To add, my last girlfriend, who is an RN, paid for 1 date in 4 months.....I probably put out around $4K in that time....I like to do stuff.....skiing, skating, plays, concerts, dining, etc.
This has been the norm for me. I'm not the kind of person that demands I pay either.
I walked away from her....it was clear she is what I seem to find in my area......takers....how I would love to find someone that actually believes in something more than "selective equality."

"Honestly - I would expect whomever ASKED the other person to go spend time with them so they could get to know you better would be the person to pay for the date. "
Depends... you ask me out, I expect to pay for my own... I ask you out, I expect to pay for both unless we've discussed differently beforehand. Honestly, I prefer to pay for my own... this way I can order what I actually want regardless of price and not feel guilty lol.

DedicatedDad, that ain't right. I'm an RN -- and we make pretty good money.
Takers are the norm, I was married to one -- and while he was the one that left me, my bank account was glad of it. I'm NOT a taker.....I do what I can with what I have to make life easier for my SO. He bought a new laptop to take on his upcoming extended trip for his job -- I set it up, set up his email, set up his internet security, had a friend of mine work with me to translate a bunch of forms that he needs to do his paperwork -- and now, at the 11th hour, I need to show him what to do and how to do it. I'll also be available every Sunday night when he's going crazy over payroll. **LOL**
My point is that while he could have done most of that, some of it he couldn't. I was glad to do for him, even if it didn't involve money. It took me hours, especially with the forms and figuring out how to work with them.
gr8dad, no woman has EVER asked you out? Really? Wow.....that's hard to believe in this day and age. I hope that someday someone does!

Nope, and I assure you, I would say YES in a heartbeat, LOL.

Why give a "senior" discount, they have had plenty of time to raise the money...

That is just baffling to me -- I don't get it.

Right on target, and utterly depressing. Yet just ANOTHER flaw in women that they HAVE, but refuse to admit or justify.

Believe me Gr8dad, you're spot on. I work with enough "single mom" techs (and what I mean by single mom is girls who get pregnant as single women by multiple guys then decide now that they've gotten to age 25 or so, they want to get married. They think it's no big deal for the guy to accept the fact they'll have to deal with at least one or two or maybe 3 ex's and the hilarity that ensues in visitation/transportation/child support etc...But you even mention them dating a guy who has "fathered" a child...the series of "hell no's" reverberates through the room. Now mind you, this group generally represents what we'd term the "white trash" segment of society for the most part. But the mentality is firmly entrenched none the less.

Honestly, you see it on HERE with quite a few posters. They talk about how they want their ex's to be good Dad's and stand up guys, then they, THEMSELVES, either brag about, or give advice to others to RUN when the chance for a relationship with a guy who has a kid or a difficult ex. As though the difficult ex is somehow the GUYS fault.
Another double standard, defended by women, and ignored as a fault.
