Kim,

You certainly have an interesting read of what I’ve written! I think you’re somewhat missing my point, though. It’s not the money at all. It’s the act of wanting to treat a woman and acting chivalrous that we crave.

Thanks so much for reading!
Erika

Erika’s reply to economical invitations: “We can have an extra appetizer with the money we’ll save!” Interesting choice of words, when she doesn’t pay anyway. It broadcasts her attitude that a woman is entitled to spend a man’s money.

Erika dated almost 100 guys in a year before finding a boyfriend. Usually such women sleep with one guy, while shopping for an upgrade, and playing the other 99 guys for drink-buying suckers. Say it ain’t so, Erika. 😮

Erika says the first meeting is not a “real” date. It only becomes real when the check comes and the man should pay. A man should be “chivalrous” by scheduling his audition close to the women and letting her choose location. She double-books dates and feels entitled to free sushi dinner even when she knows she doesn’t like the guy.

Quality guys avoid dinner whores. Enjoy the thirsty losers who tolerate it.

I have to say, if a woman says thank you before I even look at the bill (on a first date) I’m going to view her as a gold digger. With the spread of feminism I take exception to women who pick and choose the old school gender roles that benefit her. If the woman doesn’t want to be called a gold digger to all oft friends when she reaches for her purse it won’t be in the hopes that I will offer to pay. It will be to grab that $5 bill she set aside for this. After all, it’s only a $3 cup of coffee and a generous $2 tip.

[…] the bill or letting the woman pay: You remember the game of “pick-up check.” The guy should pay on a first date. Whether you like each other or not, it’s still a date […]

In reply to Eric. Eric, Thanks for the comment. I think you’re missing the point a bit, though. It’s not about the money. It’s about the guy acting chivalrous on a date. That’s what we want.

What an entitled attitude. If a girl makes a stink about paying for her coffee I can only imagine her seeing me as a walking ATM while we’re dating. Next.

Timothy, I appreciate your comment. Generally, if you’re doing online dating, the first meeting is still your first impression of someone, so even if he was just testing the waters, it would have been better to pay for the coffee.
