Women, if a man did not pay the tab on the first date, would you go on a second date?

  • Thread starter Thread starter heatherrae

Best line I heard from a female friend. She actually told this to her girl I was trying to play around with. "He has deep pockets but very short arms." I think any money talk can kill any sexual chemstry when you are hanging out with someone in the beginning.
 
some of these responses slay me.

ya'll ever heard of ERA?

you gals demand equal salaries in the work place, equality in job duties and status, then still try to foist off 50 year old dating practices on guys who got passed over for promotion because managment "need to put a woman in the slot"....ya'll want it all, ya'll want it both ways... :rolleyes:

I have totally misunderstood what you were trying say ^^^
... so bear with me..

Are you separating "first impression" and "being themselves" like they are two different ways of behaving?

If you are - that is (IMHO) the leading reason why relationships fail.

If you can't be who you are and have to put on a fake persona to get a mate - you will surely lose that person once they figure out you're a fraud.

That said - if being yourself means you can't be taken in public without embarrassing someone then that a whole different problem.

By first impression, avoid first date faux pas and ask how to dress, casual or glam, gym gear (I have trained with someone as a first date :))

I guess it is because of my job and training so much, I often don't bother with makeup or dressing up all the time.

Good first impression, scrub up nice!

There will be enough of those 'couple bubble' nights in in slobby clothing with a DVD for your significant other to get to know the 'real you' :)

It's just a matter of common courtesy that when you invite someone somewhere, you should pay.


As far as the equal rights are concerned, more than 90% of americas most wealthy according to Forbes are MEN. Most of Congress are men. Most CEO's and CFO's of fortune 500 companies are MEN. Equality is far from present in the United States. The Old Boy's Club is alive and well.

I'm all over the place on this...I've typed out five or six responses but never posted.

A couple of points -

1) I always offer to pay part of the bill, either by word or gesture (reaching for the bill, reaching for my bag, etc), but I've never had a guy actually let me. I don't think I'd be bothered by it, though. It feels like the traditional, courteous thing to do, however, if he is the one who invited the girl out on a date. If I ever invite someone to do something with me, friend or boyfriend, I've always paid for it (like buying concert tickets, etc). On a first date, though, this would probably not make a difference to me one way or another but I might take it as a signal that he wasn't interested because he was ending things the way I'd end dinner with friends. Mulling over who owes what. But lack of a second date wouldn't be because I didn't have interest. I'd assume HE didn't.

2) for the record, I'm no feminist. I think there's a certain comfort level in traditional gender roles, and I keep up my end of that. My work is a contradiction on the surface, but it all falls in line if you know me well enough to know that I only enjoy doing the work because it allows me to take care of my family. I couldn't care less about the glass ceiling because I'll be gone and retired from finance and starting my own businesses before I ever hit it. Let the people who want to live their lives at the office and miss their kids baseball games have the big desk. :whatever:
