I have no problem if I have to split to the bill or paying the whole meal once but if it's gonna be like this every single time (on every single date) and he doesn't even once surprise me.. not even on Christmas or a special occasion, why should I bother with someone like that?

Ideally it would be good if they switch turns (one time he goes the invitation and another time the woman does it... then other times it's split) instead of treating it like a teammate. I'm not your team nor your buddy.

So if he's going to be frugal then it has to be balanced. If on every single date, all he has is get free coupons and it's the same place then yes it would be a turn-off.

Nope, I'm not mean nor do I have this so called ''entitlement'' issue you keep confusing for. I'm referring if I paid the whole meal once or twice, split the bill so many times, suprise him not only on special occasions but he in turn spends it only on himself all the time then that's when it's a turn-off.

But it seems like with some of you, I have to explain this more than 4 times. I tried explaining this once and on another site someone accused me of being a golddigger. Not even close. I don't care about jewelry nor even like it. A true golddigger would have expected to be asked out every day in elegant places. I'm no where close to that.

Now if it's my birthday then obviously it's my day. Same thing vice-versa.

That’s right. It is a turn off for women to be with a man like that as much as it can be for men to be with a woman like that. So yeah, we’re on the same page.

Or never contribute to dating expenses. Just one who feels entitled to have men spend money on them (hence the expression gold-digger) while all they do is pretty much just show up to the date and have a man take care of taking her out to dinners and drinks, entertainment, and so on.

I dated a man who was so broke ( he just came back from Iraq, military) and I paid for a few dates. I never really cared. I actually lend him money, because he was broke and I am a very grateful person to any military person. Anyway, I left him, but it was not about the money. He had PTSD and refused treatment and he also was an alcoholic. I found out he got a dishonorable discharge from the military because he stole loads of prescription drugs. Then he told me he was going back to OK in the bus some could deal drugs ( he was involved with drug dealers). And he also wanted to move in with me. So I think, sometimes is not about the money. Some people are just losers. Ah and he also got arrested for firing a gun while drunk.

Yet why does it takes too long to get that?
I got out of that site because I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to explained that more than twice and none seem to get it.

You have control over whom you date. If you choose "gold digging whores" then you're the sucker dude.

Men who allow themselves to be used for their wallets are just idiots. Stop whining and change the women you date.
