I had a date who told me he thought I was "F-ing stupid". I picked up my bag and left at that point. It was like being in a "post only if you agree" thread and I was of a dissenting opinion.

On a first date, what's one thing the other person could say that would make you bolt for the door? I forgot my wallet! Because you are incapable of paying for a meal and a movie? I'm not attacking you personally but I think its quite pathetic for women to demand to be paid the same wage as men but expect men to do most of the treating on a date. Maybe I'm bias because I make good money but I have no problem treating a guy to a night out, even on a First date. Actually, msmyka, I make EXCELLENT money but if a man is asking me out on a date...he pays. If I ask him out I pay. I am all about fair play.....but the question was posed as a what if.... I am old school as well.....beings I was brought up that way. I see your point based on who is doing the asking, although that was not specified at any point in the question or answer. My mother has always been the supporter of our family (with both my stepdad and my read dad). I grew up under the impression that I was the only person I should ever count on to support me and not to expect a man to do it. Ever. I know this is a bit from the "First Date" question but if women want equality all the way around then we should act as such and not complain about having to crack open our wallets from time to time. Wow. The last time I brought something along these lines up, I got freakin CRUCIFIED for it. AAAWWWW!! I won't let anyone hurt the monkey!!! He is sooo cute! Come sit on Tazz's lap! No one will crucify the monkey!

any reference to meds, a wife or girlfriend, or informing me of their time(s) spent in jail That pretty much sums it up.

I am old school as well.....beings I was brought up that way. So... being old school, you probably expect him to do the asking out on a date. Therefore, by default, he would pay most/all the time.

Any talk about marriage (as in "I'm looking to get married") and any talk about how God brought us together. I'd like God to check with me first.

Elaborate plans to burn down a motel for no particular reason. Just not a real "date" to me....

Lol... didn't see a joke and didn't take this in the least bit personally and was not offended at all. Was pointing out the logic of 'old school would expect the man to ask the woman out'. Just a discussion
