Same here, Dan! I actually tend to spend MORE when I am 5th wheel (and for myself).

Two weeks ago our group of friends went to a really cool club in the city, and paid VIP access. I ordered a magnum bottle of Grey Goose just for myself for the personal stash behind the bar! That was $450! I ended up sharing because it was too much but oh how fun to spoil thyself!

I live in Sacramento, CA.

The type of places for $25 a person here would be the chain places: Applebees, Friday's, etc.

Don't get me wrong, there are treasures in the trash but it's still going to be $40-$50 each.

id like to sign up for a date please

OMG, I LOVE going to Hooters! The food, the slushy beer mugs, the eye candy, and the fact that there is always a game on is really fun for a date!

See you are the kind of girl that is at home in the hood and the club in meant clubhouse

What?

I am comfortable being casual, yes, but I don't get the last part of your statement.


" ... club in meant clubhouse."

Do you mean a country club? I do play golf and tennis now, so I joined a country club. I don't think that's what you mean though.

In terms of 'clubbing', I like most Hollywood clubs like Goa, H Wood, and Le Deux. The closest thing we have in Sacramento to that is The Park Ultra. DJ AM was a guest here in March and that was pretty cool.

Clubhouse? You'll have to explain that one!

That's exactly what I meant - my club is a little pricey but it is a must have in my life.

Since i'm a broke ass now . dating might be out of the question

Thinking about it ... i didn't do much of it when i wasn't

My point is ... nevermind

I use to think it was a problem because i have no real job to speak of, but lately I have several dates lined up with different women & they are aware of my situation. The economy sucks it's common for people to be out of work these days! I'm going to be a busy boy

I was unemployed for like a week once.

I think if a woman EXPECTS for you to spend a lot of money on her, then you have the right to say shes after your money! BUT just going out to dinner and the man paying AFTER he asked her out on the date...shouldn't he pay? He is the one that asked her out!
Dinner for 2 at the Chinese Buffet...13.87
Not to shabby!!

WOW...I can tell you are a true gentleman!

The great thing is......there are several things to do WITHOUT money, long walks, going to the park, dancing in the moonlight...IMAGINATION!!!!!! If you really like someone, how much you spend should not be a factor.

Yeah, we just don't get his sense of ummmmm humor (yeah that's the word....) here.



I think as long as someone is honest about their situation then we can fairly choose whether or not to date them. I see no reason not to date if you are unemployed. However, being a lazy shiftless turd is another story.

Hand ups are fine. Hand outs are another story.

sorry, by rule, if you're unemployed you have to remain celebate.

and no masturbating either





wow

when papersmile and I go out we might spend $10 at the bookstore for a pot of tea

walking through the park holding hands is free

and then maybe $5 to split a bannana split

and maybe $20 to rent a movie and a bottle of wine if we feel like staying up late

Because historicly men have been the breadwinners, and women stayed at home most of the time with theyre kids being mothers. Equal rights like voting werent given voting rights til much later than men even.. its been a while since then, but things stay similar, because we still have traditions, discrimination, and typicly make less than you.

As a woman, for sure a better idea in my mind is that yes he has a decent job even if i am willing to work, which i have always worked 2 jobs..

Yes, when and if we plan on having kids with you for instance.. we dont want a unemployed guy so we have to leave our infants to be taught, and protected by someone we probably dont know, or isnt us, bonding is important for mother and child, and should have plenty of time to make that bond very strong.

Also, tradional roles come to mind... physically stronger many times, bigger than us, protectors, and quite more dominant often.

Men.

*shruggs*

Im more than happy to pay at times for dinner, or half, but honestly.. thats not what Im looking for. If someone has a problem with it, either maybe they shouldnt date, find someone willing to pay, or get some schooling in to achieve a career.

I dont see roles changing anytime soon.

Im not here to be supported financially.. but I prefer for a man to pay for a date.

Wow from me too!

If I were dating, I'd feel too guilty to allow a man to spend that sort of money on me for just a date. And I'm certainly too cheap to spend that kind of money on him! If we were in a relationship, I guess that'd be something else. I can go away for a weekend with that kind of money!

I just bought a bottle of wine at the liquor store for under $20 and would rather drink it on my back porch than in some smokey, loud club with a bunch of half-drunken strangers.

Truthfully, I always found the inexpensive dates far more interesting and memorable than the pricey ones anyway. I'd MUCH rather go ice skating and have a hot chocolate or a bike ride stopping for an ice cream.

Can't say it any better than that!

I think inexpensive dates are more fun. They're more creative and more enjoyable. Sure, it's fun getting dressed up and going out every once in a while, but I'd always choose the inexpensive date over that.

The best date I've had in a long time was spent wandering around a field of prairie dogs and talking. Then miniature golf. I had the best time.
