And it's this line of thinking that make me want to pay my own way when I go out on dates now. Even if it's just for a cup of coffee. After all, who knows what the guy is expecting for having bought me a $1.99 cup of coffee? Nope, best just to pay my own way, and then we're square. I don't owe him nothin.'
Hey, look, a whole bunch of other things that nobody argued. Reading comprehension is important in environments like these.
Go take a class in statistics and probability, and get back to me. Also, make a career out of health and medical writing, and talk to me about it. You're wrong, I'm right, end of story.

Yep. I've always suspected men think this way. Even though I'm newly back into the dating scene after many years, clearly I was right.
And that suspicion makes me want to pay my own way when I go out on dates now. Even if it's just for a cup of coffee. After all, who knows what the guy is expecting for having bought me a $1.99 cup o' java? Nope, best just to pay my own way, and then we're square. That way, I don't "owe" him nothin.'
I don't. Don't let the kissless virgins and entitled tools on this forum paint your view of all men. Obviously, there are men out there who do think like that--I can tell you a hilarious story of a guy who made a stink with my sister because he paid for her root beer float--but by and large, any man who thinks like that gets what's coming to him, which is a nice, cold dish of reality when he makes a grab.

There we go. I was wondering how long it would be before we got a "I just wanted the last word, now I'm covering my ears!" post.
But for those of us grounded here in logic, Lilac is making some ridiculously gross assumptions to try and back up her personal opinions. And the irony is, a lot of people actually agree with her choice, but getting called out for making up certain "facts" has distracted her.
Suffice to say, people are free to believe what they want, and they're certainly not wrong to do so. It when they try to use generalizations and assumptions to convince others to believe the same that they sound foolish.
What is? That you are entitled to sex for buying a woman a hamburger and a coke, or that a woman has little trust in a man's "nice" gestures?
Yikes! I was only saying that it's a good line of thinking that if you pay your own way, you don't have to worry about silly things like "expectations".
Edit: Ahh, I see how you could have thought I meant the first thing. Poor wording on my part, oops!

Cracked up @ "he paid for her root beer float"! OMG. Hilarious.

I call it the vending machine mentality. They think they just put in money and vagina falls out. Then they get pissed that the vending machine is broken. Don't worry, they really don't all think that way.

"They put money in and a vagina falls out."
OMG, another great laugh. Now I have a label for the line of thinking: the Vending Machine Mentality.
Love it.
