I am trying to understand where the issue of gold-digging came from. We were talking dating here, not marriage.
Goodness fellas, ya'll need to stop worrying about laying a bit of money out. Sheesh, it's only money. What about the position the women are in? When should she decide to open her heart and connect sexually risking losing a bit of her humanity if the guy ends up being a total ASSHAT... you know, the kind that will throw himself all into getting in her panties then leaving her before the freaking spot hits the sheets?
Men... you guys are so freaking funny clinging to your pennies as if that is some great measure of your manhood.
