First to understand where the question is coming from lets make some things clear.

Most women are not gonna date a man that can't even give them money to do their hair or to buy lunch or just plain give them some sort of money.


So I ask, what if he made this comparison.


His Girl: Gives her money, has to compromise and sometimes give up his fun, can only get sex when she wants to give it and sometimes argue and fight

The Pro: He gets sex as long as he pays, no arguments, he gets his space and fun and can hang with the guys when he feels like it.


PLEASE SPEAK YOUR MINDS!

Married 13 years and he never gave me money.

Dating...one time I was forced to pay for my own 59 cent roll of paper towels.


This concept of a man handing out money....it's....very foreign to me.....

and I might be naive...but I don't understand the question.

I don't understand the question neither. Plus, I have never and would never date a man and want/expect him to give me lunch money or pay for my hair cut. That's quite odd.

I *think* Mr88 is trying to compare having a girlfriend/wife with just going to a prostitute and not having any "relationship issues" - almost like you still pay if you have a girlfriend/wife with more "hassles" than just going to a "pro"? Maybe?

If that's the case, then Mr88 - it seems you feel a girlfriend/wife is basically also a prostitute, only more "socially acceptable"? If so.....Have you ever been married or had a girlfriend???

In any case, very strange post......

Please try to understand before you say that......in Jamaica if you meet a girl, 9 times out of 10 she'll want you to support her financially as they say love can't eat. And also, if you can't provide for her financially she'll use it against you when you try to get a little bedroom fun. That's all.

I just thought it was the same there as it is here.

Mr88, It is not at all like that in most places here. Only strippers and such will treat you that poorly here. Most women do not expect you to support them until after you marry them. They do like to be treated nicely and will expect you to pay for the entertainment you arrange on your dates, ie movies, theater, concerts, meals and the like. The do not expect you to buy their dresses or underwear. They do not expect you to pay their rent or car payment or for their beauticians.

If the women you are meeting are like that, I suggest you quit hanging with these pros and find some nice women. You may not get laid as much, but it will be much more enjoyable when you do.

IMHO, most women don't even "expect" you to support them--but more often, are equal partners in supporting the household.
