Went out the other night for crazy golf and then dinner with a lass. She seemed put out that I only went halves on dinner.
Well, I had paid for the crazy golf. Who does she think she is, Princess Di?

Now, onto tonight's shenanigans. Got a match on Tinder, really cute girl- mutual friend so not a fake. First message to me was "you can tie my hands" and various light filth ensued. Now she's just bloody disappeared. That's no fun...

Mine too. 
They're obviously intelligent, but as this is ph do they like cars? 
Will their income support my car buying habit???? 
Other requirements are size 10/12, attractive, gsoh and the winner gets to go to....... Monaco to watch the racing.
But only if they're paying, have no gag reflex and take It up the dirt box? They're obviously intelligent, but as this is ph do they like cars? Will their income support my car buying habit???? Other requirements are size 10/12, attractive, gsoh and the winner gets to go to....... Monaco to watch the racing.Right?

I may be wrong but sometimes guys forget that they just jump in the shower get dressed, maybe buy fuel for the car and turn up for a date. A girl might spend at the hairdressers, have a manicure/pedicure, eyebrows/eyelashes, Brazilian or waxing, maybe a new outfit, fuel.....etc. by the time she gets to the date she may be £100 down at least. I always have a manicure and pedicure and get my eyes done -£75 later I turn up for my date. That is without fuel and paying for the meal or half of the meal. So yes, I would be put out a little if a guy expected me to pay. If I invite a guy to mine though, then I would cook, or pay for the meal if we went out as he would be my guest then. It's a difficult one for me, I have always had guys who earned more than me and paid for everything. Well, I had paid for the crazy golf. Who does she think she is, Princess Di?
Later on in the relationship........sexy underwear is not cheap - stockings......

We don't care about any (edit: most) of that - you don't do it for the bloke, you do it as an extra layer of armour against other women who may be competition. Therefore, inadmissible as legitimate expenses.Later on in the relationship........sexy underwear is not cheap - stockings......

Stockings are nothing. Even fashioned stockings aren't hugely expensive. It's everything else that costs ... Corselettes, garter belts and girdles etc. My OH works in the lingerie business, which is a blessing and a curse.
How is that in anyway a curse? She works with high-end stuff, so not much else will do. I buy her the occasional set, but as you can see, it's quite expensive.

My friends and I find that guys don't pay for much these days because they are seeing several women at the same time. It is mainly a drink, yours or mine etc. a meal if you are lucky and then they want you to pay half. They will pay for everything only for the girl half their age or the girl that looks like a model because she has choices.

You're saying you're ugly then? Equal oppurtunities to be honest. You'd complain if you got paid less at work, so why pay less on a date? Here in Norway woman pay for themselves, and will insist on it even if you offer. Also spending £100 on getting ready for a first internet date is insanity, and isn't the guy's fault, but rather your own choice. You have no idea what they're like - personality could be wrong, photos could be 5 years old etc. The reason I would pay is if the person has a lot less money than me (i.e. student for example). But I'd do that for other friends when meeting them too sometimes, as others have done this for me which is very much appreciated.

And who says only women spend on preparing for dates? Haircut, nice new shoes, maybe a shirt, some scent? Easy to spend £100.
