money-intensive way.
'Subservient"? If you think taking care of the home and family isn't harder than going to a job everyday, you obviously don't have any idea of what's involved with that...and women did (and still do) all that without getting 'paid' for it. | |
